Squad29 Mar 2027

80 days out for Kauê after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Botafogo-PB will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Sávio stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Sávio and Botafogo-PB agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Botafogo-PB

Nicolás Acevedo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Dudu falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Leo Gomes gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Gustavo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Gustavo is on it.

Market25 Jan 2027

Luiz Henrique hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Botafogo-PB can pretend not to have heard.

Words exchanged at Botafogo-PB

Rafael Martins and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Words at Botafogo-PB training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dudu is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

When it matters, Lawan plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Igor Maduro asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager makes Rafael Martins a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Botafogo-PB. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad23 Nov 2026

31 days out for Kayon after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Botafogo-PB will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Lawan, 21, steals the show — 8.04

Marked 8.04 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A move Luiz Fernando would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Luiz Fernando is living that version at Botafogo-PB, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market23 Nov 2026

As if he never left: Sávio returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Sávio is a Botafogo-PB player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Botafogo-PB

Rafael Martins and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces23 Nov 2026

One of their own: Lawan

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match21 Nov 2026

At last: Botafogo-PB win one

5 matches without a win, and then this, against Floresta. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Match21 Nov 2026

Botafogo-PB find a way past Floresta

Floresta made Botafogo-PB work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Péricles gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
