Libra's contract with Globo to broadcast the Brazilian Championships from 2025 to 2029, which will be voted on by Flamengo's Deliberative Council next Monday (8), will place the club in an unusual situation of having to root against the failure of their São Paulo rivals to make more money.
The R$1.3 billion annual contract with Globo provides for a 10% discount each time Flamengo, São Paulo, Palmeiras or Corinthians do not participate in the Series A in one of the years of validity – or do not sign the contract, which is the case with Corinthians so far. In other words, a relegation for São Paulo, which would be a sporting feat that would make Flamengo the only club to never be relegated to Series B, would have a negative economic effect on Flamengo.
In addition, a possible Santos' failure, which is not included by name in this 10% clause, in this year's Series B, could also cost Flamengo dearly. This is because the contract provides for another 10% discount if in a given year there are less than 9 Libra clubs in Series A. This would be the case if the contract came into force in 2024, since at the moment, there are 8 signatory clubs competing the competition: Flamengo, Palmeiras, São Paulo, Bragantino, Grêmio, Atlético-MG, Bahia and Vitória.
In an unlikely scenario in which Corinthians did not sign the contract, Palmeiras and São Paulo were relegated and Santos did not move up to Series A, the fixed amount to be shared by the Libra clubs in 2025 would go from R$1.3 billion to less than R$800 million, with R$130 million of this amount having already been advanced in 2024.
Contrary to what was being published and MRN itself reproduced, the advance of R$650 million that will be shared by the Libra clubs upon signing the contract does not refer to 50% of the value of the first year of contract, but at 10% of the value of each of the five years of the contract. The absolute number is the same, but the payment flow changes, and the clubs will receive 90% of the full amount each year.
Globo will not increase the contract value if Libra gains new memberships
b>
Globo's contract does not specify how resources will be divided between Libra clubs and leaves this division to the league, you just have to inform Globo so that payments can be done in a proportional manner. The league's current agreement is to divide 40% of the value into equal parts, 30% by audience and 30% according to the championship classification.
Although they say they work for a single league in Brazilian football. Libra clubs show no immediate intention to expand. This is because the contract provides that the fixed amount does not increase with the entry of new clubs into the agreement. In other words, in a scenario in which Forte decided to join Libra, the amount paid by Globo to have the 20 clubs would be the same as it agreed to have the 8 from Libra plus Santos and Corinthians, if the São Paulo club decides to adhere to the contract. .
At the moment, the tendency is for Corinthians to sign with Brax, which offers a higher guaranteed value than Globo to the São Paulo club. But the possibility that the São Paulo team can adhere to the contract will remain open during the term of Libra and Flamengo's agreement with Globo.

Flamengo's fans continue to impress world football's biggest names . In 2019, Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk came face-to-face with the might of the Red-Black Nation at the FIFA Club World Cup final in Qatar. The atmosphere of that match left a lasting impression on the Dutch defender.
Liverpool's Van Dijk on Flamengo: "Their fans were incredible"
In an interview with TNT Sports, Van Dijk was asked about his knowledge of Brazilian football. The topic arose because striker Memphis Depay , a player for Corinthians and the Dutch national team, frequently talks to the defender about Brazil.
"I know very well the passion Brazilian fans have for their teams. We faced Flamengo in the Club World Cup in Qatar, and their support was incredible . Memphis also spoke to me several times about the Corinthians fans. We know how great Brazilian football is. I'm very proud of Memphis and hope he scores many goals for the national team," said the defender.
After eliminating Al-Hilal in the semifinals, Flamengo faced Liverpool again in a repeat of the 1981 final . However, Jorge Jesus's team failed to break down the English defense and lost in extra time. In the final, Van Dijk experienced one of the greatest moments of his career and was a key player in neutralizing the Flamengo attack. Players like Gabigol struggled against the defender's solidity.
Almost six years after that duel, the Nation is preparing for another big night. Tickets for Flamengo vs Estudiantes, this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals , are already sold out . More than 69 thousand fans will support Filipe Luís' team, which is looking to open up an advantage before the decisive match in La Plata.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil after losing 1-0 to São Paulo, this Wednesday (17), at Morumbis. The Rio de Janeiro team even tried to react after falling behind on the scoreboard, but was unable to avoid elimination in the single duel of the round of 16. The decisive goal was scored by Duda Serrana, a standout for the São Paulo team.
In the first half, São Paulo dominated possession and adopted a more attacking approach , hindering Flamengo 's play. Flamengo struggled to exchange passes and impose their style. Even so, the visitors had the best chance of the first half: on a quick counterattack in the 30th minute, Duda had a good opportunity but shot wide.
Early in the second half, a poor clearance by the Flamengo defense resulted in the game-clinching goal. The defense poorly cleared the ball, and Duda Serrana fired a precise shot from outside the box, leaving Flamengo's goalkeeper with no chance . From then on, the Rio de Janeiro team pushed forward and sought to press in the final minutes, relying primarily on set pieces and crosses, but failed to create any real chances.
With this result, Flamengo ends its Women's Copa do Brasil campaign with one win and one loss. The team received approximately R$90,000 for its participation in the round of 16. After the final whistle, members of the Flamengo coaching staff complained about the refereeing in the center of the field, but the result remained unchanged.
Flamengo could take to the field with a different formation to face Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The duel, decisive for the club's ambitions in the continental competition, will be broadcast live on Disney+.

Flamengo beat Juventude 2-0 last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi, for the Brazilian Championship, and ended a 28-year winless streak in Caxias do Sul. Arrascaeta opened the scoring and Emerson Royal closed the score, scoring his first goal for the club .
Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"
After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.
It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.
According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.
On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.
