In December 1982 a team billed as the "Brazilian All-Stars" undertook a tour to East Asia. This team was
a combination of players almost entirely from Minas Gerais clubs, principally Atlético Mineiro. It was
reported that proceeds of the tour would go to the players' union AGAP (Associação de Garantia ao Atleta
Profissional de Minas Gerais), and that the touring team was representing this organization. During the
tour some administrative controversy developed, as the players had reportedly not received permission
from their clubs nor the CBF to take part.
