Arena Fonte Nova: Bahia matches & tickets

Opened in 2013, Arena Fonte Nova is Bahia’s ground in Salvador, not far from the city’s historic centre. It replaced the old Fonte Nova and kept the name, so there is still a strong sense of local identity around the place. Bahia is one of Brazil’s traditional clubs, and Serie A nights here tend to be loud, emotional, and very local in feel. It is a straightforward trip from central Salvador, with the lake and old city nearby adding to the sense that you are in a proper urban football setting.
