Fourth and fighting
A scrappy 1-0 over Avaí isn't pretty, but nobody's complaining about three points in September. Fortaleza closes the round fourth in Série B with 47 from 27 games, still glued to the promotion pack. The attack needs sharpening — the stubbornness is already there.
Clássico-Rei at home
Today it's Clássico-Rei, at home, and nobody needs a warm-up speech: Fortaleza against Ceará is worth far more than three league points. Win it and the Leão jumps straight into the promotion argument — plus the neighbors stay quiet for a full week. Packing the stands isn't optional.
Signings and sponsor
Busy day off the pitch: Jailson signed through December 2026 and says he's ready to cover more than one role, while striker Chico da Costa arrived talking about 'the best references' he's heard about the club. On top of that, Mercadão São Luiz came aboard as sponsor until 2027. Squad and bank account, same afternoon.
