Amid a difficult start for the alternative team in the Campeonato Carioca, tests of the main team in the pre- season in the United States and the numerous changes made to Ninho do Urubu, the Bap management also needs to deal with a central issue for Flamengo fans: the construction of the stadium. And the word of the moment is "calm".
This is the stance that Flamengo's new president defends regarding the subject, especially after an end of 2024 dominated by the topic. At the time,the purchase of the Gasologista land became one of the arguments for the then situation, headed by Rodolfo Landim and Rodrigo Dunshee, but Bap's victory in the election should change the plans.
< p style="border: 1px solid rgb(197, 0, 24);">
The first of these concerns the construction deadline itself. Last year, in a feasibility study presented by Landim management, the opening was scheduled for November 15, 2029, Flamengo's 134th anniversary. The project was carried out with the consulting company Arena Events+Venues.
Additionally , the total investment was around R$1.93 billion, with a total revenue of R$1.5 billion from naming rights. However, Bap made it clear shortly after taking office: "There is no financial-economic feasibility study so far." In other words, the new administration does not believe that the deadline — and the values — raised by the Landim management are viable. To this end, it hired Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV) for a new feasibility study.
At this moment, the forecast is that the result points to the delay of the inauguration, according to ge. Bap's objective is to build the stadium without harming Flamengo's sporting performance, and postponing the completion of the works is a real possibility to achieve this.
Deadline for the final project
It is worth highlighting, however, that the Flamengo has a time limit to present the final version of the project. This interval corresponds to 18 months after the signing of the sales contract, made in August 2024. Thus, the deadline was established in February 2026.
From this date, a new deadline comes into play: Flamengo will have three years (or 36 months) to effectively begin implementing the project. However, Luiz Eduardo Baptista's management is aware that these deadlines can be extended and is already talking to City Hall in search of an alignment, reported ge.
Naturgy
Finally, there is still the decision that the purchase of the land will be made by Flamengo does not change the Naturgy concession, which uses the area to operate gas supply in the city. The determination came from the Energy and Basic Sanitation Regulatory Agency of Rio de Janeiro (Agenersa).
According With information from City Hall, however, the decision refers to the concessionaire's equipment on site, and not the land itself. Therefore, the transport of this equipment will have to be carried out so that the works can begin, but without affecting the gas supply in Rio. It is not yet clear who will bear the costs of this operation.

After almost a month away from the pitch due to a problem in his left knee, Nico De La Cruz returned to work with the main squad this week. The Uruguayan midfielder's participation in training created an expectation among the fans for this Wednesday's (13) match, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), against Internacional, at Maracanã, for the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
Despite his physical development, the number 18 is still not guaranteed a presence. The decision should be made this Wednesday afternoon (13) , when the coaching staff will announce those involved in the game. If he is released, De La Cruz should be an option on the bench.
Striker Michael is recovered and ready to be selected for the match against Internacional. However, he is seeking other teams to negotiate with and has been cleared by the board and coaching staff to remain on the sidelines while awaiting a transfer.
De La Cruz's potential return comes at a difficult time for the squad, which will already be without Erick Pulgar and Danilo due to injuries. Arrascaeta is also suspended after receiving his third yellow card in the final round of the group stage against Deportivo Táchira (VEN).
The duel between Flamengo and Internacional starts at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with live broadcast on Rede Globo, on open TV, and on Disney+, via streaming. The return match is scheduled for next Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre.
Commentator sees gross errors on the part of the black and white team and says the club can take inspiration from Mengão to avoid further defeats

For presenter Neto, Corinthians, which announced the signing of former Mengão player Vitinho , should be inspired by Flamengo's defensive solidity . The statement came after the São Paulo club's 2-1 defeat to Juventude last Monday (11), a result that kept the team with 22 points — 18 less than the Brasileirão leader.
Neto on Flamengo's defensive consistency: "How do these guys do it?"
"Football is played in a way you have to understand. Look at Flamengo at home. Do you know how many goals Flamengo conceded at Maracanã? Two goals. Two goals, that's impressive . So, wait a minute. How do these guys do it? Because there's something different about it," Neto pointed out during Band's Os Donos da Bola program.
So far, Corinthians has conceded 23 goals in 19 matches in the Brazilian Championship. When analyzing the defensive performance in the loss to Juventude, Neto was full of criticism, using expressions like "dead," "nasty," "tiriça," and "poorly positioned" to describe the team's performance during the goals conceded at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium.
With a game in hand over Corinthians, Flamengo has conceded just eight goals in the Brasileirão, two of them at the Maracanã . This defensive performance has helped Flamengo maintain its lead, with 40 points, three more than the team in second place.
Along with Neto, Romeu Tuma Jr., president of Corinthians' Deliberative Council, also advocated for the club to follow Flamengo's example: "Corinthians needs to turn the page and rise from the ashes. I want to fly like an eagle; we want to be Flamengo, and we will be, " the director stated.
The red-and-black team welcomes the Gaucho team to Maracanã in a decisive first leg, with confirmed absences and doubts about De La Cruz in the midfield

Maracanã will be the stage, this Wednesday (13), of one of the most anticipated clashes of the season. For the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Flamengo receives Internacional at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) with the mission of getting ahead in the elimination duel.
Coach Filipe Luís , however, must deal with a complicated situation: key players are out of action, and there's still uncertainty about the participation of a starter. The goal will be to find solutions to maintain high performance , even with the forced changes.
Among those who won't be available, Erick Pulgar remains sidelined to complete his recovery from surgery on the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot. Danilo, meanwhile, is treating a hamstring injury and, despite already training with physical therapy on the field, isn't expected to return until next weekend.
The list also includes Arrascaeta, who will serve a suspension for the third yellow card he received against Deportivo Táchira (VEN) in the group stage of the competition. Therefore, coach Filipe Luís will have a headache when it comes to replacing the number 10.
The coaching staff's main doubt is Nico De La Cruz . The Uruguayan midfielder hasn't played since July 16 due to a problem in his left knee , but he participated in training sessions during the week.
