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.” i>
The Mais Querido channel has joined the channels of the biggest European clubs and is comfortably leading the Brazilian rankings, with three times the number of subscribers of the second-placed club.

While the board is focused on the market , Flamengo's communications and marketing department continues to thrive. Flamengo TV surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube, becoming the first club channel outside Europe to achieve this.
According to data released by the platform itself, Flamengo 's prominence in the Brazilian and global digital landscape is reinforced. Thus, the Mais Querido channel joins major European clubs and role models for club channels , such as Barcelona, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and PSG, in the select group with over 1 billion views.
The milestone also comes amid changes implemented by President Luiz Eduardo Baptista's administration. The rebranding officially formalized the name "Flamengo TV" and brought in journalists João Guilherme and Daniela Boaventura. The commentator recorded a video to celebrate the milestone and posted a message thanking the fans.
" This is an achievement worthy of Flamengo and its fans, the largest in the world. We continue to do our work with great pride on Flamengo TV, our most beloved. Thank you, Nação Rubro-Negra," he said.
Besides joining the European giants, Flamengo also opened up a wide lead over other Brazilian clubs. The Mais Querido has over 7.4 million subscribers, almost triple the number of second-place Corinthians (2.5 million), while Palmeiras comes in third with 2.3 million.
Mengão is one of the main multi-sport teams in Brazil and stands out among the clubs that send athletes to defend the country

Flamengo confirmed its prominent position in Brazilian swimming by leading the number of athletes called up to represent the country in the five main international competitions of the 2025 season. In total, 18 swimmers from the club were called up to join different national teams, more than any other club in the country.
The calls cover five tournaments : the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore; the Junior World Championships in Otopeni (Romania); the Universiades in Berlin (Germany); the South American Youth Championships in Rio de Janeiro; and the U-15 Gymnasiades in Serbia.
Among Brazilian clubs, only Flamengo and Pinheiros have managed to field athletes in all five national teams . Flamengo leads the overall rankings with 18 players, followed by Pinheiros and Minas Tênis Clube, both with 14.
Although other institutions dominated selections in specific categories—such as Unisanta, the base team for the Singapore World Cup, with five players, and Minas Gerais, a strong performer at the Universiade and Junior World Championships— Flamengo was the standout in the youth categories . The Rio de Janeiro club had the most representatives in both the South American Youth Championship, with nine athletes, and the U-15 Gymnasiade, with five.
The survey, conducted by the Best Swimming website, analyzed a total of 23 clubs that had swimmers selected. After Flamengo, Pinheiros, and Minas, SESI-SP (10 athletes) and Unisanta (8) were the most representative. The significant presence of Flamengo on the national teams, especially among the younger players, reinforces Flamengo's role as a key player in the renewal of national swimming and one of Brazil's main talent pools.
The Mais Querido will host the single match, which will define who will advance to the round of 16 of the knockout tournament, on August 6th

After finding out who their opponents will be in the quarter-finals of the Brasileirão , Flamengo decided this Tuesday (8) which team they will face in the third phase of the Women's Copa do Brasil: Operário-MS, in a single match for a place in the round of 16.
Therefore, the date for the match between Flamengo and Operário-MS will be August 6th, with Mais Querido playing at home. The draw for the matches defined who would be the home team of the match and, as it was drawn first, Mengo won the right to play at home. The dates may still be subject to adjustments by the CBF.
It is worth noting that Flamengo enters the competition in the third phase, where the 16 teams from the Brasileirão Feminino Series A enter the tournament and join the 16 teams that qualified from the second phase. Operário started in the first phase and advanced after beating Mixto-PB and Remo.
The Meninas da Gávea drew 1-1 with Grêmio last Wednesday (18), which was even lamented by striker Vitoria Almeida, in the women's Brasileirão. The Mais Querido remained in fifth place and will now face Palmeiras in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
The first game will be played at Flamengo 's home ground on August 10th at 10:30 am, with the stadium yet to be defined. The return leg is scheduled for the 17th at the same time at Arena Barueri. The games will be broadcast live on TV Globo, TV Brasil and SporTV.
