History
Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas arrived at 1995 without winning the Brazilian Championship since 1968, when it won the Taça Brasil. The squad was built with Túlio Maravilha, the competition's top scorer, as the main attacking reference. The coach of the campaign was Paulo Autuori, who organized a competitive and consistent team throughout the tournament, which was played in knockout stages after the first phase. The final was against Santos. In the final, Túlio's handball goal was notable, a controversial play that became one of the most discussed moments in the championship's history. The 1995 title is Botafogo's first conquest in the Brazilian Championship played in the modern format and remains one of the great black-and-white campaigns of the period.
