Last Wednesday (31), the Flamengo celebrated the victory in the auction for the purchase of the Gasologista land, where the club intends to build the stadium. Mais Querido paid R$138,195 million last Friday (2). However, Caixa Econômica Federal requested the annulment of the bidding process and expressed discomfort with the scene of politicians wearing red and black shirts at the event.


It is worth remembering that Caixa is the owner of the investment fund that owned the land and alleges that the auction left the purpose of the expropriation deviating. According to the bank, the objective was to benefit Flamengo. According to information from the Mundo portal Rubro-Negro, the bank's petition uses expressions such as “blatant and without a shadow of a doubt”, “surprising a total of zero people”.


Thus, according to information from the Mundo Rubro-Negro portal, the bank filed the petition last Friday (2) in a process sent to the Federal Court. Another point that bothered Caixa was the fact that politicians from Rio appeared at the auction wearing the shirt of Flamengo, celebrating the situation.


CITY COUNCIL REBATES AND ASKS FOR IMMEDIATE POSSESSION

With Caixa's complaints, the Rio City Hall accuses the former owner of the land of not carrying out the necessary care for the Gasometer space. Therefore, the municipality requests immediate possession of the area to help Mais Querido.


“As can be seen from the photos in the attached file and reproduced below, the property, in addition to being contaminated by the long years of use, in gas distribution services, it is ABANDONED and WITHOUT FULFILLING ITS SOCIAL FUNCTION, despite being located in a strategic area of ​​the City (Port Region), which reinforces the URGENCY in the request for provisional permission to take possession of the asset”, says the City Hall.< /p>CHECK THE NOTE FROM CAIXA ECONÔMICA“As reported in all press vehicles, only the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo attended the auction, accompanied by politicians wearing t-shirts from the aforementioned football club , happy and singing fans. A real party! This party, unfortunately, was held to the detriment of other people's assets, in this case, the FIIPM, whose sole shareholder is the FGTS. In other words, at the end of the day, a party with the public assets of all Brazilian workers.”“It is necessary to highlight a relevant point: at no time were Caixa and FIIIPM opposed to the project of Stadium. Negotiations were ongoing. The object of this resignation is based on the strategy adopted, illegally and unconstitutionally, to ensure that the aforementioned land was acquired by the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo for a price much lower than the market price.”“ There is, therefore, concrete proof of the occurrence of a competition aimed at benefiting a single private entity, which submitted a proposal at the minimum price without the slightest fear of being surpassed by a competing proposal, given the prior certainty of the total absence of competitiveness in said competition, all the result of an act fraught with the most flagrant misuse of purpose that now, as boasted by the Petitioner since the filing of this measure, has taken place in the most blatant and obvious way, before the eyes of the entire society and ostensibly reported in the press”. “For this reason, the Petitioners request the suspension of the effects of the aforementioned auction, as well as all acts resulting from it, in order to avoid the alienation of the useful ownership of the property, so that, in the end , the nullity of the expropriation act is definitively recognized, in order to allow such illegality to be interrupted and that CAIXA and FIIPM can return to the negotiation table with the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (and/or with any other interested in acquiring the land) and conclude, in a republican manner and in accordance with the laws of this country, any purchase and sale transaction, as occurs in any situation of this nature, that is, reaching a consensus regarding price.”

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid, MVP of the 2022/23 NBA season, once again demonstrated his affection for Flamengo . Last Thursday (21), the Cameroonian player was spotted in an official club store, in Cabo Frio (RJ) , where he made a point of purchasing several red-black products.


A SURPRISING VISIT


Although unusual, Embiid's presence in the Lakes Region has a reason. Married to Brazilian model Anne de Paula, the athlete often visits the city, where his father-in-law lives, during the holidays. This time, he took the opportunity to explore the "Nação Rubro-Negra" store and expand his Flamengo memorabilia collection.


ENTHUSIASM IN THE STORE

The star's arrival took everyone by surprise and caused great excitement among the employees. Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.


GENEROUS SHOPPING

Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FLAMENGO

Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.

MEETING WITH PLAYERS

In January 2024, when Flamengo held a preseason training camp in Philadelphia, Embiid met Léo Pereira and Matheus Gonçalves . The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
