Esporte Clube Bahia is one of the most beloved and successful football institutions in Northeast Brazil. Based in Salvador, Bahia, the club plays at the magnificent Arena Fonte Nova, wearing their iconic blue, red, and white tricolor. Founded in 1931, Bahia's history is rich with triumph, most notably their two Campeonato Brasileiro Série A titles in 1959 and 1988. The latter, known as the "Tetra Bahia" campaign, is legendary, led by stars like Bobô and Charles Fabian, and cemented the club's national stature. In the modern era, Bahia, now backed by the City Football Group, aims to return to the very top of Brazilian football, blending local talent with strategic signings. The club's fan base, known as "Tricolor," is famously passionate and musical, creating one of the most vibrant and colorful atmospheres in world football, a true celebration of Bahian culture.
