This it is the biggest sponsorship contract ever signed by the club, highlighting Flamengo's commercial strength and attractiveness in the Brazilian sports market.
Since the beginning of January, Flamengo has been active in the search for lucrative agreements, securing sponsorship and licensing contracts totaling more than R$1.5 billion for the management of Rodolfo Landim's successor over the next three years. These agreements not only strengthen the club's financial position, but also guarantee economic stability that will allow continued investment in football and other areas.

In addition to the agreement with Pixbet, Flamengohas signed several long-term contracts that consolidate its position in the market. Among them, the agreement with Globo stands out, which ensures the broadcast of the Brazilian Championship until 2029.

Flamengo continues its preparations to face Juventude this Sunday (14), in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The team's second-highest scorer this season, Pedro is expecting to start as a starter and could be one of the main weapons of Filipe Luís' team.
The number 9's record against the opponent excites the fans: in five matches against Juventude, Pedro has already scored six goals and provided one assist . In retrospect, the center forward also has the advantage, with three wins against the Gauchos and only two losses.
The season has been full of ups and downs for Pedro. After recovering from a serious knee injury in April, the striker faced criticism for his performance in training and even became embroiled in controversy off the field . However, he managed to turn things around and is now Flamengo 's second-highest scorer this year, with 12 goals and five assists.
Flamengo leads the Brazilian Championship with 47 points (14 wins, five draws, and just two losses) . Just behind them are Cruzeiro with 44 points and Palmeiras with 43. Juventude, their next opponent, is in a difficult situation: they are in 18th place with just 21 points.
With Pedro available, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The Mais Querido seeks the first victory against Jaconero away from home since 1997 , when with an own goal from Rodrigo Silva, managed to come out victorious.
Unlike other opportunities, Mengão players were not used to their full potential and should be available against Juventude.
