The Taça Asa Branca (English: White Wing Cup), was a friendly football super cup tournament, reuniting the winners of Copa do Nordeste and Copa Verde, the two minor (regional) cups of the Brazilian football pyramid. There were only two editions (one of them with an invited team), and it was discontinued due to lack of available dates.[2]
