Football Season Guide

In 2024, Mirassol had a highly successful season, granting promotion to top flight for the first time in their history, by finishing second in Série B last season. Mirassol had an irregular performance in Campeonato Paulista, in 2025. After a great start in the group stage with nothing but wins for the first 5 games, a heavy defeat to São Paulo opened a terrible sequence of bad results that included 5 defeats in a row in the last 5 games. For 2025, Mirassol brought the experienced Walter for goal. Despite a significant new signing, he will face tough competition from Alex Muralha who has been solid for Mirassol in the last 3 years and a big part on the club's recent success. At the back, Alan Empereur is a solid new addition, also coming from Cuiabá. Luiz Otávio has Série A experience, but so do Luiz Otávio, David Braz, Reinaldo and Daniel Borges have. João Victor, at 27, is one of the youngest men for defence. Holding midfielder Roni is the most exciting new name for 2025, as he was a hot prospect for Corinthians just two years ago. Chico Kim, Matheus Sales, Matheus Bianqui and Neto Moura are familiar faces at top flight level, but they were never standouts in their teams while at Série A. Attacking midfielder Gabriel was once a hot prospect for Flamengo; now with 35, he will have a chance to be back at top stages when he was probably thinking that it had gone a long time ago. Clayson , in attack, in an exception to most new signings, as he has been in hot form in recent years. Now, players like Gamalho, Davó, Edson Carioca or Fabrício Daniel will try to make an impact in Série A that they failed to make in other seasons. There's a particular interest about Rafa Silva and Luiz Felipe; the two are coming from long injuries and might have a chance to have regular football now with Mirassol, provided they stay away from more physical mishaps.
