The Deliberative Council of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo announced this Tuesday the call for an extraordinary meeting for April 1st. The main objective will be to vote on the sponsorship agreement proposed by Banco de Brasília (BRB), which provides for the brand's exposure on the "shoulder" property of the uniforms of several of the club's teams for a period of 24 months, the equivalent of two years.
AGREEMENT ALMOST FINALIZED
This agreement, if approved, will cover not only the men's professional soccer team, but also the women's professional football, as well as men's and women's youth teams, in the Under-17 and Under-20 categories. Flamengo, known for its greatness and its fervent fan base, is constantly looking for partnerships that strengthen its financial structure and its competitiveness on the national and international sporting scene.
This agreement with BRB represents another opportunity for the club to expand its presence in the market and invest in its growth and development. Banco de Brasília, in turn, seeks through this partnership to expand its visibility and reach, taking advantage of the great exposure provided by Flamengo, one of the biggest and most popular football teams in Brazil. This association can open doors to new business opportunities and strengthen BRB's brand in the sporting scene.
It is worth highlighting that the sponsorship proposal comes at a crucial time for Flamengo, which seeks to maintain its hegemony on the national stage and win important titles. The club has invested heavily in its structure and in notable signings, and partnerships like this are essential to make such investments viable.
In addition, Flamengo has a rich history of athletes who marked an era, both in Brazil as abroad. An emblematic example is Zico, the ultimate idol of the Red and Black fans, who shone on the pitch and left an unparalleled legacy for the club. Names like Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Adriano Imperador and many others also left their mark on Flamengo's history, contributing to the construction of one of the greatest traditions in Brazilian football.

Flamengo's last transfer window made history . After criticism from fans for previous timid moves, the board responded with significant reinforcements for the squad led by Filipe Luís . The club's performance in the transfer market was so remarkable that it earned praise from André Rizek, who compared the club's move to other iconic transfers in Brazilian football.
Rizek on Flamengo's 2025 market: "It surpasses Botafogo's last year"
In a video published by ge, the journalist highlighted that Mais Querido made the most impactful move among the Serie A clubs . In Rizek's assessment, Flamengo brought in five players from the national team, although he considers Carrascal and Emerson Royal to be slightly below the others.
Rizek was adamant that Flamengo 's 2025 transfer window surpasses that of 2019, when the board signed Rafinha, Gerson, and Filipe Luís to bolster Jorge Jesus' squad. Even Botafogo's high-profile 2024 signings, including Vitinho, Alex Telles, Almada, and Igor Jesus, are behind , he said.
"I think it's the most impressive in the history of the points system. It surpasses 2019, when they brought in Rafinha, Gerson, and Filipe Luís mid-season. And it surpasses Botafogo's last year. This window improves what was already very good: Flamengo . Combining the package that arrived and what they already had, Flamengo is very strong, and I can't see anything similar to what Flamengo has done this year," analyzed the commentator.
The journalist also teased the competition: "The other clubs have two paths: they can simply look at Flamengo's investment power and say, ' Patience, those guys have a lot of money ,' or they can rush to get there. Which path will your club choose?"
The window closed last Tuesday (2) and, for Flamengo, the result was historic. In addition to the quality of the names, the board showed efficiency in bringing in important players at reduced costs or even without direct investment.
Main arrivals:
It's worth remembering that the club had already signed Jorginho during the special window for the Club World Cup , making the cycle even more memorable. In total, Flamengo invested R$277 million, the largest amount in the club's history in a single window.
Mengão is still in the Copa Libertadores and the commentator sees a good chance of reaching the decisive match, but avoids projections.

Felipe Melo believes the second half of the Brazilian Championship still holds many surprises . Even with Flamengo leading and relying solely on itself to win the title, the former player emphasized that the race remains fierce: " I don't have a crystal ball. As for who will be champion ... I think it will be between these clubs."
Felipe Melo on projecting Flamengo or Palmeiras as Brazilian champions: "I don't really like that"
For him, Palmeiras and Cruzeiro are firmly in contention, while Botafogo could also surprise. According to Melo, the champion will likely be determined only in the final round: " They're the league leaders, fighting for the top of the table , they're the best teams and they play the best football."
Felipe Melo avoided naming a big favorite, preferring to leave the possibilities open: “ It’s difficult, I don’t think it will escape these three clubs , but to say that Flamengo will be champion, that Palmeiras will be champion… I don’t really like that.”
Still, he reinforced that Botafogo can enter the competition and keep the excitement going until the end of the competition: " Flamengo , Palmeiras and Cruzeiro will fight until the end. Suddenly, Botafogo could arrive, they have a good team ."
In addition to the Brasileirão, Felipe Melo also commented on the Copa Libertadores. The former player believes Flamengo has every chance of reaching the final , while on the other side of the bracket, the odds are more even.
"On Flamengo's side, Flamengo has every chance of reaching the final . On the other hand, Palmeiras and São Paulo could face off in a semifinal... it's Palmeiras, São Paulo, and River Plate. I think Palmeiras could even beat River. I'll speak from the heart: I'm a Palmeiras fan."
Amarelinha takes to the field at Maracanã this Thursday (4) and will have a game ahead to consolidate Ancelotti's work against La Roja

The 17th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers holds strong emotions, especially for Flamengo fans . This Thursday (4), Brazil and Chile face each other at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time). One of the names that could gain prominence is striker Samuel Lino , called up to represent the Brazilian National Team.
The match will be broadcast on Globo, on free-to-air television , with commentary by Luis Roberto and Caio Ribeiro and Roger Flores. On SporTV, on a cable channel, the commentary will be by Luiz Carlos Júnior, with commentary by Lédio Carmona and Paulo Nunes.
Brazil: Alisson; Wesley, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães; Estevão, Raphinha, Gabriel Martinelli and João Pedro.
Chile: Vigouroux; Hormazabal, Paulo Díaz, Maripán and Suazo; Echeverría, Ignacio Saavedra and Cabral; Osorio, Aravena and Brereton.
A Flamengo recruit, right-back Wesley is competing for a spot with Monaco's Vanderson (FRA). In Carlo Ancelotti's first two matches under management, against Ecuador and Paraguay, Vanderson was the starter. However, after his recent transfer to Roma (ITA), Wesley has started to gain ground and could change the national team's trajectory .
The Brazilian national team, managed by Italian Carlo Ancelotti, has already secured an early spot for the 2026 World Cup . As a result, the last two rounds of the qualifiers will serve as testing grounds for new names in the squad.
Meanwhile, Chile arrives with no chance of qualifying and under the leadership of Nicolás Córdova , who left out some of the key players from the winning generation of the last decade. Thus, the duel at Maracanã will be marked by different, yet equally significant, circumstances for both teams.
