The Bahia Courier
Boardroom14 Dec 2026
Continental nights are coming to Bahia
Qualification is secured, and next season the big floodlit nights are continental ones. For the players it is a stage; for the accounts it is a lifeline; for the supporters it is passports.
Market14 Dec 2026
Santiago Ramos Mingo asks to leave Bahia
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Market14 Dec 2026
Santa Cruz come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Bahia did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market14 Dec 2026
Kanu moves on
America Mineiro pay $2.2M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Rodrigo Nestor signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rodrigo Nestor commits to Bahia for another 4 years.
Market14 Dec 2026
Victor Hugo moves on
Santa Cruz pay $77.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
Match12 Dec 2026
Fluminense take the points off Bahia
Beaten 1-2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad14 Dec 2026
João Paulo 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.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Jean Lucas has company in his position
The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Jean Lucas keeps the shirt for now, at Bahia's convenience rather than his own.
