“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Matheus Nunes commits to Operário-MS for another 4 years.

Match

Operário-MS see off Cascavel

Three points for Operário-MS, 2‑0 the final word against Cascavel in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Diego Cavalcante steps up from the Operário-MS academy

Operário-MS promote Rafael Moura from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Rafael Moura 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.
