Candidate for presidency of Flamengo , Maurício Gomes de Mattosgave an interview this Tuesday (29) to talk about his plans for the club. MGM spoke about its team's plans for the construction project of its own stadium, with a focus on the “red-black way” and more favorable prices than the current ones to win which he classified as a rapprochement with the fans.
Maurício committed to building the stadium on the Gasologista land, something questioned throughout the campaigns. The club's former General and Embassies and Consulates VP has financial projections in his government plan not to transform the club into SAF and mentioned the possibility of captive naming rights. Furthermore, he also revealed that Fabrício Chicca, architect and owner of the Mundo na Bola channel, is part of his stadium team.
“It’s the dream of the entire Nation and mine too. Let's build a stadium the red and black way. The only group that is capable of presenting a study for this is ours. The condition of sitting in the presidential chair and already developing. We plan to develop the project in a year, a year and a half, and understand the best solutions for Flamengo. We picked strong names who understand the stadium, like Fabrício Chicca. A marketing team studying the conditions we will have to face when sitting in the chair. Naming rights, captives and all studies to present financial solutions so we don't become SAF. SAF no way”, started MGM on ‘Donos da Bola RJ’.
Next , the candidate criticized the ticket prices for the first game of the final Copa do Brasil. Red and black fans who want to go to Maracanã for Flamengo x Atlético-MG on Sunday (2 ) will pay at least R$280 for the cheapest ticket, while the most expensive ticket costs R$4,000.
Although recognize Maracanã's high costs as detrimental to income, understand that the average ticket is very high. He projects lower values for the future Flamengo stadium, but believes it is possible to have popular areas in the Sacred Temple as well. It is one of the plans if he wins the election.
“We are going to build the stadium completely focused on the Red-Negra Nation. We projected a much more favorable average ticket than Maracanã currently. Maracanã presents an unfavorable condition, it is unable to be profitable. A very high average ticket to play at Maracanã. But we have had the stadium for 20 years and we will know how to exploit this condition with popular areas. It is important to rescue Flamengo fans. The Nation that makes the difference for Flamengo. We have a decision now and the cheapest ticket is R$280, and a seat at Maracanã Mais is R$4,000. We are radically against this policy. The fan has to be treated as a fan, not as a product. Let’s reformulate the fan membership system”, concluded Maurício Gomes de Mattos.
The 35-year-old referee from Minas Gerais has already registered more than 360 infractions in 12 Serie A matches and tends to chop up games, although he issues cards within the national average.

The clash between Flamengo and Grêmio , scheduled for this Sunday (31), at 4 pm, at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship, will be conducted by Paulo Zanovelli . The 35-year-old referee from Minas Gerais is refereeing a game for the Mais Querido for the second time this season . In the first opportunity, against Mirassol, his performance generated criticism due to the excessive stoppages.
In that match, 36 fouls were called, 23 committed by the Red-Blacks and 13 by the opponents. The referee's style worries fans and experts, as the match could lose intensity and effective ball play.
The numbers confirm the trend. In 12 Brasileirão 2025 matches, Zanovelli called 362 fouls, an average of 30.17 fouls per match. This rate is considered high, especially compared to the Premier League , where the average is around 20 fouls per game.
Despite this, the issuing of cards hasn't kept pace with the same intensity. The referee has handed out 54 yellow cards so far, resulting in an average of 4.5 warnings per game , within the national league standard.
Maracanã is preparing for a big party next Sunday (30). With all tickets sold out, the expectation is for more than 60 thousand people present at the stadium . The Nation will be in force after the great 8-0 victory over the victory in the last round.
The newly announced midfielder is training at CT Luiz Carvalho, but still needs to regain match rhythm and regularity before his official debut for Tricolor.

Grêmio continued its work this Thursday (28) with an eye on the match against Flamengo, scheduled for Sunday (31), at 4 pm, at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship. The activity was attended by Arthur, officially announced as a tricolor reinforcement on the same day.
The players participated in training sessions focused on physical conditioning , as well as exercises on a reduced field with a focus on tactics. The squad will also have two more training sessions before the trip to Rio de Janeiro, scheduled for Saturday afternoon (30).
Although already integrated into the activities led by Mano Menezes, Arthur is not expected to play at Maracanã. The midfielder has not played since May, when he was still playing for Girona in Spain , and needs to regain competitive rhythm.
Furthermore, his registration for the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) has not yet been completed , which makes it impossible for him to play against the Mais Querido in this round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the player will likely miss Sunday's game.
Arthur is expected to return to the Tricolor jersey after the FIFA break. His debut is expected to take place on September 13th, against Mirassol, at 4 pm, at Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre . The match will be part of the Brazilian Championship and should mark the player's official return to the club that developed him.
The Brasileirão clash marks the first game of the Mais Querido's new partnership and will also feature the official return of another organized fan group.
