This last Monday (29), there was no vote only in Flamengo. This is because Fluminense's advisors approved the creation of the company Fla-Flu Serviços S.A., which will be responsible for managing Maracanã over the next 20 years. The Extraordinary General Assembly took place in the Salão Nobre das Laranjeiras.


In total, there were 665 votes in favor, ten against and one annulled. In other words, 98% approval. The debate was necessary for Fluminense to continue managing Maracanã together with Flamengo, as Mais Querido recently signed a new contract with the State Government to continue leading the Sacred Temple for 20 years.


FLAMENGO WILL COMMAND MOST OF THE COMPANY


Mais Querido will take 65% of Fla-Flu Serviços S.A., leaving Fluminense with 35%. The difference respects the rival's ability to fulfill the investments promised in the bidding process. After all, R$ 393 million is expected in works and maintenance of the Maracanã facilities.

Also highlighting that the difference in percentage, therefore, also occurs in profits, such as revenues not related to matches at Maracanã, rent for events, sale of boxes, storage with parking and tour of the stadium. In the case of duels, the income belongs to the principal, that is, Flamengo or Fluminense.


The new company is a Specific Purpose Company (SPE), with established governance. Each club may nominate three members to the board of directors. Furthermore, Mais Querido will have the right to choose the president of the board of directors and the financial director of Fla-Flu Serviços. Fluminense will be able to choose its commercial director.
