1952 Copa Rio
The 1952 Copa Rio was the second and last edition of the Copa Rio, the first intercontinental club football tournament with teams from Europe and South America, held in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo from 12 July to 2 August. The competition was organized by CBD and Fluminense, and it carries this name because it was sponsored by the Rio de Janeiro City Hall. Participant clubs were divided into two zones of four teams, playing each other once in a single round-robin tournament.
