The Campeonato Baiano (English: Baiano Championship), also known as the Baianão (English: "Big Bahian" or "Great Bahian"), is the top-flight professional state football league in the Brazilian state of Bahia. Run by the Bahia Football Federation (FBF), 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]
