This Thursday morning (29), Flamengo's young athletes, the Garotos do Ninho, got off to a great start in the Copa Olaria Renovado. Flamengo's under-16 team faced Olaria at the Rua Bariri Stadium and emerged victorious, with a score of 4-0 in their favor. Leonardo, the rival team's goalkeeper, did very well in the game and avoided an even more elastic score for Rubro-Negro.
In the first half, Flamengo opened the scoring early. Coach Eduardo Zuma complained about the few attacks and asked for greater speed in the transition. The team obeyed and exchanged quick passes, until Rafinha gave a beautiful assist for Ryan Pablo to open the scoring in the eighth minute. The team failed to expand in the first stage and goalkeeper Leonardo performed some miracles. At halftime, Ryan, who scored the goal, gave an interview to Fla TV.
“We came from a very good preparation. Zuma has been doing a lot of work with us. We managed to finish several balls, but unfortunately the goalkeeper caught them all. I scored a goal and I want to dedicate it to Jeffinho, my brother who is in bad shape, he was injured. Tell him who is watching, I love you, brother. We are together”, says Ryan Pablo, remembering his teammate who has a problem with his patella, having his leg immobilized and needing to be away from the field for seven months.
In the second half, Just Gabriel Amanacio and Eduardo Camillo remained on the field, in addition to goalkeeper Dudu. Zuma changed the rest of the team, and number 15, Daniel, needed two minutes to score Mengão's second. The defender is tall and didn't need to climb much to beat his opponents and score with a header. The third came out with Davi Waisman. Shirt 7 received a spectacular pass from Fábio Henrique and took the touch to beat goalkeeper Leonardo and see the ball die softly, in the back of Olaria's net. There was time left for João to receive in depth, come face to face with the rival archer and hit the angle, sealing the 4-0 victory.
In addition to Olaria, Serrano and Botafogo are also in Flamengo's group. In the other bracket, Vasco, Fluminense, Cabofriense and Volta Redonda complete the clubs competing for the Copa Olaria cup. Crias do Ninho's next match is on March 5th (Tuesday) against Serrano. The game starts at 10:00 am (Brasília time).

Flamengo has signed 15-year-old goalkeeper Nicolas, who previously played for Avaí. Born in February 2010, the young goalkeeper stands 6'4" tall and is projected to grow to 6'7" . According to the FlaZoeiro profile, Flamengo acquired 10% of the player's economic rights, with a purchase option of up to 70%. The transaction value was not disclosed.
Nicolas signed a youth development contract with Flamengo until December 2027 and will strengthen the under-15 team. The goalkeeper caught the attention of the Flamengo youth academy due to his technical and physical performance in Avaí's youth academy.
Going through a period of restructuring, Flamengo remains active in the youth academy market. Recently, the club won its second U-20 World Cup with a historic victory over Barcelona , and is already making significant changes to its roster.
Among the departures, midfielder Lorran was traded to Pisa (ITA), while Matheus Gonçalves signed with Al-Ahli (SAU). As for arrivals, Mais Querido signed striker Guilherme Barbosa , formerly of Internacional, and midfielder Kaio Júnior, who was at Juventude after a stint at Vasco.
In addition to Nícolas, the club also signed midfielder Marcelo Portela, a standout from Botafogo, to bolster the under-15 team. The youngster became famous after a viral move , when he performed a disconcerting dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.

Flamengo continues to restructure its youth academy and has confirmed another new signing. The club has signed Botafogo star midfielder Marcelo Portela to bolster its under-15 squad . The youngster became famous after a viral move, when he pulled off a stunning dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
The incident took place in July 2024 , during a futsal game at Canto do Rio, in Niterói, where Vini took his first steps in football at the age of seven. On that occasion, Marcelo Portela not only outplayed the 2024 world player of the year, but also scored the goal in the sequence of the play .
Despite the dribble, Vini took it all in stride: he laughed at the play, congratulated the young talent, and even posed for photos with him after the match . Information about the club's new signing was initially reported by the FlaZoeiro and FlaBase pages.
Because he was born in 2010 and is not yet of legal age to sign a professional contract, Marcelo Portela signed a youth development contract with Flamengo . The agreement also provides for a division of rights with Botafogo, his previous club.
While watching the incident with Marcelo Portela continue to resonate, Vini Jr. is enjoying some downtime. Suspended from the match against Chile and not called up by Carlo Ancelotti , the striker took advantage of his time off to relax in Marbella, Spain, where he was spotted cruising on a yacht.
Even with the title won over Barcelona at Maracanã two weeks ago, Mengão continues to 'clean up' the youth team

Flamengo's under-20 team won its second Club World Cup title in the category on August 23, defeating Barcelona (ESP) on penalties. Shortly after the title, the board began a comprehensive overhaul of the youth squad , which has already resulted in the departure of more than 20 players.
According to information from YouTuber Flazoeiro in partnership with Flabase, 23 players have left the club in recent months . Because part of the negotiations involves buyout clauses, Flamengo could earn more than R$100 million if the teams choose to keep the players.
The most prominent names among those who said goodbye were Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, considered great promises from the red-black youth teams and who ended up playing in the main team led by Filipe Luís.
Flamengo also saw significant departures from its professional squad. Zenit (RUS) paid Gerson's release clause, paying €25 million (approximately R$160 million) upfront. Wesley was also traded to Roma (ITA) for €25 million, and Victor Hugo agreed to a loan deal with Santos, valid until July 2026.
