The Goiânia Post

Goiânia refuse to drop out of the race
Position 2, 29 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Sérgio Gomes is carrying Goiânia
19 goals and a season average of 7.30. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Boardroom2 Nov 2026
149% of the income goes out in wages at Goiânia
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.
Looking ahead2 Nov 2026
Goiânia and Portuguesa meet at the summit
The fixture the rest of the division is looking forward to more than either of the sides in it. Both know a win changes the season and a defeat does not end it, which is what makes it hard to play.
