Match26 Sep 2026

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

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Kakaroto arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Kakaroto has, at Parnahyba, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Match26 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Parnahyba against Independência

1‑3 to Independência, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Parnahyba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leozão 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.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Kakaroto

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kakaroto, and the manager let it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

100 appearances for Leozão

100 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

8 new faces, and Parnahyba 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

Rodrygo Braga answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Mateus Rangel

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Match19 Sep 2026

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

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

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

No sign of nerves from Sérgio Gomes at 16 — 8.20

The hardest thing about being 16 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Sérgio Gomes did not need any: 8.20, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Parnahyba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leozão 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.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

Parnahyba supporters have found a favourite in Sérgio Gomes

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 16-year-old it feels ownership of. Sérgio Gomes has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Rafael Broetto

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rafael Broetto, and the manager let it.

Match19 Sep 2026

Maracanã snatch it back from Parnahyba

A goal on 88 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Match19 Sep 2026

Parnahyba share the spoils with Maracanã

A 1‑1 draw with Maracanã leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Half-satisfied: Rodrygo Braga on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A Parnahyba teenager takes the young player award

Sérgio Gomes is 16, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Brabo keeps Parnahyba in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 15 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match15 Aug 2026

A hiding for Parnahyba

Beaten 0‑4 by Imperatriz, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Match12 Aug 2026

Parnahyba out of the cup

Juventude ended it 0‑8. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

A cup hiding at Juventude leaves Parnahyba explaining themselves

0-8, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Match15 Aug 2026

4 matches without a win for Parnahyba

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Parnahyba are no longer polite ones.

Match12 Aug 2026

8 goals as Parnahyba and Juventude go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Parnahyba and Juventude, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match15 Aug 2026

Parnahyba are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Parnahyba 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.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑4 Rodrygo Braga left the room before anybody could ask which.

In brief

  • Player ratings Paulo Moura gives it away
  • Looking ahead Parnahyba take on the side everybody is chasing
  • The dugout The manager has not finished forgetting Paulo Moura's mistake

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Sérgio Gomes could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.27

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.27, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Brabo keeps Parnahyba in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 4 of the 14 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A first appearance Henrique Moura will want to forget — 5.58

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.58, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Match8 Aug 2026

Parnahyba come up short against GAS

GAS left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Brabo joins the Parnahyba first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Brabo 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

Parnahyba promote Victor Mendes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Victor Mendes 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Parnahyba promote Victor Silva from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Victor 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.
