Flamengo fans will have the opportunity to watch the Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) team playing at Maracanãzinho. The Mengão esports team was invited to compete in showmatch (exhibition game) at the Global Esports Tour (GET) Rio, an international tournament that will take place in the city between April 18th and 21st. The information comes from journalist Jairo Júnior.


Flamengo's game will be after the finals and before the end of the competition, on April 21st, a Sunday, at 4pm, but the opponent has not yet been defined. Tickets are on sale on the Sympla platform and, only for the day that the Rubro-Negro game takes place, they range from R$109.65 (full) to R$246.40 (full). But it is worth highlighting that fans who have the right can purchase half-tickets.


It will be the fan's first opportunity red-negro see the CS2 team in loco since entering the sport, in end of 2022. Currently, the team is made up of: Samuel “voltera”, Pedro “zock9”, Daniel “danoco”, Alisson Farias and Alexandre “ALLE”. There are negotiations for the permanence of LUCAS1, the team's main name, who did not enter into an agreement for renewal and is being replaced by “voltera”.


GET Rio's invitation to Rubro-Negro exposes the influence that Flamengo has on the scene, even more so in Rio de Janeiro. The presence of Mais Querido will certainly increase demand for tickets and also help with Rio City Hall's project to transform the city into the “world capital of esports”.

The last time Flamengo Esports played a match in Rio de Janeiro with the presence of fans was the final of the 2019 Brazilian League of Legends Championship (CBLOL). The match took place at Rioarena, former HSBC and Jeuness Arena, and was attended by many Mengão fans to watch the title .

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (13) that it has terminated its sponsorship agreement with Pixbet . The contract, valid from January 2024, was for two years (until December), with the possibility of automatic renewal for two more seasons — a clause that should be activated in September.


Expected values with PixBet:


  • 2024 – R$ 105 million
  • 2025 – R$ 115 million
  • 2026 – R$ 125 million
  • 2027 – R$ 125 million


The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:

  • 2024 – R$ 10 million
  • 2025 – R$ 22.5 million
  • 2026 – R$ 25 million
  • 2027 – R$ 25 million
CLUB IS DISPUTED


The favorite to take over Flamengo's master sponsorship , SuperBet, faces stiff competition from Betano. The club has not yet decided on a new partner, but expects to sign a contract starting in September. Both companies have submitted three-year proposals, with values exceeding R$200 million per season and bonuses for targets, which could make the deal even more lucrative.

According to the ge portal, SuperBet's offer would surpass the contract signed with São Paulo, valued at R$600 million through 2030 , and could reach R$1 billion once the goals are met. Flamengo is working to make the new deal the largest sponsorship in Brazilian football.

CURRENT SITUATION WITH PIXBET

The relationship began to strain after delays in installment payments, a situation the company admitted, acknowledging difficulties in honoring upcoming commitments . There are indications that PixBet will not exercise the renewal clause and will leave the club.

FLAMENGO PLAN

Flamengo 's board of directors wants to end the partnership in September so that the new sponsor can take over the uniforms immediately. PixBet is pleased with this possibility due to the outstanding amounts , but if an amicable agreement isn't reached, the termination will only take place in December, as stipulated in the contract.

Besides SuperBet and Betano, other bookmakers approached the club but withdrew due to the high fees required. If PixBet's exit is confirmed, the next sponsor will need to cover not only the master contract but also the corresponding amount for FlaBet .

Flamengo has gained a high-speed "reinforcement." Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel received a club shirt autographed by Zico , the greatest idol in the club's history. The delivery took place last Monday (11), during the opening dinner of Rio Innovation Week.


Vettel, who retired from Formula 1 in 2022, is in Brazil to participate in the event that discusses technology and innovation with a focus on sustainability, a cause he embraced even before leaving the track . The event also features other athletes, such as gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who represents Flamengo .


FLAMENGO TEAM?


Vettel isn't the only driver to wear the Sacred Mantle. Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, currently in Formula 1, appeared wearing the Flamengo jersey in a photo before his debut in the category. At the time, he had won a race in Austria in Formula 2.

OTHER DRIVERS AND THEIR CLUBS


On the current Formula 1 grid, Max Verstappen is a Vasco fan due to the influence of his father-in-law, three-time champion Nelson Piquet . Meanwhile, British driver Lando Norris received a Palmeiras jersey in 2023 and has adopted the jersey as his trademark ever since.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13) in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Internacional. The match will be at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã . The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo (open TV), ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
