Match14 Dec 2026

Retrô are in real trouble now

Position 20, 12 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

Retrô agree $500.0K for Samuel Amaral

The clubs have shaken hands with Goianésia; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Boardroom14 Dec 2026

Retrô go back to the board over Igor Carvalho

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $70.1K — a club that wants Igor Carvalho enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

Retrô bid $58.0K for Igor Carvalho

The offer went to Ferroviária this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Rafael França 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 Retrô this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces14 Dec 2026

Retrô spend $73.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $73.0K for Ryan Santos, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words at Retrô training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. João Marcos 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.

Market14 Dec 2026

Retrô promote Sérgio Alves from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sérgio Alves 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.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Handerson is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Back issues

The Água Santa Gazette

14 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad14 Dec 2026

The knee: Vitinho out for 55 days

55 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Água Santa lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A fracture rules Thiago Gigena out for 57 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Água Santa will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market14 Dec 2026

Diego Anjos agrees terms with Goianésia

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Água Santa people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The terraces14 Dec 2026

Supporters turn on the $1.1M sale of Richard

He is going to Botafogo, the club has $1.1M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

Jorge due for a Água Santa medical

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

Market14 Dec 2026

Richard moves on

Botafogo pay $1.1M, 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

Willian Bahia is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Água Santa will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Squad14 Dec 2026

9 clean sheets and the golden glove for Luís Carlos

The one award on the pitch nobody else can win. 9 games in a season in which nobody scored past him, and a career that will be measured against this one.

Market14 Dec 2026

Água Santa sell Ryan Santos for $73.0K

Ryan Santos has left for Retrô in a $73.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

The Água Santa Gazette

17 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match15 Aug 2026

Levi leads the rout of Porto Vitória

7‑0, and Levi took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Água Santa tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad17 Aug 2026

4 goals for Levi

The match ball belongs to Levi, whose 4 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match12 Aug 2026

Água Santa march on in the cup

Ypiranga are out and Água Santa go through, 3‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Richard scores twice — 8.49

Two goals and a mark of 8.49 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ryan Santos, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.83

A mark of 7.83 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Villian pops up at the right end — 7.40

7.40, 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Água Santa

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

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Levi at his very best

Marked 10.00. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Água Santa.

Match15 Aug 2026

Levi among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Levi on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Água Santa and Porto Vitória.
