Five SAFs occupied the first five positions among the eight teams that qualified for the second phase, with the Botafogo-PB finishing in first place, followed by Brusque FC, Ferroviária-SP, and Maringá FC. The new team Inter de Limeira, which had its SAF approved less than a week ago, finished in fifth place. The SAF of Confiança, however, finished among the two teams that were relegated, with only 13 points. The Ituano escaped relegation, while the Amazonas was in the middle of the table and the Figueirense failed to qualify again. The second phase will see two SAFs in each group, increasing the chances of access to the Série B and the number of clubs under the new model in the second division.
