Translation: Bahia Sports Club. Salvador is the principal city in the state of Bahia. Formed on January 1, 1931 by the merger of Associação Atlética da Bahia and Clube Bahiano de Tênis. These two clubs had both recently ended their football sections. The clubs colors (blue, white and red) symbolize, respectively, Associação Atlética da Bahia, Clube Bahiano de Tênis and the State of Bahia. The flag in the club's emblem is that of the state of Bahia. The derby with the great rival Vitória is called the Ba-Vi. The stadium's official name is that of a former state governor. It is located on Ladeira das Fontes das Pedras (Slope of the Source of the Rocks) street and has thus acquired the nickname Fonte Nova (New Source).
