The concessionaire responsible for managing Maracanã announced that it will hold an auction for 11 boxes at the stadium on January 31st. The initiative aims to serve the public interested in enjoying an exclusive experience during on-site events. The spaces available for auction includes boxes located in the West and East sectors, with different configurations. Among the options, the highlights are one cabin in the West Sector 3rd Level, four in the West Sector 2nd Level and six in the East Sector 2nd Level.
STOCK DISTRIBUTION
The proposal includes boxes in different areas of the stadium, which allows a variety of choices for those interested. In the West Sector, the cabins are distributed between the second and third levels, while the East Sector offers six options on the second level. These spaces are known for providing comfort and a privileged view of the field, making them attractive to both companies and fans looking for a different experience.
MORE DETAILS COMING SOON
A concessionaire has not yet released complete information about the conditions of participation in the auction, but confirmed that more details will be announced in the coming days. Among the expected points are the initial value of the bids, the format of the event and the acquisition rules. Maracanã is one of the most famous stadiums in the world, being the stage for historic football moments. The exclusivity of the boxes reinforces the prestige of the place, which remains one of the main sports and cultural centers in the country.
The Maracanã boxes offer amenities such as comfortable seats, air-conditioned areas and catering services. These differences make the space a popular choice for companies that want to promote relationship actions or for fans looking for a unique experience during games and events.
Flamengo, affectionately called Mais Querido, is one of the clubs that frequently uses Maracanã for their games. The stadium remains one of the main stages of Rio football, being a place of great celebrations for the CRF and its fans. The auction can attract companies interested in using the boxes as a relationship tool, as well as fans who want to experience the games in an exclusive way. The plurality of options promises to serve different audience profiles.

In a surprising move, Sportingbet, the bookmaker that already features on Palmeiras' shirt, is set to take over as Flamengo's master sponsor . The club confirmed on Friday afternoon (15) that there is already a winner in the competition for the most prestigious space on the uniform , with the official announcement scheduled for Monday (18).
According to UOL journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Sportingbet has outbid other major companies in the sector and is in the process of formalizing a contract with Flamengo . The dispute became necessary after Flamengo terminated its relationship with Pixbet, a longtime partner, due to payment delays and issues with government agencies.
The end of the partnership with Pixbet was made official hours before the duel against Internacional for the Libertadores, last Wednesday (13). On that occasion, the team entered the field with the word “thank you” printed above the former sponsor , as a gesture of gratitude for the period of collaboration.
Behind the scenes, Flamengo acted quickly to secure a new partner . The board of directors opened a competition, asking interested companies to submit sealed proposals. Initially, Betano and Superbet emerged as the favorites.
With the entry of other companies, such as Esportes da Sorte, 7K Bet, and Bet Nacional, the competition took on new dimensions. Superbet, which was well-positioned, decided to withdraw after the number of competitors increased . If the deal goes through, Sportingbet will sponsor the two clubs that have excelled in Brazilian football in recent years, deepening the rivalry between them on the national stage.
Midfielder was among those speculated at Mengão in case negotiations for Carrascal were not completed, but he could still paint himself red-black

Argentine midfielder Esequiel Barco has returned to Flamengo's radar . According to information from Italian journalist Marco Mampreso, from the Oggi Sport Notizie portal, the player has already reached an agreement with the Rubro-Negro , with only negotiations with Spartak Moscow, from Russia, remaining.
According to the publication, Flamengo is expected to formalize an offer of €14 million (approximately R$88 million) to try to convince the Russians to release the athlete. Previously, Mengão had offered €10 million, but Spartak promptly rejected the offer.
Barco's name had already been floated behind the scenes at the Rio de Janeiro club when negotiations with Colombian Jorge Carrascal became complicated. However, the possibility faded after the former Dynamo Moscow player's arrival .
Despite the interest in Barco , the club's board maintains the signing of a center forward as a priority in this transfer window. The club has not ruled out investing up to €15 million to strengthen its attacking position.
While the board takes care of the transfer window, coach Filipe Luís is concerned with preparing the team that will take to the field to face Internacional this Sunday (17) at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. Mais Querido is the leader of the competition with 40 points and is looking for a victory to remain isolated in first place.
After being released by the courts, the Mengão player analyzes the market to make a decision about his future during this transfer window.

Lucas Paquetá's future at West Ham could be decided in the coming days . According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the midfielder is considering transfer options after being acquitted of sports betting manipulation charges . The transfer window remains open until early September, on Deadline Day.
Although there are no official offers yet, interest in the former Flamengo player is growing, especially among European clubs. West Ham has not ruled out the Brazilian's departure, as he is unlikely to be a central player in the squad this season . Financial and sporting factors also weigh in on the English club's decision.
Manchester City has already expressed interest in Lucas Paquetá . In 2023, Pep Guardiola publicly praised the player, and the boards even opened talks. However, negotiations cooled after the sports betting case was opened . Even after the acquittal, the Citizens have yet to formalize a new offer, but the possibility of an approach before the end of the window is not ruled out.
During the investigation, Paquetá was left out of the Brazilian national team squad. Coaches such as Fernando Diniz, Dorival Júnior, and Carlo Ancelotti chose not to call him up , which reduced his visibility and limited his opportunities on the international stage. The absence directly affected the player's reputation, which saw his career suffer amid the controversy.
Despite being acquitted by the English FA, which found no evidence of match-fixing , Paquetá was found guilty of failing to fully cooperate with the investigation. Therefore, he may still be fined, although the exact amount of the fine has not been determined.
