HISTORY OF GAMES INTERNATIONAL
In 1957, the Bahia made a European tour, playing 29 matches. The
tricolor faced the biggest rival Shakhtar, Dynamo Kiev. The Ukrainian
team won 3 to 1. As early as 1960, in another trip to the mainland, again
faced the Dynamo and was defeated by 4-1.
The first time the Bahia played an international tournament was in 1960.
As the tricolor won the 1959 Brazil Cup, the first Brazilian champion in
history, had the honor to represent Brazil in the first Copa Libertadores
in 1960.
In this edition, the Tricolor faced the San Lorenzo of Argentina and was
also eliminated in the first round, losing 3-0 in Almagro and winning by
3-2 in Salvador.
Three years later, in 1964, the Bahia again played in the World Cup, this
time for being Brazilian runner-up in 1963, losing to Santos of Pelé,
Coutinho and Pepe in the final of the national tournament. Again the
Tricolor was eliminated in the first round, this time to Deportivo Italia.
After being Brazilian champion in 1988, the Bahia played in the
Libertadores for the third time in its history. In the first phase, the
Tricolor formed the Group 2 along with Deportivo Táchira and Marítimo,
Venezuela, in addition to Internacional de Porto Alegre, Brazil. In the
8th-finals, the Tricolor eliminated the Universitario of Peru and again
faced the Internacional, this time in the quarterfinals. In the first game,
in Porto Alegre, lost 1-0, and in the return game tied for 0-0, and
eliminated from the competition.
In 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Tricolor returned to acting in international
tournaments, playing the Copa Sudamericana.
In 2015, Bahia played a friendly game against Shakhtar Donetsk
(Ukrania) at Arena Fonte Nova. Bahia won the game for 3-2 scored by
Rômulo, midfield, and Zé Roberto, forward (2).

REMEMBER 1964
Play out of the country, specifically in North America like will be the
friendly game next Saturday against Orlando City, is not a new
experience for Esporte Clube Bahia.
BIG ROBOT
Highlight friendly against Santos, who opened the season 2016
Esquadrão in January, with repercussions throughout Brazil, the big
robot Tricolor already has a date for a new appearance.
In 1964 the Tricolor disputed a competition in USA, the ISL (International
Soccer League). This tournament existed for 5 years, from 1960 until
1965 and included teams from various continents. The format of that
competition was similar to the current FIFA World Club.
This time, he demonstrated all his swagger in the land of Uncle Sam.
The "Esquadrão" played six matches and faced teams like the Wender
Bremen, from Germany, and the Blackburn, from England.
That's it. The big robot will be in the United States, along with the
Bahia delegation to attend the international friendly against Orlando
City on Saturday (27) at the stadium Citrus Browl.
The forward Hamilton, third top scorer in the club history, was one of the
lineups of that team. That was the first time that a shirt completely red
with blue details was dressed.
That's it. The big robot goes to the United States, along with the
Bahia delegation to attend the international friendly against Orlando
City on Saturday (27) at the stadium Citrus Browl.
This is one of the marketing efforts that are being prepared for
market management and marketing Esquadrão.
CLAUDIA LEITTE
Claudia Leitte will be there too! The famous Brazilian singer, known as a
truly Bahia's supporter, will kick off for the friendly game.
Beyond that, Claudia Leitte will sing your new single called ''Coraz'on''
sing in Spanish.
She has millions of fans around the world singing axé music, a typical
rhythm from Bahia.
The singer is a close friend of the football player Kaká and everywhere
she goes, she shows her love for Bahia.
EMBASSY
The “Embaixada (Embassy) Tricolor Baheua”, was founded in 2012 by
Douglas Verli in Miami-FL. In 2016, Douglas and Paul Franco from
Orlando, FL, decided to unify the Embassy in order to embrace the same
supporters of the two main cities in Florida: Miami and Orlando.
With that said, they intended not only to form a group of fans gathered
outside of Brazil but to integrate partners of the club and help attract new
members including promotional activities of E.C.Bahia in the United
States, and strengthen the internationalization of the club’s brand.
Ready to support the “Steel Squad” on Saturday, February 27th against
Orlando City in the city of Orlando -FL, Douglas Verli and Paul Franco are
promising to make a beautiful party with all the “tricolor” fans that are
going to the Citrus Bowl Stadium to cheer their team and celebrate this
great game. It is estimated that more than 100 people will be present at
this great party!
