|
0In addition to the new notice, the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro made available to those interested in the exploration and use of Maracanã for the next 20 years several obligations for competitors. The main one promises to be the renovation of the roof.
Among the guidelines for mandatory interventions at the stadium and also at Maracanãzinho are a complete inspection and correction of defects in the roof of both equipment. As was announced in March this year, a study carried out by a specialized company highlighted problems in the conservation of the canvas that covers 96% of the stadium.
The study carried out in 2021 was the first more detailed one since the work was handed over, a few years ago. 10 years. In the words of the 261-page report, maintenance "was practically non-existent over the 7 years since the work was completed." Among the irregularities found more than two years ago, there were 285 pins with oxidation problems and 465 holes in the roof membrane, caused by fireworks at the 2016 Olympics.
Other mandatory changes are required to be carried out of the stadium's first painting ten years after its reopening for the 2013 Confederations Cup. The Government points out in the notice documents that "after 9 years (the stadium) has not yet undergone any internal painting, such as bathrooms, operating rooms, corridors circulation, etc. and externally, the problem being most visible in the monumental ramps and upper vaults".
There are other points of repair, renovation and improvements pointed out to the future concessionaire. For example, the installation of a new partition between fans, with a glass model to eliminate blind spots in the stadium.

Government imposes that only advertisements for bets already registered with Loterj can be displayed

0The company Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. was finally registered with the Rio de Janeiro Commercial Board last week, paving the way for the signing of the Maracanã concession contract for the next 20 years. However, a new clause inserted in the contract, due to the delay in formalization by Flamengo and Fluminense, could impact profits of Flamengo with advertising boards in the stadium.
At the beginning of 2023, Flamengo sold to Brax the right to operate advertising boards in the Brazilian Championship from 2025 onwards. However, until the end of this year, the club is still responsible for directly negotiating the advertisements shown at Maracanã.
As in much of the Brazilian football in recent years, a large part of the advertisements on the stadium signs are from betting houses. However, on August 12, the Civil House Secretariat accepted a request from Loterj to include a clause in the contract that will be signed by Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. in the coming days.
“13.5. The CONCESSIONAIRE is prohibited from advertising/publicizing and/or merchandising, directly or through an intermediary company, within the scope of the Maracanã Complex, of Betting Houses that do not have a formal grant from the Lottery of the State of Rio de Janeiro – LOTERJ or the Federal Union , according to Decree No. 48,806/23.”
The process of granting licenses by the federal government is still ongoing, which led the Court to prohibit the operation of companies not authorized by Loterj in Rio de Janeiro. Currently, only five companies, including Pixbet, are authorized to operate in the state.
Flamengo attributes increased profits to the growth of betting shopsLoterj reopened on the 5th , a period of 15 days for companies to regularize themselves, paying a grant of R$5 million, in addition to 5% of the monthly revenue generated by betting. It is not yet clear whether some of the 115 companies banned from operating at the stadium will accept to pay the grant or will continue to fight in court to act based on the national license.
If Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. signs the Maracanã contract , it must comply with the new clause and suspend advertising from companies that are not accredited by Loterj until the federal regularization process is completed. This includes, for example, Superbet, sponsor of Fluminense.
In 2023, Flamengo raised around R$40 million from the sale of advertising signs, a significant increase compared to previous years, driven by the boom in betting houses, according to the club's own marketing department.
The agreement with Brax , in turn, involves a total value of R$330 million until 2029. The company will also have to comply with the imposed clause, but the expectation is that, until the contract comes into force, the process of regularizing bookmakers with the federal government is already completed.
