The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) has officially released the uniforms that will be used by clubs in the quarter-final matches of the Copa Libertadores da América. Among the clubs involved, Flamengo, a of Brazil's representatives in the competition, the outfit they will wear in both clashes against Peñarol, from Uruguay, has already been defined.
In the first leg, scheduled for September 18th at Maracanã, the Flamengo will enter the field wearing its traditionally traditional home uniform red-black. This mantle is recognized as one of the most emblematic shirts in South American football, carrying the weight of the club's history and its achievements over the decades. The choice of the main uniform for the first clash in Rio de Janeiro reflects Flamengo's intention to impose its identity and tradition at a decisive moment in the competition.
A CHOICE FOR THE OBVIOUS < /p>
Now for the return game, scheduled for September 26th at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo, Flamengo will wear his white shirt. This alternative uniform is used by the club in away matches, especially in situations where it is necessary to differentiate the colors of the teams on the field. The choice of a white shirt for the second clash can be interpreted as a practical and strategic measure, ensuring that there will be no confusion with the colors of Peñarol's uniform, which also uses the colors black and yellow.
The definition of uniforms takes place as part of CONMEBOL's preparations for the decisive stages of the Libertadores, a competition that requires attention to detail, from logistics to the definition of uniform standards. This organization is essential to ensure that all aspects of the games are in accordance with the rules and to avoid any unforeseen events that could affect the performance of the matches.

Flamengo will enter the field this Sunday (1), at 4 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, against Grêmio, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, with at least one confirmed change. Without Alex Sandro, who is recovering from injury, Ayrton Lucas should take over the starting position at left back.
Coach Filipe Luís 's main concern is in midfield. Defensive midfielder Jorginho, a key player since the Club World Cup debut, experienced muscle discomfort and did not train with the squad this week . He continues individual training at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, the final training session before the match.
If he isn't cleared by the medical department, the top options to fill his spot are Allan and Evertton Araújo , with De la Cruz a potential outsider. Chilean Pulgar remains sidelined and is unfit to play.
The likely Flamengo formation that coach Filipe Luís should field in the match against Grêmio is: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
The Brasileirão's undisputed leader, Rubro-Negro, has 46 points, four more than second-place Palmeiras, who have a game in hand. After this round, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.

Palmeiras confirmed this Friday (29) the signing of midfielder Andreas Pereira, 29 years old . The player signed a contract until December 2028 and will become a reinforcement for the squad led by Abel Ferreira for the rest of the season.
The transfer was agreed for €10 million (approximately R$63 million). The payment will be made in installments over four years, an agreement accepted by Fulham, the English club that held the player's rights. "Now I'm in a relationship with Brazil's greatest champion," Andreas declared in his first statement after the deal was official.
Before traveling, Andreas underwent medical examinations while still in England. He is expected to arrive in São Paulo in the coming days to join the Alviverde squad and begin work at the training center.
The midfielder made his debut in Brazilian football in 2021, when he played on loan at Mais Querido from Manchester United. Despite his strong performances, his time there was marked by a mistake that resulted in Palmeiras' second goal in the 2021 Copa Libertadores final, which the Alviverde team won 2-1 over the Rubro-Negro.
After the official announcement of his arrival at Palmeiras, Andreas drew attention for his social media stance. The player deleted the highlight he had on his profile about his time at Flamengo . Many fans interpreted the gesture as a definitive end to that cycle.
Midfielder unlikely to stay at West Ham after cleared of sports betting charges, but likely to remain in English football

The Premier League transfer window closes next Monday (1st) and one of the most talked about names is Lucas Paquetá , revealed by Flamengo. After being cleared of gambling charges, the West Ham midfielder has once again attracted interest from English clubs. The player is having a great start to the season, with two goals in three appearances for the Hammers . According to journalist Cahê Mota, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Everton are monitoring the number 10's situation.
West Ham has no intention of facilitating Paquetá's exit and has stipulated that it will only negotiate for a minimum of £50 million (R$367 million). Although a transfer is considered unlikely, behind-the-scenes talks are ongoing. Among those interested, Aston Villa appears to be the most willing to formalize an offer . Tottenham, which led the race ten days ago, has cooled its interest after investing R$379 million in the signing of Dutchman Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.
Despite West Ham's poor start to the Premier League season, with three defeats, Paquetá has stood out. He scored against Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and has actively participated in the team's attacking plays. This strong performance, combined with his acquittal by the English FA a month ago, has put the midfielder back in the spotlight . As a result, coach Carlo Ancelotti has called him up for Brazil's upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia.
The current situation is very different from a year ago. During the Copa América, Flamengo attempted to repatriate Paquetá, offering €15 million and assuming the risk of a possible suspension . However, the offer was immediately rejected by West Ham. With the acquittal and the market value of the player, any chance of a return to Brazil has been practically ruled out. According to Cahê Mota, both his career planning and the amount of money involved rule out a return to the Mais Querido at this time.
DECISION ON THE WAY
Before the window closes, Paquetá will still take to the field for West Ham. The team faces Nottingham Forest this Sunday (31) . Immediately after the match, the player will travel to Rio de Janeiro, where he will report to the national team on Monday (1st) — the day on which his future in English football will also be decided.
