WITH REBECA ANDRADE AND OTHER FLAMENGO ATHLETES, TEAM BRASIL HAS 56 OLYMPIC MEDALISTS

This Saturday (29), the pre-candidate for the presidency of Flamengo, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, the "Bap", surprised everyone. The former member of Rodolfo Landim's political group signed the proposed statutory amendment that aims to make it difficult to implement the Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF) at the club.

According to information from the Mundo Rubro-Negro portal, Bap, who is president of Flamengo's Board of Directors, is another member of Flamengo's policy Mais Querido which aims to complicate the paths towards a possible creation of SAF at the club. Thus, the leader throws all the spotlight on his competitor, Rodrigo Dunshee, who has Landim as an ally.

Rodolfo Landim, current president of Flamengo, He has already made it clear several times that he is in favor of the SAF at the club. However, the general and legal vice-president and candidate to be his successor in management, Rodrigo Dunshee, is against the implementation of the administrative model. However, the director has not yet signed the amendment.

Also according to the Mundo Rubro-Negro portal, the suggestion to change the club's statute will be filed this coming Tuesday -Friday (2). As far as we know, so far more than 200 partners have signed the amendment that makes it difficult to create a SAF at Mais Querido.

In addition to Bap, another candidate for the position of president of Flamengo, Maurício Gomes de Mattos , also signed the proposal. The former vice president of embassies and consulates is one of the members of the December election who took a stand against the SAF.

In a short season at Maracanãzinho, the Disney On Ice ice skating show enchanted children from social projects and their guardians, who had the opportunity to enjoy classic figures such as Mickey, Minnie, Cinderella and other fascinating characters from children's stories in the last weekend. For many, it was the first time watching a cultural show.

With the support of Flamengo, through its Social Responsibility Department, 100 tickets were distributed to partner social institutions. Cultural and artistic activities are fundamental for personal development, cultural enrichment and inclusion. Actions like this encourage children to explore their creative potential, broaden their cultural horizons and build a more promising future for themselves and their communities.

In addition to teachers and students from some of the Nuclei of Jogaremos Juntos, a social project of Flamengo, which uses sport as a tool for social transformation, the action also included those assisted by the organizations Espaço Recriando, from Anil, and Em Ação, from Complexo do Alemão.

“Today is a special day for the our students. Watching a show like this gives children a very important cultural moment”, said Ana Carolina Pereira, coordinator of Espaço Recriando. “Everyone loved it and was impressed with everything they saw. We are sure that it was engraved in the minds and hearts of each one of them”, added Allan Chaves de Souza, professor at Em Ação.

Gymnast Flávia Saraiva is another representative of Flamengo who will shine at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The 24-year-old from Rio is looking for her first Olympic medal, as at Rio 206 she came 5th on beam and 8th on the team. At Tokyo 2020, she suffered an ankle injury, but ended up 7th on the beam. For Paris, Flávia is the favorite for at least one medal.

This Tuesday (11), Flávia Saraiva participated in the “Microfonadas” section, where an athlete receives a microphone and shows his day-to-day training at the club. The gymnast shared her warm-up routine and conversations with her teammates, including Olympic champion Rebeca Andrade.

In Paris 2024, once again Flamengo will have a long list of athletes representing Brazil, but especially the Red-Negra Nation. Olympic champions Rebeca Andrade (gymnastics), Rafaela Silva ( judo) and Isaquias Queiroz (canoeing) lead the way. Sometimes, part of the media forgets Flamengo's role in the careers of these champions.
