The year 2024 hasn't even started and Flamengo is already preparing small gifts for its fans. And a surprise has already leaked that was being prepared in conjunction with Adidas: a 'popular' shirt. Next year, the Rubro-Negra Nation will have easier access to the Sacred Mantle through the new "fan jersey".
The Máquina do Esporte portal had first-hand access to this information, through an interview with Gustavo Oliveira, the club's vice-president of communication and marketing. The professional was on the Maquinistas podcast, this Tuesday (07), talking about the subject.
“Over the last three years, we have been holding meetings with Adidas' top managers. And one of the topics we cover is the cheapest shirt. After these three years of work, I am happy to say that, at the beginning of next year, we will have this shirt”, said the director.
He also pointed out that the new version of the Sacred Mantle will have a very close to that of the official game uniform. “There will be differences, of course, even to avoid cannibalization. But the ‘fan jersey’ will be more accessible to fans who do not have the income to purchase an official shirt in stores,” he stated. Even so, the item will be sold as a premium product, as it will not lose anything in quality.
Currently, at Flamengo's official online store, the official number 1 adult men's shirt is sold at R$ 499.99 (promotional price). Uniform 2, in this same version, costs R$599.99. Everything indicates that the "fan jersey" will be available for sale in March 2024.
The duo is reinstated into the Mengão squad after the FIFA Date and may be available to coach Filipe Luís for the game against Juventude.

With the end of the national team's commitments in the FIFA Date of September, Flamengo begins to welcome its players back. Among them, Arrascaeta and Varela, who were released by the Uruguayan national team before the duel against Chile . The duo returns this Wednesday (10) and participates in the activity scheduled for 9:30 am (Brasília time), at Ninho do Urubu.
On Tuesday (09), the red-black squad was given a day off, but now resumes work aiming at the match against Juventude , for the Brasileirão, at Alfredo Jaconi, where Mais Querido has not won since October 1997, when it defeated Jaconero 1-0.
Arrascaeta and Varela only took to the field in Uruguay's first game on this FIFA date. Last Thursday (04), both started in the 3-0 victory over Peru. Flamengo 's number 10 left his mark by scoring one of the goals, while the full-back provided the assist for the first goal of the team led by Marcelo Bielsa.
Varela , who played the full 90 minutes, finished the match with pain caused by pubalgia (discomfort in the pelvis, groin and lower abdomen). Therefore, he will be re-evaluated by the red-black Medical Department this Wednesday (10).
In addition to the Uruguayan duo, Flamengo had four other athletes serving their national teams:
As they were still available until Tuesday (09), the expectation is that they will only return to the club on Thursday (11).
The Brasileirão leader returns to the field on Sunday (14), against Juventude, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. With 47 points, Flamengo maintains its advantage at the top of the table . Cruzeiro appears in second, with 44, while Palmeiras, who drew with Corinthians in the last round, dropped to third place, with 43.
The Merengue team could put Vinicius Júnior on the market if there is no contract renewal, aiming at the arrival of the Frenchman Michael Olise

Real Madrid is considering trading Vinicius Júnior to free up space in its squad and invest in signing Bayern Munich standout Michael Olise. The Brazilian striker, a star of the Mais Querido club, has yet to reach a renewal agreement with the Spanish club, fueling speculation about his departure.
According to information released by the Transfer Feed portal, Real Madrid is closely monitoring Olise's situation. The 23-year-old French winger has been attracting attention for his consistent performance at Bayern Munich and has reportedly been recommended by Kylian Mbappé, with whom he plays for the French national team.
The Spanish club doesn't intend to further increase its payroll with another high-profile player without first negotiating with some of the current squad. If Vinicius Júnior is indeed put up for sale, Florentino Pérez could move forward with negotiations to bring in Olise, bolstering the attacking sector.
Signed last season after excelling at Crystal Palace in England, Olise has already made 59 appearances for the German giants. During this time, he directly contributed to 44 goals: scoring 24 and assisting another 20. His career in English football began with Reading, where he also attracted attention for his talent and versatility.
The uncertainty surrounding the Brazilian's contract renewal creates a climate of anticipation in the European market . If he leaves, Flamengo could see one of its most recent stars leave the Spanish club and reap a profit on the sale.
Midfielder was the only Mengão player not to enter the field during the FIFA Date and the lack of sequence is starting to draw attention
10 Set 2025 | 10:32 |
Among Flamengo's squad for the FIFA Date in September, Jorge Carrascal was the only one who did not enter the field . Called up by the Colombian national team, the midfielder was not even included in the match against Venezuela, last Tuesday (9).
Coach Néstor Lorenzo had already called up players above the permitted limit and, therefore, opted to cut the Flamengo player from the final list . Meanwhile, all the other Flamengo players called up by their national teams actively participated in the matches.
Arrascaeta and Varela, for example, were starters for Uruguay and had a direct role in the victory over Peru. This Tuesday (9), Matías Viña and Samuel Lino started playing for Celeste and Brazil , respectively, while Gonzalo Plata defended Ecuador as a starter against Argentina.
The midfielder's absence from the last two qualifying matches reinforces his recent loss of prominence in the Colombian national team. With qualification for the World Cup already assured, Carrascal will have to prove himself at Flamengo to regain coach Néstor Lorenzo's consideration .
Currently, the player has only played three matches for Rubro-Negro, all coming off the bench: two against Internacional (Libertadores and Brasileirão) and in the 8-0 rout over Vitória . In total, he has played 68 minutes on the field wearing the Sacred Mantle.
Filipe Luís on Carrascal at Flamengo: "I have great hope that he becomes an idol"
Despite a timid start, coach Filipe Luís made a point of highlighting Carrascal's quality and potential , projecting that the Colombian can win over Flamengo fans and revealed that he wants to make the midfielder a future idol of the club.
"He's a player with extreme quality. If he gets minutes on the field, everyone will see how refined he is technically. I have high hopes that he becomes an idol, because he's the kind of player the fans love to watch . The way he carries the ball and creates opportunities is something that could mark the club's history for years to come," said the coach.
