The long-awaited moment has arrived for Flamengo's immense fans. On October 28th, 'Flamenguista Day' is celebrated, a traditional event that occupies a prominent place in the hearts of all red and black people. It's a date that goes beyond the club feeling; It is a day of reverence, of unity, of remembering why Flamengo is much more than a football club. On social media, fans come together to share their passions, memories and declarations of eternal love for the Sacred Mantle.
The 28th of October is chosen to celebrate 'Flamenguista Day' in conjunction with the of São Judas Tadeu, the patron saint of Rubro-Negro. The connection between the club and the saint is deep and full of symbolism for the red-and-black nation. On Flamengo's official social networks, the tribute to the fans could not go unnoticed: "It's my greatest pleasure to have you by my side. Flamengo fan. Every day is a day. Thank you! Greater love has no equal. And it really doesn't. Yours , mine, ours", says the publication, full of gratitude.
It is important to highlight that 'Flamenguista Day' was officially recognized in the calendar of the state of Rio de Janeiro in 2007, thanks to a decree proposed by councilor Jorge Mauro and approved by then mayor César Maia. Since then, it has become a tradition for the club to celebrate this special date. One of the ways to celebrate is through a mass held in the chapel of São Judas Tadeu, which is located at Flamengo's headquarters, reinforcing the ties between religious devotion and sporting fervor.
In addition to the exciting message of thanks to the fans, the official profile of the red-black team also dedicated a special post in honor of the club's patron saint: "Today is Saint Judas Tadeu's Day, our patron saint! The saint of impossible causes! Saint Judas Tadeu, pray for us". The link between the club and religious devotion is one of the pillars that sustain the strength and passion of Flamengo fans.
However, this year's 'Flamenguista Day' is marked by a peculiarity. Flamengo, which originally had an appointment on the field this Saturday (28), facing Red Bull Bragantino in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship, had its match postponed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The reason is noble and significant: Maracanã is handed over to the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) for the final of the Copa Libertadores da América, which pits Boca Juniors (ARG) and Fluminense face to face. Thus, the celebration of 'Flamenguista Day' gains even more importance, as a day of reflection, unity and recognition of the club's greatness, even without the ball rolling on the pitch.
Mengão reached an agreement with Dynamo Moscow to sign the midfielder, but the Russian club did not send a document authorizing the official announcement.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
