The municipal approval marks an important step for Flamengo, which is now preparing to deepen negotiations with the City hall. The next step is to define the values ​​of the area where the stadium will be built. Collaboration between the club and the municipal administration is seen as fundamental to the completion of the project, which promises not only to benefit Flamengo, but also to bring significant improvements to the Gasometer region.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN THE NEGOTIATIONS

The construction of the stadium in Gasmetro is expected to revitalize the area, currently known for its strategic location, but also for infrastructure problems. Flamengo includes not only the construction of the arena, but also the creation of leisure spaces and services, which could bring a new dynamic to the region.

For Flamengo fans , the news is received with enthusiasm. The idea of ​​having your own stadium is not new and has always been a dream cherished by red and black fans. Currently, Flamengo plays its games mainly at Maracanã, shared with Fluminense and under state administration. An exclusive stadium would represent not only independence, but also an additional source of revenue, with the possibility of more intensively exploring commercial and event activities at the site.
