Flamengo has been the football team with the highest attendance in Brazil for years. With the support of the fans and a series of titles won in recent years, the team is managing to reduce its debt considerably.
It has been known for a long time that the Flamengo fans are one of the biggest in the world. In a recent survey, conducted by the AtlasIntel institute, Flamengo continues to have the biggest crowd in Brazil, with 21.9% of the population's preference. With this large number of fans, the sale of official team items (such as clothing, for example) and game tickets is also huge.
In 2022, with ticket sales alone, Mais Querido raised around 101 million reais. In comparison, that same year, Flamengo got five times this amount, 500 million reais, with broadcast rights and prizes. The ti+p of profit that Fla achieves on behalf of the Nation is incomparable in national terms.
In recent years, Flamengo has been reducing debts and increasing cash income. Last season, Mengão won the Libertadores of America and Copa do Brasil titles. The achievements came to add to the public collection, along with Pay-per-view income.
These numbers also helped the team from Rio de Janeiro to reduce the debt from R$ 450 million to R$ 327 million, between the years 2021 and 2022. It is currently estimated that this amount is around R$ 300 million. However, as the cash value is around R$ 240 million, the scenario is quite favorable.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.

Flamengo is alive in three competitions this season not only because it has a great squad, but also because of the strength of its fans. In the Brasileirão, the Nation was present in the 24 rounds at home and away. In addition to being the home team that attracts the most paying audiences, Mais Querido is the hottest visitor, being the team that guaranteed the highest grossing in away matches against six clubs.
According to the survey carried out by GE , Flamengo's biggest attendance game was against Criciúma. However, the confrontation was held at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília. Mais Querido won by a score of 2 to 1 and registered an audience of 60,127 fans.
The biggest revenue in the Brasileirão also comes from Rubro-Negro: R$ 39,231,384 in income. In 12 games played as home team, Mais Querido's average attendance is 49,868 fans.
Mais Querido also attracts an audience working outside the home. This is because Mengo was involved in the highest-grossing clashes outside God's domains: against São Paulo, Fluminense, Athletico-PR, Vasco, Atletico-GO and Bragantino. Against the São Paulo team, the audience was 58,065. In Fla-Flu, 52,507. Vasco, Atletico-GO and Bragantino against Rubro-Negro had 54,552, 31,627 and 9,858 fans.
So, with the expectation of once again being part of the biggest audience in the Brasileirão, Mais Querido is preparing to face Corinthians, at the Neo Química Arena, this Sunday (1), at 4pm. All tickets for the match are sold out.
