Everton Ribeiro, 37, rolls back the years — 8.27

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.27 at 37, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jean Lucas stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jean Lucas and Bahia agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Saymon has agreed to leave Bahia for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Bahia

Jean Lucas 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Everaldo sends Bahia past São Paulo

It finished 2‑0, and it was Everaldo’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Bahia.

André Cunha steps up from the Bahia academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. André Cunha has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Mateus Braga joins the Bahia first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mateus Braga is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bahia promote Bicho from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bicho has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Vinícius Nardo steps up from the Bahia academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Vinícius Nardo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief

The Sousa Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match8 Aug 2026

Rafael Chorão’s goal not enough for Sousa

Rafael Chorão scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Central, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Sousa agree a free transfer for Saymon

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Sousa promote Fernando Oliveira from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Fernando Oliveira has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Hebert Cristian 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.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Hebert Cristian 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Natalício 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 Sousa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
