Flamengo and eight other clubs requested the suspension of the Brazilian Championship during the Copa América, due to team absences during the national team tournament. However, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), on Thursday night (29), rejected the request. The entity issued a note explaining the reasons.
SEE THE CBF NOTE:
The Brazilian Confederation of Football (CBF), in response to the letter sent on February 15 by Serie A clubs, requesting changes to the 2024 National Men's Football Calendar, due to the 48th edition of the Copa América de Seleções, is hereby publicly providing the necessary clarifications.
The entity appreciates and considers this broad and permanent dialogue between Clubs, Federations and CBF essential for the improvement and development of the Calendar and of all Brazilian Football and its competitions. The preparation of the Brazilian competition calendar is extremely complex, needing to be adequate and harmonized with the calendars published by FIFA and CONMEBOL, and also with specific requirements of Brazilian legislation (Lei Pelé and Lei Geral do Esporte).
Upon receiving the proposal and out of respect for those involved, CBF immediately activated different internal areas of the entity to carry out studies and simulations, which takes time. It also consulted the commercial partners involved in the competition, including the main company holding the broadcasting rights to Série A of the Copa do Brasil.
The calendar for the 2024 men's football competitions was released in October 2023 , four months ago, and managed, for the second consecutive year, to avoid conflicts with FIFA dates, thus honoring the commitment to its affiliates and clubs.
Thus, in response to the request from the Series Clubs A, we highlight the following points:
The clubs did not consider changing the dispute model for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup (Club World Cup). Teams from South America, to reach the final, will have to play three matches, unlike previous years. If the winner of the Copa Libertadores is a Brazilian team, which has occurred in the last five editions, and if the club is also a finalist in the 2024 Copa do Brasil, the proposal presented would not be viable;
The Copa do Brasil 2024, there would be an interval of 4 (four) months between the quarter-finals and the semi-finals, which generates a profound loss of interest among spectators, devaluing the competition and potentially causing losses to clubs, sponsors and rights holders;
There would be damage to the dynamics of the competitions as it would result in an interval of practically a month between rounds of Series A of the Brazilian Championship;
The CBF took great care to consult the main company that holds the rights broadcasting of Série A and the Copa do Brasil. Unfortunately, the intended change directly affects the fulfillment of the contracts, as well as the contracts signed with the sponsors who did all the planning based on the dates previously announced by the CBF;
The proposal to change the 2024 calendar was sent after the start of several state and regional championships and on the eve of the start of the 1st phase of the Copa do Brasil, which could generate uneven adjustments that would not involve the entire national football calendar and all its competitions;
< The change would result in the extension of the season for 2 (two) clubs, impacting defined vacation dates for athletes and coaching staff, which could lead to serious problems involving labor rights, and would generate impacts for the 2025 Calendar;
In the proposal presented, the round of 16 and quarter-final stages would take place exactly during the Copa América 2024, with the clubs equally missing, but in a championship with knockout stages and with high financial prizes;
< br>
In view of these and other reasons set out in full in the attached letter, the CBF informs that it is not possible to accept the request to change the 2024 calendar. However, it remains open to dialogue, as has always happened, to discuss broadly with Federations, Clubs, partners and athletes the improvement of competitions and the national calendar.

Uruguay secured a direct spot in the 2026 World Cup by beating Peru 3-0 this Thursday (04). One of the big names in the match was Arrascaeta , Flamengo's number 10, who participated in the first goal and also left his mark . The performance was highlighted in the Uruguayan newspaper El País, which praised the red-black midfielder.
El País on Flamengo's Arrascaeta: "He directly influences Uruguay's performance"
"Giorgian de Arrascaeta was the star, not only for the goal, but for his constant involvement in the attack, something rarely seen before. On several occasions, La Celeste used the central corridor, while he moved to appear free and receive the ball at an advantage," the publication reported.
The analysis also highlighted the midfielder's impact on the national team: "Having Flamengo 's number 10 in great form—with 31 goal contributions in 46 games in 2025—directly influences Uruguay's performance. He took several chances before being rewarded with the goal 12 minutes into the second half."
Arrascaeta, a starter in the match, initiated the play that led to Rodrigo Aguirre's goal in the 14th minute of the first half. In the second half, he capitalized on a cross from Varela, also of Flamengo , and scored a stunning goal to extend the lead . In the final minutes, Viñas completed the victory for La Celeste.
Having one of the best seasons of his career, the midfielder has made 46 appearances this year, scoring 19 goals and providing 13 assists , including appearances for Flamengo and the Uruguayan national team. His goal now is to maintain his high level to be on the squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Arrascaeta and his teammates return to the field next Tuesday (09), at 8 pm (Brasília time), against Chile, at the National Stadium, in Santiago, for the 18th round of the Qualifiers. The star should be available to coach Filipe Luís next Sunday (14), when Flamengo faces Juventude for the Brasileirão.

Saturday (6) was a day of preparation at Ninho do Urubu during the FIFA break. During the training, coach Filipe Luís received great news : Jorginho completed the second consecutive day of training on the field and should be available for the next match.
The Italian-Brazilian was absent from the team in recent rounds after feeling pain in his thigh during the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória. After being rested against Grêmio, he returned to training normally this week and is cleared to face Juventude, next Sunday (14), in the Brasileirão.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo is also awaiting the recovery of Alex Sandro . The full-back suffered a left calf injury in the first half against Vitória and did not play in the 1-1 draw against Grêmio at Maracanã.
Since then, he has been undergoing intensive treatment in the medical department. The FIFA World Cup break is expected to help his progress, but his appearance against Juventude still depends on his response in the coming days.
Flamengo leads the championship and returns to action on September 14th at 4 pm (Brasília time) against Juventude in Caxias do Sul. Their opponents are in 18th place with 21 points from 21 matches and are fighting to escape the relegation zone.

The weekend will be decisive for the Série D of the Brazilian Championship: the four clubs that will gain access to the Third Division will be known. One of the duels takes place this Saturday (06), at 4 pm (Brasília time), between Barra-SC and Cianorte-PR , in Santa Catarina. On the Paraná side, the main reference is a name very familiar to Flamengo fans : Hernane Brocador.
Hernane Brocador, ex-Flamengo, on the decisive duel in Série D: "I believe everything will work out"
Cianorte has never played in Série C and is one game away from a historic feat. In the first leg, in Paraná, the teams drew 0-0, leaving everything open . Even playing away from home, Hernane, 39, remains confident of promotion.
"We're going to the long-awaited match, which is promotion. I believe everything will go well. I'll have something extra in my career. I said I'd come here to win promotion, but when you achieve that first step, you strive for even more . Titles and promotions make an athlete great," the striker told ge.
Signed mid-year, Hernane has nine appearances and one goal for the club. He's expected to start the decision on the bench, but his experience remains an asset for coach Rafael Ferro. "Ferro made it clear that if I see something, I should pass it on to him and help. It's his first job, and he's subject to trial and error . We always want to play, but we understand the importance of having an experienced player in the squad to serve as a role model for the younger players," commented the center forward.
Hernane plans to retire in 2026 and is already studying to become a coach. Until then, he aims to add to his list of achievements. Despite having played for several clubs, the striker left his mark on Flamengo , where he won the 2013 Copa do Brasil and the 2014 Carioca Championship. With the Manto, he played 86 matches and scored 45 goals.
