Flamengo is undergoing a major overhaul to fight for the 2025/26 Women's Super League title. This is because the Mais Querido's last victory in the competition took place in 2000/2001, with Virna as one of the highlights. Thus, the former outside hitter revealed that she almost wore the Vasco shirt and had to turn down a salary offer, which would have changed her financial status, out of love for Rubro-Negro.
I don't betray my team...
" Vasco and Flamengo were amazing. First of all, because of the rivalry. My story with Flamengo was really crazy. In the first year, we put together a team at the last minute, we didn't have the money and we finished in fifth place. In the second year, Vasco came out with everything, signing a Brazilian team, " said Virna, in an interview with 'GE'.
" (Former Vasco president) Eurico Miranda offered me double what I earned at Flamengo. Do you know what double my salary is? It was a retirement for me. I didn't betray my team, I didn't leave Flamengo. Isabel (Salgado) went, Fabizinha went, I didn't go. Vasco's budget was four times bigger than Flamengo's. I even became a businesswoman, I called: 'We don't have much money, but you'll love playing for Flamengo, living in Rio'. I was seduced by the Sacred Mantle ", added the former volleyball player.
“ No, because it was a very big passion. And look, money is important, you know? But I’m not a materialistic person. I’m generous, I do volunteer work, I don’t count. The more we help, God gives us twice as much. And then I achieved it in another way. And if I hadn’t achieved it, that would be okay. Money isn’t everything. Life is made of dignity and values. We live in a world that’s kind of promiscuous in relation to these values. People are living in this virtual world, living a lie and forgetting what’s inside them. We don’t change people, but through examples, we drag crowds along. Stop judging, pointing fingers. It’s a war between the right, the left, football teams, religion. Football, politics and religion are not discussed .”
At 53 years old, Virna works as a volleyball player agent, works as a television commentator and gives lectures . She also emphasizes that if Flamengo 'summons' her, she would leave everything to accept the position of coach of the Mais Querido.
" (Why aren't there many technicians in Brazil?) I think that motherhood, at least in my case, demands a lot. Now, I'll tell you, if Flamengo came to me one day and said: "Do you want to be a technician, Virna?" The story changes. The Sacred Mantle is different. The other day I went to the museum (of Flamengo), I went in with my children and two little friends from their school, and there were 70 children reading my story on the little screen ", revealed Virna.

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (13) that it has terminated its sponsorship agreement with Pixbet . The contract, valid from January 2024, was for two years (until December), with the possibility of automatic renewal for two more seasons — a clause that should be activated in September.
Expected values with PixBet:
The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:
The favorite to take over Flamengo's master sponsorship , SuperBet, faces stiff competition from Betano. The club has not yet decided on a new partner, but expects to sign a contract starting in September. Both companies have submitted three-year proposals, with values exceeding R$200 million per season and bonuses for targets, which could make the deal even more lucrative.
According to the ge portal, SuperBet's offer would surpass the contract signed with São Paulo, valued at R$600 million through 2030 , and could reach R$1 billion once the goals are met. Flamengo is working to make the new deal the largest sponsorship in Brazilian football.
The relationship began to strain after delays in installment payments, a situation the company admitted, acknowledging difficulties in honoring upcoming commitments . There are indications that PixBet will not exercise the renewal clause and will leave the club.
Flamengo 's board of directors wants to end the partnership in September so that the new sponsor can take over the uniforms immediately. PixBet is pleased with this possibility due to the outstanding amounts , but if an amicable agreement isn't reached, the termination will only take place in December, as stipulated in the contract.
Besides SuperBet and Betano, other bookmakers approached the club but withdrew due to the high fees required. If PixBet's exit is confirmed, the next sponsor will need to cover not only the master contract but also the corresponding amount for FlaBet .

Flamengo has gained a high-speed "reinforcement." Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel received a club shirt autographed by Zico , the greatest idol in the club's history. The delivery took place last Monday (11), during the opening dinner of Rio Innovation Week.
Vettel, who retired from Formula 1 in 2022, is in Brazil to participate in the event that discusses technology and innovation with a focus on sustainability, a cause he embraced even before leaving the track . The event also features other athletes, such as gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who represents Flamengo .
Vettel isn't the only driver to wear the Sacred Mantle. Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, currently in Formula 1, appeared wearing the Flamengo jersey in a photo before his debut in the category. At the time, he had won a race in Austria in Formula 2.
On the current Formula 1 grid, Max Verstappen is a Vasco fan due to the influence of his father-in-law, three-time champion Nelson Piquet . Meanwhile, British driver Lando Norris received a Palmeiras jersey in 2023 and has adopted the jersey as his trademark ever since.
Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13) in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Internacional. The match will be at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã . The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo (open TV), ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
