‘Bahia in Manchester’ to return for Spurs game | OneFootball

Fans can once again enjoy the vibrant spirit of Bahia thanks to the third edition of our ‘Bahia in Manchester’ celebrations.

There’ll be music, authentic food and special performances outside East Reception ahead of kick-off from 10:00 (UK) on Saturday as we join together with Bahia, a sister CFG club, to help showcase their rich culture.

Pep Guardiola’s men will be aiming for three points to kickstart our home campaign against Tottenham after a brilliant win on the road at Wolves.

But before that, supporters can enjoy a real party mood and carnival atmosphere in the build-up.

Now in its third consecutive season, the Bahia activations celebrate the fusion of English and Brazilian cultures.

It proved hugely popular before our 5-1 win over Fulham in 2023 and 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town in 2024 – so much so that we have brought it back today for this new season.

Previous years have seen the focus on music but this year, ‘Bahia in Manchester’ goes even further, leaning into

Esporte Clube Bahia’s them of ‘Bahia de Todas as Artes’ – or ‘Bahia of All Arts’.

There will be a number of activations on the day, including Capoeira Circles, which will see traditional Brazilian Martial Arts performers showcasing their talents and skills at the Blue Carpet and the external concourse of the Etihad.

At East Reception, fans will have the opportunity to taste the traditional acarajé, take part in quizzes with giveaways, learn about Bahia culture, enjoy photo opportunities, and receive fitinhas - wish ribbons – which are personalised with the City and Bahia crests. They will be given out to offer a meaningful and symbolic souvenir of the day.

For fans, it will be a real feast of colour and sound with plenty of photo opportunities.

Make sure you arrive at the stadium early so you don’t miss out on any of their activities.
