The Campeonato Baiano (English: Baiano Championship), also known as the Baianão (Big Baiano), is the state football league of the Brazilian state of Bahia. The championship has been played since 1905 without interruption and is organized by the Federação Bahiana de Futebol (FBF). 10 clubs contest the Campeonato Baiano, typically from January to April, for the title of state champion.
It is the second-oldest state football championship of Brazil — just behind the Campeonato Paulista, founded in 1902 — and has been played without interruption since 1905. The biggest winner of the competition is Esporte Clube Bahia, with 50 titles won.[1]
