The dream of our own stadium is starting to come to fruition, and Gasologista land will be auctioned on July 31st, at 2:30 pm (Brasília time). This is when Flamengo must offer the minimum bid of R$138 million to secure the location.
But the auction notice, which came out a few days after the Decree by Eduardo Paes (PSD) that expropriated the land, showed several requirements to be met so that the club can build its stadium on the site. One of them involves capacity.
The capacity of the stadium on the Gasometer ground must be for at least 70 thousand people. In other words, approximately what Flamengo currently offers for sale at Maracanã games. But this is just a base, and the stadium cannot have anything less than that. The 80,000 seats, initially imagined by Rodolfo Landim, could still happen.
This is what federal deputy Pedro Paulo (PSD) indicates, a flamenco fan who was also at the forefront of trying to make the Gasometer land viable for the Flamengo. An ally of Eduardo Paes, Pedro Paulo gave the following explanation:
“We have established the minimum criteria. The 70 thousand seats are a reference to guide the bidding. Nothing prevents the stadium from having a capacity of 80 thousand. The convention center is an idea that can be part of the project. It is not prohibited. The final project will be detailed up front by whoever wins the auction”, explains the politician.
If it buys land, Flamengo should open a stadium by 2029
The notice also provides for other very important points, such as the schedule and deadlines for the bidder to complete the plans. After the purchase, Flamengo must complete the final project within a year and a half.
In addition, it will be three years after obtaining the licenses for the works. Thus, totaling four and a half years. This means that Rubro-Negro would be inaugurating its new stadium, at the latest, in 2029.
The details are given in the following excerpt from the notice: “The project, to be presented within 18 months from the date of date of signature of the Purchase and Sale Promise Term, and executed within up to 36 months extendable in accordance with the law, counting from its licensing, it must be prepared preferably in three stages: Needs Program, Cost Estimate and Physical Schedule and Presentation of Technical Documentation.”
Rodolfo Landim has already confirmed that he wants a stadium for 80 thousand
Flamengo President, Rodolfo Landim already spoke about the topic in April, at GE, and confirmed that the desire is to build a stadium for 80 thousand fans.
“Yes it is (it is possible to place a stadium for 80 thousand people in an area of 87 thousand m²). We have already created a preliminary project for the placement of this stadium. It would still give us the chance to create a large square in front. Around this square, we could put a series of restaurants, spots and so on. In this square, we could even put up big screens for those who don't have the means to go to the big games or for those who can't get tickets”, he comments.

Flamengo's fans continue to impress world football's biggest names . In 2019, Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk came face-to-face with the might of the Red-Black Nation at the FIFA Club World Cup final in Qatar. The atmosphere of that match left a lasting impression on the Dutch defender.
Liverpool's Van Dijk on Flamengo: "Their fans were incredible"
In an interview with TNT Sports, Van Dijk was asked about his knowledge of Brazilian football. The topic arose because striker Memphis Depay , a player for Corinthians and the Dutch national team, frequently talks to the defender about Brazil.
"I know very well the passion Brazilian fans have for their teams. We faced Flamengo in the Club World Cup in Qatar, and their support was incredible . Memphis also spoke to me several times about the Corinthians fans. We know how great Brazilian football is. I'm very proud of Memphis and hope he scores many goals for the national team," said the defender.
After eliminating Al-Hilal in the semifinals, Flamengo faced Liverpool again in a repeat of the 1981 final . However, Jorge Jesus's team failed to break down the English defense and lost in extra time. In the final, Van Dijk experienced one of the greatest moments of his career and was a key player in neutralizing the Flamengo attack. Players like Gabigol struggled against the defender's solidity.
Almost six years after that duel, the Nation is preparing for another big night. Tickets for Flamengo vs Estudiantes, this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals , are already sold out . More than 69 thousand fans will support Filipe Luís' team, which is looking to open up an advantage before the decisive match in La Plata.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil after losing 1-0 to São Paulo, this Wednesday (17), at Morumbis. The Rio de Janeiro team even tried to react after falling behind on the scoreboard, but was unable to avoid elimination in the single duel of the round of 16. The decisive goal was scored by Duda Serrana, a standout for the São Paulo team.
In the first half, São Paulo dominated possession and adopted a more attacking approach , hindering Flamengo 's play. Flamengo struggled to exchange passes and impose their style. Even so, the visitors had the best chance of the first half: on a quick counterattack in the 30th minute, Duda had a good opportunity but shot wide.
Early in the second half, a poor clearance by the Flamengo defense resulted in the game-clinching goal. The defense poorly cleared the ball, and Duda Serrana fired a precise shot from outside the box, leaving Flamengo's goalkeeper with no chance . From then on, the Rio de Janeiro team pushed forward and sought to press in the final minutes, relying primarily on set pieces and crosses, but failed to create any real chances.
With this result, Flamengo ends its Women's Copa do Brasil campaign with one win and one loss. The team received approximately R$90,000 for its participation in the round of 16. After the final whistle, members of the Flamengo coaching staff complained about the refereeing in the center of the field, but the result remained unchanged.
Flamengo could take to the field with a different formation to face Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The duel, decisive for the club's ambitions in the continental competition, will be broadcast live on Disney+.

Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the Brazilian Championship, and ended a 28-year winless streak in Caxias do Sul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring and Emerson Royal closed the score, scoring his first goal for the club .
Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"
After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.
It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.
According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.
On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.
