The expropriation of the Gasometer land, announced by Rio de Janeiro City Hall, was considered a fundamental step for Flamengo to advance in the construction project of its own stadium. Now, there are a series of steps and bureaucratic procedures to be completed.
“We are in a preliminary phase. Expropriation is an institute of administrative law, which serves the purpose of transferring the movable or real estate property of a private individual to the public authority for reasons of legal interest. Law 3365 of 41 regulates the cases in which expropriation is applicable and, among them, is for reasons of reurbanization and construction of a stadium. Therefore, it is clearly within the legal hypotheses. The publication of the expropriation decree in the Official Gazette begins this transfer process”, began Felipe Fonte, from FGV Direito Rio.
After the publication of the decree in the Official Gazette, Flamengo awaits the publication of the notice of bidding for the auction of the land, which belongs to Caixa Econômica Federal. The City Hall's decision came after Flamengo and Caixa failed to reach an agreement on the value of the 88 thousand square meter plot of land, in the São Cristóvão neighborhood, in the North Zone of Rio.
Professor Felipe Fonte explained in What is the position of Caixa Econômica Federal as of this decree, remembering that the company may contest the value defined by the municipality of the land.
“The municipality has a technical body that carries out an expert assessment. In this case, you have already done so to find out how much the property is worth. You will then arrive at Caixa and ask if you accept this amount as a form of payment. If Caixa says yes, the expropriation process is over, the property will be transferred and that's it," said Felipe Fonte, before addressing another possibility.
"If the answer is no, the municipality will have to file a lawsuit, which we call an expropriation action. The objective, in a very brief way, is to verify whether the price offered by the municipality is fair. In this process, there will be a judicial examination, where the parties will be able to indicate their respective technical assistants. discussed and a value will be reached that will be declared by the judge in a sentence. The transfer of the property will only occur when the municipality actually pays this amount fixed in the sentence”, he concluded.
The Gasmetro land was defined as “favorite location” by the Flamengo board for the project of its own stadium in 2022. Ease of access is a determining point for the decision, which evaluated other points in the city of Rio de Janeiro, such as Deodoro and Parque Olímpico, in Barra da Tijuca, both in the West Zone, but these options did not prove to be viable.
Gasologista is part of the Porto Maravilha Project region, an area that has received investment for urban revitalization for years. The location is close to the Novo Rio Bus Station and the recently opened Gentileza Intermodal Terminal, and to the city's main entrance roads, such as Linha Vermelha, Avenida Brasil and Ponte Rio-Niterói.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
Without Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís is evaluating the best alternatives for the position. De La Cruz and Saúl are the main candidates to form a partnership with Saúl in midfield . The coach will lead the final training session before the match on Wednesday (17) to determine his replacement.
Another confirmed absence is left-back Alex Sandro, who is nursing a calf injury and will be unfit to play. Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña are competing for the starting spot on the left wing.

A journalist guarantees that the way the media treats Mengão is always in an exalted tone, which has left the fans 'spoiled'

This Tuesday (16), journalist André Rizek participated in the Charla Podcast and once again gained prominence on social media when talking about Flamengo. Questioned by Bruno Cantarelli about the way the press treats the club , the SporTV presenter pointed out what he considers a “bad habit” of the red-black fan.
André Rizek: "Flamengo has a noble treatment"
According to Rizek, over the years, the media has created a culture in which the spotlight focuses on Flamengo , while rivals with similar achievements don't receive the same recognition. This behavior, he says, has accustomed fans to always expecting "noble treatment."
"When I came to live in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, my first shock was the media coverage. The first thing I noticed was that Flamengo gets a noble treatment. For example, if Flamengo wins the Guanabara Cup: 'Guanabara belongs to Mengão!' Then Botafogo wins the State Championship: 'Botafogo wins an empty State Championship.' Wait, something's different," said the journalist.
Rizek also cited recent examples to illustrate his point. According to him, any praise given to players from other clubs invariably generates comparisons with Flamengo , as when he praised Jhon Arias when he was still a Fluminense player.
"I said that Jhon Arias was, in my opinion, the best and most complete player active in Brazil. 'But what about Arrasca?' I wasn't talking about Flamengo, I was talking about Arias. You can't praise anything outside of Flamengo. A media culture has been created in Brazil that says: 'To Flamengo, everything; to others, beatings, mockery, belittling, and disrespect.' Flamengo is the most popular club in Brazil, a very powerful brand . But the others also need to be treated with respect," he added.
Despite the criticism, it's worth noting that part of this impact also stems from the engagement of rival fans, a phenomenon dubbed "Flacentrism" by the nation. Since 2019, any prominent team in Brazilian football has been compared to Jorge Jesus' historic team , such as Botafogo in 2024 or Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras. The same goes for players: every prominent number 10 in the country ends up being measured against Arrascaeta.
Because of its successful history and the strength of its fans, Flamengo tends to maintain a privileged position in the media . However, how this prominence is constructed is also influenced by the behavior of fans of other teams.
