Feira de Santana football advances as stadium consortium is reinstated

The Feira de Santana football selection secured second place in Group 6 of the 2026 Campeonato Intermunicipal after a 4-1 victory against Santanópolis at the Joia da Princesa stadium. Goals from Gabriel Matos, Iago Sá (two), and Adriano secured the win, advancing the team to the second phase where they will face Capim Grosso in an elimination match.

In administrative news, the Feira de Santana City Hall has reversed a previous disqualification of the Joia da Princesa Consortium, which includes Webfoco Telecomunicações Ltda. and the Fluminense de Feira SAF. Following an administrative appeal and a legal opinion from the Municipal Attorney General's Office, the group is now qualified to compete for the management concession of the Alberto Oliveira stadium. The legal review determined that the SAF was not required to publish its financial statements in official gazettes or large newspapers, as digital publication on the company's website is sufficient under current regulations.
