For the game between Flamengo and Cuiabá, this Saturday (6/7), at 8pm, at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship, CET-Rio set up a special traffic scheme. From 5:30 pm onwards, vehicle traffic closures will begin in the region, around the stadium. These measures aim to ensure safety and fluidity in traffic during the event. Authorities expect a large movement of fans and vehicles. The closures are necessary to avoid congestion and facilitate access to the stadium.

Fifty-five CET-Rio agents, six operational vehicles and ten motorcycles will provide guidance of traffic. The team will be strategically positioned to direct drivers and pedestrians. Additionally, 13 variable message boards will provide information about closure times and alternative routes. These panels are essential to keep the population well-informed and avoid disruptions. The organization hopes that the information will help minimize impacts on traffic.

The entire set of measures is in favor of road safety and traffic flow. Maintaining free intersections is a priority, as is the guidance of pedestrians, fans and drivers. Agents will be prepared to respond quickly to any situation. CET-Rio emphasizes the importance of everyone's collaboration for the success of the scheme. With careful planning, traffic is expected to flow efficiently.

Technicians from CET-Rio, at the Rio Operations Center (COR), will monitor all traffic movement through cameras. This monitoring will allow a comprehensive and detailed view of the road situation. If necessary, adjustments will be made to the traffic signal schedule to ensure good traffic conditions. The technology used in COR is fundamental for efficient traffic management. Coordination between agents and real-time monitoring are crucial to the success of the operation.

The match between Flamengo and Cuiabá promises to attract a large audience to Maracanã. Authorities recommend that fans arrive at the stadium early to avoid setbacks. The traffic scheme was designed to provide the best possible experience for fans. CET-Rio is confident that, with everyone's collaboration, the event will take place without any major problems. The objective is to ensure safety and convenience for everyone involved.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
