The theme of the new stadium has excited not only Flamengo fans, but also the players. This Tuesday, midfielder Arrascaeta spoke out on social media about the forecast for the new red-and-black house in Gasologista, which should be ready in 2029. "Whatever, that's not possible 😂🤣" wrote the Uruguayan player, who is 30 years old and has a contract until the end of 2026.
PARTY IN GÁVEA
With a great celebration of the fans at the gate of Gávea, Flamengo approved on Monday night, in its Deliberative Council, the participation in the auction of the land of Gasologista, which will be held next Wednesday, with a minimum bid of R$ 138 million . The club already has a technical feasibility study to build a stadium with capacity for 70 thousand people. At headquarters, President Rodolfo Landim did not rule out the possibility of bringing the deadline forward to 2028. "We intend to take possession of the land very soon, but all the steps will take time. The basic project, which will run together with the licenses, will take approximately one year and a half. We set the date for November 15, 2029, the club's anniversary, but who knows, maybe we could get it on November 15, 2028?" declared Landim.
ARRASCAETA: RUBRO-NEGRO IDOL
