In Wednesday’s black-and-white match, the 22nd, 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 Team of the People.

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

The following season brought another great performance. In all, there were 51 matches, 4 goals, and another 10 assists, as well as another Campeonato Cearense title to his name. This year, after a six-month break, the midfielder returned to Vozão for a second spell.

At his introductory press conference, the midfielder spoke about what the Team of the People means to him and about his return.

“My return here is much more than football for me; it’s everything as a whole. First of all, I have immense 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 becomes 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 milestone 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.
