Few teams in Brazilian football have grown as much as Cuiabá. Founded in 2001, Cuiabá is a relatively new football club that has quickly become a strong contender in Brazilian football
This is a recent team, but it has been effectively increasing its popularity step by step.
Last year, Cuiabá’s season was below expectations, yet still surprising. The team has ascended through all the divisions of Brazilian football and is part of the select group of teams that have never been relegated from Serie A. For this season, expectations for Cuiabá are quite high in the championship.
Serie A 2024 Expectations
Even though it is a recent team, the fanbase’s expectations are high. Everyone hopes to see Cuiabá compete in the Libertadores. While it is a challenging achievement, the team could potentially meet these expectations, as it has a relatively strong squad for the competition.
The club’s management is aiming for a spot in the next Sudamericana, a more realistic goal given the club’s conditions. Even without big-name players, Cuiabá is becoming a strong national force, all thanks to excellent management that knows how to keep the team performing well and staying in the elite of Brazilian football.
Transfer Market Movements
In this transfer window, Cuiabá made some strategic investments, bringing in midfielder Lucas Mineiro, Guilherme Madruga, and two center forwards. The team makes very targeted signings for areas that the management and technical team see as necessary, with players who can significantly contribute to the club throughout the season.
As you can see, Cuiabá’s recruitment strategy focuses on young, promising players. The team invests with an eye on future sales, as the board aims to build financial power to compete with the giants of Brazilian football by bringing in significant signings over the years.
Current Situation in the Competition
After a disastrous start in Serie A, Cuiabá is finally regaining control. The team began with many losses and draws, losing six out of the first ten matches. However, recovery was swift, and the team currently holds the 13th spot in the standings, just three points away from the first team in the Sudamericana qualification zone.
Even at the start of the season, Cuiabá is already on a point recovery path. While it is a good team, the lack of standout players means Cuiabá must secure a Sudamericana spot as long as it maintains its current performance and becomes more consistent on the field.
What to Expect from This Season
Cuiabá’s management is focused on future seasons, ensuring the team remains competitive and stays in Brazil’s football elite. Over the years, Cuiabá is expected to grow stronger and will likely become an elite team in Brazilian football.
