Portuguese term or phrase: principais campeonatos da Europa e de competições europeias
Hi everyone, I'm translating the rules for an app allowing you to bet on football matches. I'd just like to check if 'campeonato' and 'competição' have specific meanings here, such as leagues and cups, or are just general words to mean all kinds of football competitions. If I use 'championship' with English in front of it, it might look like I'm referring to the English Championship. Would 'tournament' be a good general term or is 'competition' better? To UK English. Thanks for your help!
