Forward who played for Flamengo's youth team, Bill scored the goal for Nova Iguaçu that eliminated Vasco and put the Baixada team in the Carioca final against Mengão. Shortly after the final whistle, the player highlighted that before playing for Fla, he had already played for Nova, where he is said to be proud to be a member of. Furthermore, Bill confessed that he will only start thinking about Mais Querido during the week.
“It was my first club, the club that revealed me (Nova Iguaçu). Anyway, I'm very happy. Now the final is a new game, a new story, but we will enter to try to make more history. The feeling is just a lot of happiness. We have until tomorrow to start thinking about Flamengo. It will be a new game, then we will study. But now we just have to focus on our celebration”, said the athlete.
Currently 24 years old, Bill was promoted to Flamengo's professional team in 2019, but only played 12 games, with a goal scored. After that, he was loaned to CRB and Ponte Preta, before arriving at Dnipro -1, in Ukraine. At the beginning of 2022, the European club paid 400 thousand euros (R$ 2.5 million) for 60% of the economic rights from the former Flamengo striker.
“It's a feeling of great joy, great happiness at the achievement. Six months ago I landed in Rio de Janeiro, returning from Ukraine and with no prospects of the future in my professional side (he says holding back tears). But God is wonderful, he put me here at Nova Iguaçu again. It was really out of nowhere. God's plans are like that, no one understands. I got here and a lot of people didn't believe it", finished.
Bill will have the chance to defend Nova Iguaçu against Flamengo in two games to define the champion of the Campeonato Carioca for the 2024 edition.
The new agreement will bring the Rio de Janeiro club R$268 million per year and positions the team among the biggest contracts in world football with the betting house.

Flamengo's Deliberative Council approved, this Tuesday (19), the master sponsorship contract with Betano , one of the global leaders in sports betting. The link will begin on August 20, 2025 and will remain valid until December 31, 2028 , guaranteeing the club R$268 million per season. The agreement is considered the largest ever signed in national football.
The partnership includes brand exposure on the uniforms of the professional team and also on Olympic sports such as volleyball, basketball, and women's soccer. Additionally, the company will be featured on Flamengo TV content, expanding commercial integration and global visibility. The board emphasizes that the agreement is not limited to financial support, but opens doors to new business opportunities.
With values comparable to those of European football giants, the contract brings Flamengo closer to clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Barcelona. For comparison, Flamengo's partnership surpasses sponsorships from clubs like Ajax, whose partnership with Ziggo generates only €8 million (approximately R$51 million) per year. This amount places the Brazilian team in 10th place in the world rankings for largest sponsorship deals.
This Wednesday (20), at 8:30 am, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista , known as Bap, will be live on Flamengo TV alongside Guilherme Augusto Figueiredo, General Director of Betano Brasil. The conversation will be led by João Guilherme and will cover the details of the negotiation considered historic.
The striker is accompanying the delegation to Porto Alegre for the match against Internacional, but is experiencing a period of uncertainty and low minutes.

Striker Juninho traveled with the Flamengo squad to Porto Alegre, where the team faces Internacional this Wednesday (20) , for the decisive clash of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. However, the player's use is not yet confirmed . Out of the last match against Colorado for the Brazilian Championship, the center forward lost space in recent weeks and was not related in three consecutive games, including the first leg duel at Maracanã.
Internally, the club's board is evaluating the athlete's future, as he has received inquiries from Saudi Arabian football clubs, with loan proposals rejected by the club. Previously, Juninho was close to a move to Sevilla earlier this year.
Negotiations, however, were halted after coach Filipe Luís intervened, contacting the striker to convince him to join Mengão's project. The investment was substantial: R$37.2 million to acquire the number 23, who currently has no place on the team.
In 2025, Juninho played 22 matches for Flamengo , scoring just three goals and providing no assists. He played 726 minutes that season, almost always sporadically used by Filipe Luís. In the Carioca Championship, he appeared in eight matches and scored two goals.
He has already played six times in the Brasileirão, without finding the net. In the Libertadores, he played four games and scored one goal , while in the national cups and the Club World Cup, he failed to stand out.
Colorado will have important reinforcements such as Alan Patrick and Carbonero to face Flamengo in a decisive duel at Beira-Rio
