Squad24 Aug 2026

A fracture rules Matheus Vargas out for 104 days

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

Match22 Aug 2026

Paysandu strike at the death to beat ABC

There were 86 minutes on the clock and ABC had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Paysandu did not stop to explain themselves.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Kleiton Pego scores twice — 8.80

Two goals and a mark of 8.80 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Zé Henrique turns down Paysandu

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Paysandu

Darlan Mendes 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Edílson Júnior beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match22 Aug 2026

Kleiton Pego sends Paysandu past ABC

It finished 2‑1, and it was Kleiton Pego’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Paysandu.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Paysandu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Márcio Júnior 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 dugout24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Igor Neves

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

A fracture rules Matheus Vargas out for 111 days

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

Match12 Aug 2026

Paysandu bow out of the cup

Santos go through and Paysandu go home, 2‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad17 Aug 2026

8 saves: Jean Drosny was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Darlan Mendes 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. Darlan Mendes has, at Paysandu, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Pablo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Paysandu

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

Match15 Aug 2026

Santa Cruz take the points off Paysandu

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Ítalo at his very best

Marked 8.32. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Paysandu.

Market17 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Paysandu and Darlan Mendes

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

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad10 Aug 2026

Matheus Vargas breaks a bone — 120 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 120 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match8 Aug 2026

Paysandu strike at the death to beat Boa

There were 87 minutes on the clock and Boa had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Paysandu did not stop to explain themselves.

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.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Pablo

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market10 Aug 2026

Paysandu promote Lucas Braga from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Lucas Braga 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

Juninho steps up from the Paysandu academy

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

One of our own: Caio Pereira joins the Paysandu first team

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

Paysandu promote Renato Mendes from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Renato 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.

Match8 Aug 2026

Pablo the difference as Paysandu beat Boa

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Pablo. 1‑0 against Boa, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market3 Aug 2026

Paysandu turn down Tammeka for Gabriel Mesquita

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Edílson Júnior signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Edílson Júnior commits to Paysandu for another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Paysandu

JP Galvão was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Paysandu

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Márcio Júnior was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market3 Aug 2026

Paysandu and Jean Drosny are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad3 Aug 2026

No place for Igor Neves in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Paysandu are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
