St James Park rocked to the beat of a Samba band as Exeter City Football Club celebrated its unique partnership with Brazil this weekend.

The League One club was the first team to ever play the national Brazil side – and thanks to some sterling work by the club’s museum team in uncovering the details of that tour in 1914 – the club celebrates and continues to build on its links.

This Saturday’s match against Bolton Wanderers was designated a Brazilian themed day to commemorate that link – and everything from the matchday music to the food served in hospitality got the South...

Exeter City fancied to keep rolling against Forest Green

Exeter City host Forest Green Rovers on October 12 aiming to continue their excellent start to the League Two season.
