Match26 Sep 2026

Nowhere to hide for Humaitá

0‑3 against Tuna Luso, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Mario Contreras

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Danilo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market28 Sep 2026

Careca puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Humaitá, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match26 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Humaitá's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Humaitá has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Luã Niger 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.

Boardroom28 Sep 2026

Inquest at Humaitá

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad28 Sep 2026

11 new faces, and Humaitá are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Pedro Rangel to a room that had heard them before.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Humaitá

Luã Niger 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

David stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David and Humaitá agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market7 Sep 2026

Flávio already looking beyond Humaitá

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Douglas Lukaku is a square peg at Humaitá

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market7 Sep 2026

Still no ink between Humaitá and Hassen

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Humaitá, another week without a signature from Hassen.

Market7 Sep 2026

Humaitá buy the years ahead of Danilo

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

In brief

  • Squad A place in the month's best eleven for Careca
  • Looking ahead David faces his old club
  • Market David joins Humaitá to strengthen the squad
  • Looking ahead Home comforts ahead for Humaitá

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad10 Aug 2026

Pedro Santos stands alone

23 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match8 Aug 2026

Humaitá taken apart

1‑7 to Independência, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 4 of the 12 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Match8 Aug 2026

Romário among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Romário on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Humaitá and Independência.

Market10 Aug 2026

Éder Barbosa steps up from the Humaitá academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Éder Barbosa 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Humaitá promote Fábio Moura from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Fábio 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.

Careca steps up from the Humaitá academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Careca 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.

Humaitá promote Danilo Silva from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Danilo Silva 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.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Humaitá dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Player ratings One moment undoes Romário
  • Squad A first senior shirt for Fábio Moura
