Legal and urban issues in the construction of the new Mais Querido stadium

In Carlos Vainer's text published on Juca Kfouri's Blog, the author discusses the legal and urban issues involved in the construction of Flamengo's new stadium. Vainer refers to the questions raised by Sônia Rabello, a jurist, in Diário do Rio. At the beginning of the text, Rabello is unable to clarify precisely who owns the land. It is not the Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF), but rather a Real Estate Investment Fund, supervised by the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), whose shareholder is the FGTS, managed by the CEF.
It is surprising that the ownership of the land is not explained at the beginning of the text. The obligations of an Investment Fund, created to operate in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in an urban operating area, are important information to conceptually discuss the topic in question. The lack of this clarity compromises the discussion about the legitimacy and procedures involved in the construction of the stadium.
Rabello mentions the Constitution, citing Decree-Law 3365, which defines public utility for various works, including the creation of stadiums. According to the Constitution, stadiums can be considered to be of public utility, especially when included in urbanization plans aiming for better economic use. This point strengthens the argument in favor of building the stadium, even if there are controversies regarding the ownership of the land and the role of the Investment Fund.
The text also discusses the number of stadiums in Rio de Janeiro. Currently, the city has three stadiums, and with Flamengo's new stadium, there would be four. In comparison, São Paulo has its own stadiums for each Serie A club, in addition to other relevant stadiums in the metropolitan region. This analysis suggests that the addition of a new stadium in Rio de Janeiro could be beneficial, considering demand and the need for better conditions for games.
A comparison International highlights the situation in Buenos Aires, which has 24 stadiums within Greater Buenos Aires, a region comparable in size to Rio de Janeiro. London also serves as an example, with 11 major clubs and stadiums for other sports such as rugby. These cities demonstrate that a greater number of stadiums can be viable and beneficial, as long as they are well planned and distributed.
The discussion about the location of the new stadium is crucial. The proximity between Maracanã and Flamengo's future stadium is seen by some as problematic. However, real estate expansion in Rio de Janeiro is limited, and the availability of public transport is a determining factor. Locating the stadium in central areas with good access to transport can democratize fan access and facilitate logistics on game days.
Finally, Vainer mentions activation of the stadium on days without games, an important point for the sustainability of the project. The new stadium area was unoccupied for 20 years, contaminated and abandoned. The lack of interest from the local real estate market reinforces the need for a project that brings revitalization and continuous use to the space. These urban and planning issues need to be deeply analyzed to ensure the success and acceptance of Flamengo's new stadium.

Flamengo officially resumed training this Saturday (05), after a short break granted to the squad. The return was marked by a two-period training session at CT Ninho do Urubu, with physical exercises and work on the field. Under the command of assistant coach Filipe Luís, who takes over the activities temporarily during the FIFA Date , the group began preparing for the next phase of the Brazilian Championship and other competitions in the second half of the year.
The players arrived in the morning and began their activities at the club's gym, focusing on physical conditioning. The group then went to the field and participated in technical activities, focusing on movement and team harmony. The coaching staff also took advantage of the day for individual observations and conversations with players who may gain space in the coming weeks.
GERSON, PEDRO AND BEHIND THE SCENES
The main absence at the reappearance was Gerson n . The midfielder had his contract termination published in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) and is no longer part of the red-black squad. Despite the expectation that he would be able to appear at the CT to say goodbye to his teammates, the player did not show up at Ninho do Urubu this Saturday. Gerson is on his way to Zenit, in Russia, a club with which he has already signed a contract.
FLAMENGO PREPARES FOR RETURN TO THE PITCH
Unlike the midfielder, Pedro was present at the training center and trained normally with the squad. During the week, rumors circulated about Flamengo's interest in negotiating with the striker, but internally the player remains focused on training and at the disposal of the coaching staff. Flamengo officially resumed training this Saturday (05), after a short period of time off granted to the squad. The return was marked by a two-period training session at CT Ninho do Urubu, with physical exercises and work on the field.
Under the command of assistant coach Filipe Luís, who is taking over the activities temporarily during the FIFA International Day, the group began preparing for the next phase of the Brazilian Championship and other competitions in the second half of the year.

Flamengo will make a millionaire profit from the sale of Vinicius Souza to Wolfsburg
Vinição, a Mengo product, stands out after being announced as a reinforcement for the German team; the Rio de Janeiro club will make a huge profit from the deal

Midfielder Vinícius Souza was transferred from Sheffield United to Wolfsburg for 15 million euros (approximately R$95.8 million) . FIFA rules reserve up to 5% of the transfer fee paid by clubs to reward all clubs that contributed to the development of the athlete between the ages of 12 and 23. In Vinícius' case, Flamengo accumulated 3.05% because he left the club at the age of 21.
This transfer reinforces the sustainable business model of the red-black base, which obtained financial returns even without the sale of the athlete in loco. To give you an idea, a similar mechanism yielded the club around R$11 million in the sale of Lucas Paquetá, for example. The amount of R$3 million will be deposited directly into the club's coffers.
HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO RECEIVE?
Transfer: 15 million euros (~R$ 95.8 million)
Solidarity percentage: 3.05%
Estimated total for Flamengo: R$3 million
FIFA VALUE
This amount is not exceptional for an individual transfer, but it shows how small amounts can generate consistent resources for the club. When added to other negotiations – especially of athletes revealed at Ninho –, these revenues reinforce the financial viability of the red-black base without depending on immediate sales.

In addition to Roma, Premier League team expected to make offer for Wesley
With Kyle Walker leaving for Burnley, Manchester City is considering investing in Cria do Ninho, a full-back from Mais Querido, who is already the target of an offer from an Italian team

Right-back Kyle Walker's move to newly-promoted Burnley has opened a gap in Manchester City's squad. The 35-year-old defender opted not to stay at the club despite having a contract until 2026 , and ended his career under Pep Guardiola, in which he was a key player in successful campaigns, such as the 2022/23 Treble.
With his departure confirmed, the English club is evaluating alternatives in the market to strengthen the sector , and the name of Wesley, a standout player at Mais Querido, appears as one of the main options. According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, the Citizens are considering formalizing an offer for the young full-back.
SHORT CAST IN POSITION
Manchester City currently only have Rico Lewis, 20, and Issa Kaboré, 24 , as their right-backs. Neither of them, however, has managed to establish themselves in the starting line-up, which led Guardiola to improvise midfielder Matheus Nunes in the role.
Given this scenario, the hiring of a consolidated full-back becomes urgent. Wesley, 21, has been standing out since Filipe Luís arrived on the coaching staff and is attracting attention from European football due to his speed, marking and offensive projection.
ROME PRESENTS FORMAL OFFER
While Manchester City is still evaluating the terms of a possible move, Roma has already made progress in negotiations with a concrete proposal. The Italian club offered around 25 million euros (around R$160 million), including bonuses, through a loan model with an obligation to buy — a common strategy to get around limitations imposed by UEFA's Financial Fair Play.
