The 2021 Campeonato Goiano (officially the Campeonato Goiano de Profissionais da 1ª Divisão – Edição 2021) was the 78th edition of Goiás's top professional football league organized by FGF. The competition began on 28 February 2021.[1]
The competition counted with the return of Itumbiara and Jataiense (teams promoted from the 2020 Campeonato Goiano da Divisão de Accesso) that occupied the two places of the two 2020 relegated teams.[2] Atlético Goianiense were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the semi-finals.
Due to the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, the Government of Goiás suspended the Campeonato Goiano between 16 and 30 March 2021. The tournament resumed on 31 March 2021,[3] and ended on 23 May 2021.
Tied 2–2 on aggregate, Grêmio Anápolis defeated Vila Nova on penalties 5–4 winning the Campeonato Goiano for the first time.[4]
