With its debut scheduled for June 16, against Espérance, from Tunisia, Flamengo will be one of the attractions on the east coast of the USA at the 2025 Club World Cup . The team led by Filipe will play in two different venues in the group stage, facing opponents from three continents.
The first challenge will be at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, a stadium with a capacity of 68,532 fans. Opened in 2003, the venue is home to the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, but has also hosted games at the Women's World Cup and other major sporting events. Four days later, on the same stage, Flamengo will face its toughest opponent in the group: Chelsea from England.
It will be a repeat of the clash between South Americans and Europeans, which always attracts attention at the Club World Cup . A full house is expected, especially given the large number of Brazilians in the region. The group stage will end at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on June 24 against Los Angeles FC, representing Major League Soccer (MLS).
The arena, which seats more than 65,000 people, also has a history of hosting major events, including a 7-1 win over Haiti in the 2016 Copa América Centenario. Flamengo , like fellow Brazilian clubs Botafogo and Fluminense, will have to deal with the tough logistics of the tournament, despite its matches being held in the eastern part of the country. The board is working on meticulous travel, rest and acclimatization planning to minimize the impact of changes in city and climate.
In addition to the games, the club will also have parallel marketing activities, with events promoted with local fans and activations with commercial partners. Flamengo's presence in the United States reinforces the red-black SAF's project to internationalize the brand and capture new revenue.
Mengão hosts Leão for the 19th round of the Brasileirão in Rio de Janeiro and the stadium is expected to be full for the match.

The projection is an audience of close to 60 thousand fans , guaranteeing a vibrant and electrifying atmosphere at Maracanã.
The North, Lower East, and Lower West sectors are already sold out, a clear sign of the fans' mobilization to push the team toward another important victory.

Besides being a crucial game for the rest of the season, the match is crucial to maintaining the Brasileirão's lead. With the overwhelming support of the stands, Flamengo will be looking to show strength and secure three more valuable points , keeping its place in the title race.
Striker Luiz Araújo trained normally at Ninho do Urubu this Thursday (07) and increased his chances of being available to face Mirassol . According to journalist Lemos Santos, the number 7 should be included for the duel at Maracanã.
Absent from the last match due to injury, Luiz Araújo is considered a key player by coach Filipe Luís . His speed and ability to break through lines add depth and unpredictability to the red-and-black attack, and he's seen as a significant addition to the team.

Although Mirassol has never played at Maracanã , midfielder Gabriel knows the historic stage of Brazilian football well. The number 27 of the São Paulo team defended Flamengo for five years and, this Saturday (09), in the 19th round of the Brasileirão, he will have the opportunity to meet his old home again.
Discovered by Bahia, Gabriel caught the attention of European clubs, but opted to transfer to Flamengo in 2013, the year in which he won the Copa do Brasil . For the Rubro-Negro, he scored 22 goals before going on loan to Sport in 2017, and then to Kashiwa Reysol (JAP).
At Mirassol since 2022, the midfielder was a starter in the team's campaign to gain access to Série A and is in good form : he has six goals and two assists in 25 matches this season, considering the Brasileirão and Campeonato Paulista.
On the other side, striker Luiz Araújo reunites with Mirassol, the club where he began his youth career before moving to São Paulo . His subsequent sale to Lille (FRA) earned the São Paulo team millions.
Flamengo enters this match looking to bounce back this season. In the last round, they drew with Ceará and now share the Brasileirão lead with Cruzeiro. Before that, they defeated Atlético-MG but were eliminated from the Copa do Brasil on penalties.
The clash between Flamengo and Mirassol will be this Saturday (8), at Maracanã and will be broadcast live and exclusively by Premiere (pay-per-view), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). Fans can also keep an eye on Gazeta do Urubu for all the details about the duel for the Brasileirão.
