Lúcio Bala (footballer, born 1955)
Brazilian footballer
Lúcio Alves Pompeu de Campos (born 2 October 1955), better known as Lúcio Bala, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a right winger.
Career
Lúcio played for the children's category of Independente de Várzea Grande, was observed by CE Dom Bosco and invited to the club's professional team. In 1974, due to Dom Bosco's financial problems, he was loaned to Palmeiras EC, a time when he almost abandoned football to work as a taxi driver. Therefore, he ended up being traded to AA Ponte Preta for a low fee, a club where he adapted quickly and became one of the most loved players by the fans. In 1980, his pass was sold to SE Palmeiras, team where little produced. He returned to Campinas, this time at Guarani, and was elected Silver Ball of the Brazilian championship in 1982. He also had a spell at Flamengo where he played 34 games and scored one goal.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lúcio Bala (footballer, born 1955)” as brazilian footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as brazilian footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q121936904. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1955, 1974, 1980 and 1982.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
