Flamengo received confirmation this week from FIFA that it will be able to enter the field with its traditional flag at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami this Sunday (29), for the round of 16 of the Club World Cup . The authorization, reported by journalist Venê Casagrande, comes amid intense mobilization by the red-black fans in the United States.


The measure repeats what was already permitted in the game against Chelsea, in the group stage, when Flamengo had massive support in the stands. The use of the large flag in international tournaments requires approval from the highest football authority, due to safety regulations and size restrictions for flags in tournament stadiums.


FLAMENGO OPENS THE GAME WITH THE ORLANDO CAST


In addition to the traditional flag, organized fans are promoting the collective purchase of red and black balloons. The idea is to create an impactful and visually strong scene from the teams' warm-up. Hand banners, flags and even drums are expected to be present, repeating the celebration held in Orlando, in the victory over LAFC.

FLAMENGO HAS THE RIGHT MOMENT


In the previous phase, Flamengo's game against Chelsea in Philadelphia was one of the competition's biggest attendance milestones. On that occasion, 54,619 people were at Lincoln Financial Field, demonstrating the strength of the red-and-black fans even outside Brazil. For this Sunday's match (29), more than 35 thousand tickets had already been sold by Saturday afternoon (28).

The Hard Rock Stadium has a capacity of 65,000 people, and the expectation is that the crowd will exceed 55,000 fans. Flamengo is working towards the possibility of breaking its own record in the current edition of the tournament. The atmosphere of Maracanã in the United States could be an important advantage for Flamengo when facing one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

The European transfer window has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost saw another former player play in the Premier League . Manchester United made an official offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos , but it was unsuccessful.


According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, the English club was turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt , who set a price of 25 million euros (approximately R$156.3 million) to release the player . As the request was considered high, the English club abandoned the deal and opted to sign Belgian Senne Lammens, formerly of Royal Antwerp.


UNITED IN PROBLEMS


The goalkeeper position has been one of Manchester United's biggest challenges. After David de Gea's decline in performance, the Red Devils invested heavily in the position, with the most notable signing being André Onana , but they never managed to secure the expected return from the Cameroonian.

FLAMENGO'S PARTICIPATION


Kauã Santos left Flamengo in August 2023, when he was sold to Frankfurt for €1.6 million (approximately R$8.4 million at the time) in a deal that involved 70% of his economic rights. Flamengo still holds 30% and could profit from a future transfer.

FOCUS ON THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

While following the movements in the European market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on its commitments for the season. The team returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
