After Flamengo presented the balance sheet for the first half of 2024 with deficit of R$79.5 million, the club's Deliberative Council (CoDe) scheduled a meeting for September 11th, Wednesday, to discuss and approve Mais Querido's budget for the period from January to June 2024.
According to the portal 'Coluna do Fla', the proposal of CoDe is to check whether Flamengo's current directors complied with what was approved at the beginning of this year for the first half of the year. Despite the negative result in the period, the expectation of the red and black leadership is that the club will still end the year with a surplus. The main revenues from competition prizes arrive at the club at the end of the year.
President Rodolfo Landim has already approved the club's balance sheet for the period. In the document available on the transparency tab of the official website, despite the deficit of R$79.5 million, the result is considered within normality and the red-black representative signed the letter.
Check out excerpt document
“We ended this first quarter recording an accumulated deficit of R$79.5 million. This result is approximately R$121 million lower than the result for 2Q2023 (positive by R$41.5 million), since the result for that semester was strongly impacted by the sale of the rights to player João Gomes in the beginning of the year window , which generated non-recurring revenue of R$ 103 million.
Better understanding the variation in recurring revenue, which does not include the sale of athletes, a slight reduction can be observed in relation to the same period of the previous year: R$458.8 million in recurring revenue compared to R$469.5 million in 2023, which does not generate long-term concerns, since this performance was due to the occasional reduction in revenue from participation in competitions, since in the previous year we competed in more competitions in the first quarter (Recopa Sul-Americana, Supercopa do Brasil and Club World Cup).
In conclusion, this deficit result in the first semester is natural and expected, due to the typical seasonality of revenues of the football industry. Our current estimate remains of a surplus result in 2024, which will allow us to continue in a sustainable manner, competing for the main places in the competitions in which we participate.”

Coach Filipe Luís has been frequently associated with Jorge Jesus . This Tuesday (16), the current Al Nassr commander made a point of publicly praising his Brazilian compatriot in an interview with Canal Goat . According to the Portuguese, the relationship between the two goes beyond the field, marked by friendship, gratitude and a constant exchange of ideas about football.
Jorge Jesus on Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "I really believe in his growth"
"Besides being a friend, he's a grateful person, and there are people in football who forget things very easily. We continue to talk a lot. He's a coach just starting his career and has absorbed the knowledge of my way of working , and I strongly believe in his growth," said Jorge Jesus.
The Portuguese also highlighted Filipe Luís's personality and promising future: " He's learning; our early years are like that, just like mine . Now, I know he has a bright future; he will. He's a great friend. Filipe is a grateful friend, a great family man, and he'll be a great coach."
Filipe Luís and Jorge Jesus worked together in 2019, when the former full-back was a key player in Flamengo 's Libertadores and Brasileirão championship. During that time, the club also won the Recopa, the Supercopa do Brasil, and the Campeonato Carioca . The current Mengão coach acknowledges the Portuguese's influence on his career and admits to modeling himself on the former Flamengo manager's style:
"I can never compare past teams with my current team; they have completely different players. I can never compare myself to the coach I was in charge of at that time, Jorge Jesus. If he's not the best in history, he's one of the best to have played here at Flamengo . I'll never be like him, I'll never do anything like what he did," the coach declared.
Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, against Estudiantes (ARG) , for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. On Sunday (21), also at Maracanã, the red-black team faces Vasco, in a classic valid for the Brazilian Championship. In the first round, the teams drew goalless.

Flamengo's latest transfer window had an impact on the European market . In an interview with UOL, football director José Boto stated that the arrivals of Saúl, Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal, and Carrascal increased the club's visibility among players playing outside of Brazil .
José Boto on players offering themselves to Flamengo: "There were important and well-known players who showed interest in coming"
"In terms of the market, this window has a bit of an impact in Europe, opening Flamengo 's doors even further to European players. They're seeing this type of player coming here and are more interested in coming," Boto stated.
The Portuguese director also revealed that prominent European football players had offered to play for Flamengo , but the club chose not to move forward with negotiations . According to him, there was no need for reinforcements in those positions.
"I won't name names, but after these signings, some important and well-known players showed interest in coming . These were positions we didn't need, and I've also said that sometimes, too much water kills the plant. We didn't want to turn it into something that could harm the team," he added.
José Boto took over the club's management after Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP) was elected president. Since then, seven new signings have been confirmed, with a total investment of €48 million (approximately R$301 million) :
