Marked for Wendel Passos

Match19 May 2027

Cup progress for Bahia

A 2‑0 win over Barcelona de Ilhéus, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

The dugout24 May 2027

Danilo says Bahia went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market24 May 2027

Nicolás Acevedo 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 Bahia can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings24 May 2027

No sign of nerves from Wendel Passos at 21 — 7.60

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Wendel Passos did not need any: 7.60, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings24 May 2027

Age has not caught Danilo yet — 7.81

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.81 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad24 May 2027

A falling-out at Bahia

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

The terraces24 May 2027

Bahia supporters have found a favourite in Wendel Passos

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Wendel Passos has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match19 May 2027

Barcelona de Ilhéus blown away early

There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Barcelona de Ilhéus tried to reorganise, Bahia did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.

Squad24 May 2027

A row about effort at Bahia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ademir was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The Maricá Courier

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market11 Jan 2027

The unthinkable, invoiced: Denilson sold

Paysandu arrived with $600.0K and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Squad11 Jan 2027

56 days out for Wellington after a fracture

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

The terraces11 Jan 2027

A $600.0K sale, and a town that did not want it

Denilson has gone, the accounts have $600.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Market11 Jan 2027

Caio Vitor asks to leave Maricá

“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.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Wendel Passos due for a Maricá medical

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

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

No thanks: Gustavo Felix rejects the move

Maricá had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Fluminense, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Felipe Carvalho in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Maricá this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad11 Jan 2027

The step up is real for Oliver

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Rafael Forster is slowing down

At 36, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Jean Lucas says Bahia went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Bahia

Jean Lucas was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Bahia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Everton Ribeiro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Caio Alexandre

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Bahia told Caio Alexandre something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Caio Alexandre knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bahia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Nicolás Acevedo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Bahia will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market16 Nov 2026

The Caio Alexandre talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Bahia know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

A reunion for Everton Ribeiro

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Cruzeiro in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Loan watch16 Nov 2026

Alejo Veliz keeps scoring at Rosario Central

11 appearances away from home and 5 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

In brief

  • Looking ahead Home comforts ahead for Bahia
  • Squad Erick is the talk of the training ground
  • Squad Wendel Passos is out on the grass again
