President of Caixa Econômica, Carlos Vieira commented on Flamengo's project for new stadium in the Gasologista region, in Rio de Janeiro. In an interview with "Portal 360", the person responsible stated that the conversations are still in the preliminary phase, but was optimistic about a definition by the end of 2024.
"We are in the preliminary phase to find the terms of common interest. The desired area, Gasmetro, in the urban center of Rio de Janeiro, is very well located. We have some parameters because Caixa manages an investment fund, where there is the so-called Cepac (Certificate of Additional Construction Potential), and there is a direct relationship between the Cepac value and the square meter. It is an arithmetic calculation", said the president.
This week, Rodolfo Landim spoke about the intention to purchase the land, but also admitted to having other options if the project does not go ahead. However, Flamengo's priority is the central region of the city.
"It is public that Flamengo has been carrying out analyzes to purchase that land. We have already had meetings with Caixa Econômica Federal, which is the manager of the fund who owns the land. We have already demonstrated our interest, there is additional work that remains to be done over the next few days, in meetings to demonstrate some points that we defend with Caixa. It is a work in progress. I hope it ends up being successful, because there is the land we chose as our priority. There are two other options that we have. But in fact that is our first option, if, by chance, we don't make it there, we will move on to the second option", said the director.
However, There are still many steps left until the final purchase of the land and the construction of a new arena to host Flamengo football games. At the same time, Rubro-Negro struggles to win the bid to manage Maracanã.

Bahia will have great difficulties when facing Flamengo this Sunday (5), in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Rogério Ceni has 13 absences, a record number of the season , for the clash at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
The Tricolor de Aço will have absences across all positions: goalkeeper, defense, full-backs, midfield, and attack. Nine players are injured and four are suspended, forcing the coach to resort to an alternative formation to face the league leaders.
Among the players missing are Luciano Juba, Rodrigo Nestor, Santiago Arias, and Sanabria , as well as players recovering from injuries like Kanu and Erick. The situation forces Ceni to assemble a new defense and even consider potential debutants.
With so many absences, Rogério Ceni should send an alternative team to the field against Flamengo : Ronaldo; Gilberto, Fredi, Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (or Michel Araújo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.

Corinthians idol, the goalkeeper was fundamental in Mengão's title in 2020 and shone again against Rubro-Negro in the Brasileirão

One of Corinthians ' greatest idols, goalkeeper Cássio has a special chapter in Flamengo's recent history, even though he never wore the red-and-black jersey. In 2020, his performance in Corinthians' draw against Internacional was crucial in the Rio de Janeiro club's Brasileirão title victory.
In the final round of that championship, Flamengo and Internacional were neck and neck for the trophy. Flamengo lost to São Paulo at Morumbi Stadium and, to retain the trophy , depended on a slip-up from their Rio Grande do Sul rival. At Beira-Rio Stadium, Corinthians held on for a draw thanks to Cássio's saves, preventing the Colorado victory and confirming the title for Mengão.
The episode has remained etched in the memories of Flamengo fans. In a recent interaction, a Flamengo influencer reminded the goalkeeper of the feat. " You know you're a national idol, right?" he asked. In a relaxed tone, Cássio replied: "Yes, we won that title, didn't we? Two thousand and…?" The fan added: "2020 !"
Last Thursday (2), in a duel valid for the Brazilian Championship, Cássio was once again highlighted against Flamengo, now defending Cruzeiro . The goalkeeper made important saves at Maracanã , guaranteeing a goalless draw and frustrating the red-black team's search for three more points.
With no time to lament the result, Flamengo is already concentrating its efforts on the next match of the competition. This Sunday (5), the team led by Filipe Luís faces Bahia, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be valid for the 27th round and will be broadcast exclusively on the Premiere channel.
