After eliminating Obras Sanitárias, FlaBasquete faces Halcones Xalapa, from Mexico , in the semifinals. Halcones Xalapa, a traditional Mexican club, reaches the semi-finals and faces Flamengo after a disputed best of three games against Nacional, from Uruguay. In the quarterfinals, the Mexicans came from behind, losing game 1, away from home, but managed to recover and won games 2 and 3.
In the first phase, Halcones advanced without any major scares, as leader of Group A. Competing with Real Estelí and Gladiadores de Anzoátegui, the Mexicans closed the qualifying phase with 10 points, four wins and two defeats.

The Argentine winger Martín Cuello will not continue at Flamengo. The player announced that his intention is to return to the Argentine National League or compete in the Uruguayan League, where he already played for Club Malvin in 2021.
Cuello, who is known by his nickname "Loku", arrived at Flamengo had high expectations, but his time at the Brazilian club was relatively short. With the red and black shirt, Cuello had good moments, but was unable to establish himself as one of the team's main players. The decision not to continue at Flamengo seems to be more related to his personal plans and the search for new opportunities in his career.
FLAMENGO IS RESCUED
Martín Cuello arrived at Flamengo as a promising reinforcement . The player, 1.92m tall, is known for his versatility on the court and ability to play both wing and point guard positions. His experience in South American leagues, including his time at Club Malvin in Uruguay, led to the expectation that he could add value to the Flamengo squad.
During his stay at Flamengo, Cuello participated in several competitions, including the NBB (New Basketball Brazil). However, he failed to stand out consistently and ended up not having the impact expected by the board and fans. Despite this, Cuello demonstrated professionalism and dedication, characteristics that are valued in the sporting world.
