On December 3, 2023, Flamengo experienced a moment of great importance in its history, not just for guaranteeing classification for the group stage of the Libertadores of the year next, but also for saying goodbye to one of his greatest idols. Filipe Luís, still a club player, entered the field at a packed Maracanã against Cuiabá. The 2-1 victory was not only important for the team, but it marked the last chapter in the successful career of Filipe Luís, who, with his commitment, said goodbye with the same enthusiasm as always.
Filipe Luís showed, once again, his importance on the field. Even in a moment of farewell, the left-back did not settle down. He was the leader in tackles in the match and stood out as one of the athletes with the most successful passes, helping Flamengo achieve the essential victory. The game against Cuiabá was not just festive, but a crucial moment for the red-and-black team that was looking for a place in the next edition of the Libertadores. His delivery on the field showed that the idol was willing to leave his mark until the last moment.
FILIPE'S EMOTION LUÍS
December 3, 2023 was marked by a great emotional charge for Filipe Luís. Upon entering the field, the player came across a 3D mosaic that was displayed in the North sector of Maracanã. The image portrayed Filipe alongside his grandfather Ivo Stinghen, with the words “From father to son, from grandfather to grandson.” This tribute was an emotional moment, not only for the player, but for everyone present at the stadium, who could feel the strength of the family bond and the importance of this relationship for the career of Filipe.
Ivo Stinghen, Filipe Luís' grandfather, played a fundamental role in shaping the player's passion for Flamengo. In the midst of a family divided between the red-black and Santos colors, it was Ivo who won his grandson's heart for Flamengo, with his love for the club. The tribute at the stadium was a recognition of this love story, which began long before Filipe Luís became one of the greatest left-backs in world football. This affection was visible in the moment when the player, visibly moved, came across the mosaic.
FAMILY TRIBUTES TO AN IDOL SPECIAL
In front of the tribute at the stadium and surrounded by his family, Filipe Luís couldn't contain his tears. Emotion took over the idol, who, alongside his children Tiago, Sara and Lucas, had one of the most touching moments of his career. The scene of the full-back not even crying alongside his children, and the memory of his grandfather Ivo, will be forever remembered by all Flamengo fans. This moment marked not only his farewell to football, but also his deep connection with his roots and Flamengo fans.
Filipe Luís said goodbye to football with the same competence and humility that accompanied him throughout his career. With the victory over Cuiabá, Flamengo managed to guarantee qualification for the Libertadores group stage, something that seemed distant at certain times. Filipe Luís' legacy goes beyond his performances on the field, but also the way he gave himself to Flamengo and became a symbol of dedication and love for the club. His departure will be remembered by many, especially younger people, who consider him an example to be followed.

Flamengo's top scorer this season , Arrascaeta gave a press conference this Friday (15), at Ninho do Urubu, and did not spare praise for coach Filipe Luís. The number 10 highlighted that the coach has been achieving results that others have not achieved at the club.
Arrascaeta on Filipe Luís at Flamengo: "Often they don't appreciate what Filipe is doing"
"We talk practically every day, sometimes before training, sometimes after. I'm happy with the work he's done here. We know Flamengo is different, the pressure is immense . They often don't appreciate what Filipe is doing with this team," said the Uruguayan, before adding:
"As qualified as the squad is, other coaches haven't been able to do what he's doing. It's a tribute to him. The way we play, the goals we score, and our defensive solidity . This is the result of his work. My respect for him goes beyond football," he concluded.
In the 2025 season, Arrascaeta has scored 14 goals in 38 matches, enjoying a high level of technical development. Under Filipe Luís, the midfielder has begun to play more centrally in the attack , enhancing his skills. For many, this is the most impactful period of his career at Flamengo since arriving in 2019.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo faces Internacional this Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio, for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. The duel opens the return leg of the competition and will serve as a preview for the decisive clash between the teams in the Libertadores , scheduled for next week.
The board wants the coach to remain in charge of Mengão and the contract may be longer than initially announced.

Flamengo remains firmly at the top of the Brasileirão , maintaining a lead over the second-place team despite having played a game less. They also opened up a lead in the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 by beating Internacional 1-0 in the first leg.
Aiming to maintain the core of the project, Flamengo is already taking steps to prevent the departure of key players. According to information from the 'Bolavip' portal, the board has begun talks to renew the contract of Filipe Luís , who has been excelling at the helm of the team and imprinting his style on the squad.
Filipe Luís's current contract expires at the end of this season. The proposal is for a two-year extension, until December 2027. The internal evaluation is positive, despite the elimination from the Copa do Brasil. The board believes the focus should remain on the Brasileirão and the Libertadores, competitions in which the team has been performing consistently and is contending for the title.
Aware of the demands of the competitions, the board is working to strengthen the squad. Among the priorities is signing a goalkeeper , and the club is closely monitoring the situation of Gabriel Brazão, Santos's starting goalkeeper, although a negotiation this season is considered unlikely.
Meanwhile, potential departures are also being evaluated during this transfer window. One example is Matheus Gonçalves, who is reportedly dissatisfied with the lack of opportunities under Filipe Luís. The midfielder has offers from CSKA Moscow in Russia and Red Bull Bragantino.
The striker has not yet been tried by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) for alleged involvement in the manipulation of sports betting results, and the analyst blames Mengão.

On the morning of this Friday (15), during the Posse de Bola program, on Uol, journalist Juca Kfouri made controversial statements about Flamengo and the case involving Bruno Henrique and alleged manipulation of sports betting.
Juca Kfouri: "It's clear that Flamengo has influence in the Court of Justice to prevent him from being tried"
The commentator insinuated that the club would have influence in the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) to delay the trial of the number 27 , who recently scored the winning goal for Flamengo in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
Kfouri stated, without any evidence: " For weeks now, I've only been referring to him as the accused Bruno Henrique . It's clear that Flamengo has influence in the Court of Justice to prevent him from being tried."
Before Kfouri's statements, Mauro Cezar Pereira had already come out in defense of Flamengo, noting that the club had no involvement in the case . He compared the situation to that of Lucas Paquetá and criticized the timing of the re-emerging issue:
"Flamengo has nothing to do with this. It's the player's problem, as he's hired his lawyers and is moving forward with his career . Clubs field players while they're not suspended. I just think this issue should have been raised earlier. When Bruno Henrique plays and scores a goal, everyone talks about it."
Mauro Cezar also highlighted that similar cases involving other clubs don't receive as much attention, citing Internacional's Thiago Maia: " They don't talk about Thiago Maia, whom Internacional puts on the field without paying him . The player hasn't been paid, and the situation drags on."
The controversy reinforces the debate over Bruno Henrique's trial, but makes it clear that, for now, Flamengo remains free to count on the striker on the field. The striker is even available to coach Filipe Luís this Sunday (17), when Flamengo faces Internacional again, but this time in the Brasileirão. The game is scheduled for 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
