Match22 Aug 2026

Volta Redonda tear Amazonas apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 10‑0 against Amazonas, and it could have been more.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A day Patrick will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

David Braga scores twice — 8.25

Two goals and a mark of 8.25 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A brace, and Marcos Vinicius takes the afternoon — 8.07

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Marcos Vinicius provided it, and the 8.07 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move David Braga 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. David Braga is living that version at Volta Redonda, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Léo Andrade goes up and wins it — 7.69

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.69 for the rest of it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Patrick among the goals in a wild afternoon

10 goals in one match, Patrick on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Volta Redonda and Amazonas.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Volta Redonda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Novaes 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Volta Redonda

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

The Volta Redonda Post

17 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match12 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Volta Redonda

A 3‑0 win over Central, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match15 Aug 2026

Volta Redonda taken apart

0‑4 to Coritiba, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Deivity stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Heliardo yet — 7.85

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.85 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Adsson pops up at the right end — 7.30

7.30, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

David Braga due for a Volta Redonda medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Volta Redonda

Gabriel Novaes 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.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Volta Redonda beat the market to Louback from Atlético Mineiro

Atlético Mineiro will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Louback has pre-agreed a move to Volta Redonda, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Kauã Ubá

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief
