Captain Salas – A True Pillar of Baibalaa
Many know him as Solah, but to most in the Baibalaa community, he is better recognized as Salas, or affectionately, Captain Salas. Wearing the captain’s armband for his home team, the legendary BG Sports Club, Salas has become a symbol of leadership, dedication, and passion within the sport.
His contributions go far beyond the ring. Over the years, he has served as a player, a captain, a coach, and a devoted fan, always giving his full heart to Baibalaa. Personally, and on behalf of everyone who supports this page and our website www.baibalaamv.com, I would like to express my deepest gratitude. Without him, this platform and much of the documentation of our sport might not even exist. It all began with a Facebook post where he gathered and shared valuable information about Baibalaa — a simple act that sparked something much bigger. Thank you, Salas.
On the field, Salas is a true all-rounder. Defensively, he often positions himself just behind the wing outside, offering crucial support. When attacking, his style is both effective and uniquely his own — a balance of technique and instinct honed over years of experience.
He holds multiple championship titles to his name and is frequently seen coaching various teams across different tournaments. One of his most iconic moments was in 2006, when he led BG New Generation — the youth team of BG Sports Club — all the way to the finals. That year’s final was especially emotional, as it was BG Sports Club vs. BG New Generation, a true celebration of the club’s legacy.
Beyond BG Sports Club, Salas has continued to make history. In 2019, he captained Kuda Henveiru United to their first-ever championship title. He was also a member of the UN Friends squad when they claimed their first and only title — another testament to his influence and leadership.
Salas, your impact on this sport is immeasurable. Thank you for your ongoing contribution, and we wish you all the best as you continue your journey in Baibalaa. We hope to see many more moments created and inspired by you.
