Before facing Latvia and Georgia, the team faces Montenegro and Cameroon in the first phase. Brazil needs to be champion, as only the winner of the Pre-Olympics gets a place in the Olympics through the tournament.

Didi, 24 years old, doesn't hide her desire to return to the NBA. The athlete was selected 35th in the 2019 Draft. Despite being recruited by the Atlanta Hawks, he was involved in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans. After a period with the Sydney Kings, in Australia, he returned to the NBA in 2021. There were only five games for the Louisiana franchise, but with remarkable moments. In addition to interacting with great players like Josh Hart and Zion Williamson, Didi had the opportunity to face superstars like LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

Unable to enter the field, injured, Luiz Araújo announced this Thursday (24) on her social networks, the birth of her second daughter. With the name Celina, the Flamengo player and his wife, Ingrid Cantarini, celebrate the special moment in a post on Instagram.





When will Luiz Araújo return to play for Flamengo?

Treating a serious injury to the cartilage of his right knee, the initial, and more optimistic, predictions point to a return for Luiz Araújo to the lawns later this year, in mid-November.


However, internally Flamengo's understanding of the case is pessimistic. Although the club assesses that the number 7 is an athlete capable of recovering quickly from injuries, the expectation is that he will only return in 2025.

Luiz Araújo suffered a blow injury, in a derby against Vasco, in the Brasileirão, just over a month ago . What didn't seem so serious turned out to be a complex injury, with a tedious recovery.

With the decision of the hosts of the final Copa do Brasil, this Thursday (24), the time of the matches was also defined, which will take place on the 3rd and 10th of November, two Sundays, which coincide with the ENEM exam dates. With this in mind, Consed (National Council of Education Secretaries) asked the CBF to change the date of the decision between Flamengo< /a> and Atlético-MG.


According to the council's request, the coincidence of dates and times may cause problems in movement and the environment among candidates in the test.



“We recognize the relevance of both Enem and the final between Flamengo and Atlético-MG, one of the biggest moments in the national sports calendar. However, this coincidence of dates, especially in the cities of Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro, may cause logistical difficulties for participants”, predicted an excerpt from the note.


Decision times between Flamengo x Atlético-MG may clash with the time for testing

Despite the order of field and dates have already been revealed, the times for the matches between Flamengo x Atlético-MG have not yet been decided, although taking into account the TV schedule, it is almost certain that they will take place at 4pm (Brasília time). Therefore, considering that the gates of the test sites will open at 12pm, with the end scheduled for 7pm, the match will take place in the middle of the ENEM.
