Format The Campeonato Nacional de Juvenis begins in mid-August and ends in June. The Nacional de Juvenis season is played in three phases. In the first phase there are four regional groups of twelve teams. The top four teams of each group qualify to one of two the second phase Apuramento de Campeão groups. There are two groups composed of eight teams, North and South. The top two teams and best third placed team qualify directly to the third phase while the second best third placed team and best fourth placed team play a third phase Apuramento league with the Azores and Madeira regional champions, with the top team qualifying to the third phase.
