Bahia has secured its place in the group stage of the CONMEBOL Libertadores for the first time in 36 years, defeating Boston River 1-0 in the second leg of the third qualifying round at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador. The decisive goal was scored by Jean Lucas in the second half, assisted by Luciano Juba, following a goalless draw in the first leg in Uruguay. Coach Rogério Ceni praised the team's resilience over the past 14 months, highlighting the journey from narrowly avoiding relegation in 2023 to securing a spot in the prestigious tournament. Ceni noted that Bahia is now among the top seven teams in Brazil capable of representing the country in the Libertadores. With Bahia's qualification, all 32 teams for the group stage of the Libertadores are now confirmed. The draw for the group stage is scheduled for Monday, March 17. Bahia will be placed in Pot 4 alongside other teams that advanced through the qualifying rounds. Ceni emphasized the importance of the draw, stating that advancing from Pot 4 will be challenging due to the nature of the group stage format.
