The president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, indicated the name of Diogo Lemos, Marcos Braz's ally in the “Conselhinho” of Football, to command the team that must prepare the government plan for the candidate for his succession.
Although the name has not yet been officially announced, vice-president Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches has already been chosen to be the name supported by Landim. Last weekend, Lemos, Dunshee and Landim hosted a lunch with allies at the Vamo restaurant, at Flamengo's headquarters, after meeting with the president of Caixa Econômica Federal.
Member of the Football “Conselhinho” since the beginning of the first Landim administration, Lemos increased his space in football last year and even had his name mentioned more than once to replace Braz due to the councilor's political commitments.
Last week, Lemos and Braz had dinner with Dunshee and another candidate for Vice President of Football in a possible Dunshee administration, Cacau Cotta.

Lemos was chosen by Landim to lead the commission responsible for taking stock of his management and preparing the succession candidate's government program. Officially, the management candidate will only be chosen after this plan has been drawn up, but in practice the choice will be made by Dunshee is already done.
Favorite to be Landim's candidate until last year, the president of the Board of Directors, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, stepped away from the president and is rehearsing his own candidacy. The tendency for him to be a candidate was confirmed indirectly by Guilherme Kroll, former vice-president of Olympic Sports, who left the position at Dunshee's request to accommodate a nominee of former president Patricia Amorim.
The election for Flamengo's presidency takes place in December.
Mengão acquired the site of the old Gasômetro to build its new home in Rio de Janeiro, but the process to begin construction is progressing slowly.

On July 31, 2024, Flamengo completed the purchase of the Gasômetro land for R$138.1 million . With over 88,000 square meters and a strategic location in central Rio de Janeiro—next to the Gentileza Terminal and Novo Rio Bus Station—the space was quickly associated with the Flamengo stadium project. However, 12 months later, the situation is uncertain under the club's new management .
The acquisition was completed in the final months of Rodolfo Landim's presidency. But in December, Flamengo 's presidential election brought Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, to power, adopting a more cautious stance regarding the venture . According to him, the studies conducted during the previous administration were "preliminary" and required a complete review.
In April 2025, the club announced the hiring of three companies to conduct technical analyses and further evaluate the site. Coordination remains under the responsibility of Arena E+V, the same company chosen by Landim. At the time, the former president estimated the total cost of the project at less than R$2 billion, including surrounding improvements. BAP stated in February that the actual cost would be much higher—"R$3 billion or more."
According to the 'GE' portal, two of the three contracted companies have already submitted their reports . Soloteste completed the geotechnical studies in about 30 days. Shortly thereafter, JDS Engenharia de Precisão completed the topographic surveys. AECOM, responsible for the more complex analysis—involving soil contamination and risk assessment—was expected to deliver by October, but the deadline could extend until 2026.
Bap on Flamengo's stadium: "It will take longer and cost more money than expected"
Another point still unanswered is the financial feasibility study commissioned from the Getúlio Vargas Foundation. In February, Bap stated that FGV had requested 60 days to submit the report. More than 120 days have passed, and the material has still not been released.
According to the 'GE' portal, neither Flamengo 's current president, Landim, nor Arena E+V have commented on the discrepancies in budgets and deadlines. There has also been no public disclosure of any of the studies commissioned to date.
In June, Bap summarized the current situation: " Studies show that it can't be done in the timeframe suggested or at the price quoted . Four companies are evaluating the work previously done, and the conclusion is that, unfortunately, it will take longer and cost more than imagined at the time," the president declared.
Mengão remains one of the best-positioned teams financially in Brazil and has managed to reduce the amounts payable from the end of 2024

Flamengo released, this Thursday (31), its financial statement for the second quarter of 2025. The numbers confirm the excellent moment in the club's finances . The main highlight was the drop in net operating debt (EOL), which went from R$ 327.4 million at the end of 2024 to R$ 128.2 million on June 30 of this year - a reduction of R$ 199.2 million , equivalent to more than 60% .
Flamengo uses the EOL as its main indicator of its debt. Simply put, the EOL represents the total outstanding obligations, less available cash and receivables . In other words, it provides a more accurate view of the real financial situation, unlike the simple sum of gross debt.
The document released by the club also highlights that the drop was achieved even in a historically more challenging period for Brazilian clubs: “ It is important to note that the value showed a drop , even in a traditionally more difficult period such as the first half of the year,” highlights the balance sheet.
Despite the significant reduction in debt, the report does not include the impact of the second transfer window , which began in July—thus, after the close of the quarter. This period of the market has a direct impact on the club's cash flow and will be reflected in the next balance sheet.
So far, Flamengo has invested approximately R$294.3 million (or €46 million) in reinforcements , with the signings of Emerson Royal (€9 million), Carrascal (€12 million), and Samuel Lino (€25 million). In return, the club has already secured significant revenue from sales: Gerson and Wesley were sold for €25 million each, while Alcaraz earned €15 million. In total, these transactions total €65 million—the equivalent of R$435.06 million.
The current balance sheet, which only considers data up to June 30, records R$167.9 million in player purchases and R$54.5 million in sales . It's worth noting that a significant portion of the payments are related to contractual bonuses, with Juninho and Jorginho being the only players paid in this format upon joining the squad.

With the new coach in charge of the women's team, Rosana Augusto , the Meninas da Gávea have excelled at Flamengo and earned a spot on the Brazilian Women's National Team. One of the players called up was Kaylane Vieira, from the Mais Querido youth team, who had the opportunity to train with Marta.
Brazil is competing in the Women's Copa América in Ecuador, and coach Arthur Elias has called up a few additional players for the training session at Granja Comary. In addition to Kaylane, Botafogo's Giovana Waksman was also with the team.
So, after returning to Mais Querido, Kaylane couldn't hide her happiness at participating in such an important moment and being able to train alongside Brazil's biggest names in the sport. According to her, the period provided a series of lessons that she will bring back to Flamengo for the rest of the season.
Kaylane talks about the opportunity with the women's team: "It was a unique and extraordinary experience to train with great stars of our football."
She continued: "They welcomed me very well and included me in everything. When I got there, I couldn't believe it, it hadn't sunk in yet. So, it was special. Different from everything else. I'm returning with several lessons that I'll take with me in my career ," said Kaylane.
The young woman also admitted that she had a special feeling when she met Marta, the greatest athlete of all time in women's football and a role model for new athletes: "I was paralyzed when I saw Marta, I really trembled. She is a lovely person, she was extremely kind and treated me in a way that I can't even explain. I will never forget that," she celebrated.
Kaylane highlighted that Marta also left advice about her development on and off the field and even joked that, coming from who she came from, the tips need to be followed: "She also gave me several tips, helped me with some movements and showed me where I can improve on and off the field. Of course I'm going to follow everything, right? It can't be any different ," joked the young Flamengo athlete.
