Make The Case
Bahia work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Brazil, Arena Fonte Nova, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.
Loaded cabinet
16 distinct honours on record, including shared record. Adopt them and you inherit expectation, which is more fun than it sounds when the trophies keep coming.
Proper ground
Arena Fonte Nova takes roughly 50,025, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
You get a nickname
Known as Tricolor Bahiaço (mix of Bahia and aço, steel) Baêa Maior do Nordeste (Greatest . That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
The calendar you inherit
