In this Wednesday, the 22nd’s black-and-white match against CRB, midfielder Lucas Mugni will take the field for the third time in the 2026 season, which means the Argentine will reach the milestone of 100 official matches representing the People’s Team.

Mugni arrived at Vozão in 2024, a year in which the goals were to win that year’s Cearense title, a trophy the club had not claimed since 2018, and to return to Brazil’s Série A. In his very first season, he played 46 official matches, scored 3 goals, and provided 10 assists, numbers that proved decisive in securing the state title and promotion.

The following season brought another outstanding performance. In all, he made 51 appearances, scored 4 goals, and added another 10 assists, as well as another Campeonato Cearense title to his record. This year, after a six-month hiatus, the midfielder returned to Vozão for a second spell.

At his introductory press conference, the midfielder spoke about his feelings for the People’s Team and about his return.

“My return here is much more than football for me, it’s everything. First of all, I have tremendous gratitude for this club. I felt a calling to help, and it became very clear to me that coming back here would be the best thing,” he said.

With 100 matches, Mugni is the foreign player with the most official appearances in Vozão’s history. O Mais Querido is also already the club the experienced midfielder has represented the most in his career, a mark he reached in the 1-1 draw with América/MG, when he made his 99th appearance and surpassed the 98 he had for Bahia/BA.
