On Monday morning, Flamengo and Rio de Janeiro City Hall signed a term of commitment that aims to href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/entenda-os-valores-da-construcao-do-novo-estadio-do-flamengo" target="_blank">enable the construction of the stadium in Gasologista , using the constructive potential of the headquarters in Gávea. The club expects to raise around R$500 million through Cepac (Certificate of Additional Construction Potential) from Gávea. The estimated total cost of the stadium is around R$2 billion.
The agreement signed with the city hall provides for the preparation of a Bill that will regulate a consortium operation , allowing the transfer of the right to build from Gávea to novo project. This model has already been adopted by Vasco for the renovation of São Januário, although the club still faces delays in regulation. The possibility of using Cepacwas a determining factor for the red-black board to consider the project viable without the need to transform Flamengo into a SAF.
“The city hall not only helped us in the process, by expropriating the land, by renegotiating the entire construction potential that existed on that land for other areas, ceding this and working to ensure that this was done in a mediation process with AGU. How it is still helping us to direct the constructive potential here in Gávea like money stamped for the construction of our stadium. Doing quick calculations here, this help, the removal of the constructive potential there and offering us this constructive potential here, gives us an impact of more or less R$ 1 billion to help us in this stadium” explained Rodolfo Landim, at the beginning of the event.
The event took place in the main hall of the club's headquarters and was attended by important figures, such as the mayor Eduardo Paes, sports secretary Guilherme Schleder, federal deputy Pedro Paulo, and Flamengo, including the president Rodolfo Landim, the vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, football vice Marcos Braz and CEO Reinaldo Belotti. In addition to them, the candidates for the club's presidency in the December election were also present, Rodrigo Dunshee (current deputy general and legal) and Maurício Gomes de Mattos.
President Rodolfo Landim stated that the signing of the agreement is a kind of accountability with the city hall, taking into account the demands of the executive power of the city of Rio de Janeiro and the urbanization of the region.
“It worked as aaccountability for the city hall, let's say, of the evolution of the project and everything that was demanded in terms of adequacy, the requirementsthat the city hall had on part urban planning also made the adequacy of this work and the entire urbanization of that region. And also for the signing of that formal commitment that the mayor had already made to give us the construction potential here in Gávea, which as he explained well today would be something that we would have the right to build the internship here, to be able to build in another location, which is exactly the location of our land. A value of R$ 500 million more or less, which is what we believe this construction potential will have, something very important to help in the construction of our stadium”, stated Rodolfo Landim.

Flamengo's journey in the fight for the Brazilian Championship title continues this Sunday (03), when the team faces Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the competition. This Saturday (02), coach Filipe Luís released the list of players related to the confrontation .
Filipe Luís is still without Michael and Danilo, both of whom have been medically injured. Nico De La Cruz remains out, undergoing physical reconditioning. Flamengo, on the other hand, will have important reinforcements for the match. Arrascaeta and Jorginho, who missed the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG , are back. The recent debuts of Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal, and Saúl are also among the highlights of the call-up.
Two names were left off the list for specific reasons. Luiz Araújo was rested due to physical activity management, aiming to avoid strain that could lead to muscle injuries . Goalkeeper Matheus Cunha was not included due to patellar tendinitis in his left knee. Both remained in Rio de Janeiro. Flamengo heads into the 18th round of the Brasileirão (Brazilian Championship) as leader, with 36 points. Cruzeiro, with 34, is second, but has already played one more match.
After completing preparations this Saturday, Flamengo takes to the field this Sunday (03), at 6:30 pm , against Ceará, at Arena Castelão. The match will be broadcast live on the Premiere channel (pay-per-view), Record and on Cazé TV.
The striker was officially reported by the STJD on Friday and could be preventively suspended, in addition to being banned from football for up to two years.

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) Prosecutor's Office has charged Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique with alleged match-fixing. In response, the number 27's defense issued a statement to the 'Coluna do Fla' portal, refuting the accusation.
Flamengo's Bruno Henrique defended: "He was punished with a card in a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul"
" Bruno Henrique was booked for a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul. The claim that receiving a card for this play—in which there wasn't even a foul—was intended to influence the outcome of the match or the championship is absurd . The Superior Court of Justice (STJD) itself had previously dismissed a case based on the same allegations. The athlete's defense will demonstrate that this new complaint should also be dismissed."
Despite the complaint, Bruno Henrique remains free to play until the case is judged and should be included normally for the game between Flamengo and Ceará, this Sunday (3), at 6:30 pm, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão, at Arena Castelão.
The STJD Prosecutor's Office framed the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):
The complaint will still be analyzed, and the athlete will have the right to a full defense before any trial.
José Boto and Filipe Luís still see the need to have two more athletes to strengthen Mengão's squad for the sequence
02 Ago 2025 | 12:00 |
Flamengo's transfer window isn't over yet . Football director José Boto is still looking for two specific reinforcements to further strengthen the squad led by Filipe Luís . The club has already signed five players, but the board believes there are still gaps to be filled. This information comes from the 'GE' portal.
The main movement continues to be for Fiorentina striker Lucas Beltrán . A deal with the Italian club is already in place, and now the only thing left to do is convince the player. The Argentine, who was initially reluctant about a return to South American football, is beginning to welcome the club's offer .
In addition to a striker, Flamengo is seeking another defender. The need has been evident in recent games. With Danilo injured, only Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira remain as reliable options . Since Filipe Luís rarely uses the youngsters from the youth academy, the starting duo's fatigue has been noticeable—especially in the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, where their physical and mental fatigue was evident in the goal conceded. Although signing a defender is not considered a priority, the topic is being discussed internally, and José Boto is evaluating options on the market.
Flamengo still has time to finalize new deals. The transfer window in Brazil opened on July 10th and will remain open until September 2nd. Despite this, the board believes that the sooner the reinforcements are finalized , the sooner coach Filipe Luís will be able to count on a full squad.
So far, the club has signed five players : Saúl Ñíguez and Samuel Lino, both from Atlético Madrid; Emerson Royal, a right-back from Milan; Jorginho, a former Arsenal midfielder, signed during the Club World Cup transfer window; and Jorge Carrascal, a Colombian midfielder from Dynamo Moscow, who is already in Rio and should be officially confirmed soon. With the transfer window open until early September, more news is expected in the coming days.
