As the most expert futsal fans will probably know, in Brazil every state organizes its own competitions (together with the national competitions run by CBFS).

Below we report all the estadual winners in 2005 (highest and male category only), state by state! The only state in which the "estadual" still has to reach the end is Rio Grande do Norte, where the winner will be known on January 20th.

Talking about the most important states, we definitely have to underline the first ever victory of John Deere in the gaucha federation (state of Rio Grande Do Sul).

ECB/São Bernardo could celebrate the bi-campeonato in the Paulista's tournament. No surprises in the catarinense and paranaense competitions, in which Malwee and Cascavel gave no chances to their respective opponents.

Carioca's (Rio de Janeiro) title went to Poker/Petrópolis/Ikinha, while in Minas Gerais, as was supposed to happen, the Miltinho's V&M Minas.
