The Brazilian soccer tournament is organized every year by the Brazilian Soccer Confederation. Its major sponsor is TV Globo, the largest media group and television network in Brazil, which imposes constraints on the games to be broadcast. Scheduling the games of this tournament is a very constrained problem, with two objectives: breaks minimization (fairness) and the maximization of the revenues from TV broadcasting. We propose an integer programming decomposition strategy to solve this problem to optimality. Numerical results obtained for the 2005 and 2006 editions of the tournament are reported and compared. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
