John Echavez signs for Confiança while still at Paysandu
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. John Echavez has agreed terms with Confiança for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
Squad10 Aug 2026
JP Galvão 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 Paysandu this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Paysandu promote Monarca from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Monarca 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.

One of our own: João Rocha joins the Paysandu first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. João Rocha is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Márcio Rodrigues steps up from the Paysandu academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Márcio Rodrigues 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: Leonardo Costa joins the Paysandu first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Leonardo Costa is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Paysandu come up short against Cuiabá
Cuiabá left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Match8 Aug 2026
Two points walk out of the ground
Level with 91 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Paysandu had all but put away. Ferroviária will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
Alvinho dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
In brief
- Match Paysandu and Ferroviária take a point apiece
- The dugout The view from the dugout
- Squad Matheus Vargas is off the mark for Paysandu
