Flamengo received R$65.8 million from FIFA for its participation in the Club World Cup , which will be played starting on June 14 in the United States. The announcement was made by Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, the club's president, during an internal meeting last Friday (06). The amount is already in the Rio de Janeiro team's account , and an additional amount of up to R$20 million may still be transferred depending on the team's performance in the tournament.
During the Deliberative Council meeting, Bap highlighted that the amount was transferred directly to Brazil, without the need to open a company abroad. According to him, the world's top football authority accepted the request of the clubs involved and adjusted the payment model to facilitate receipt and reduce tax impacts.
The initial plan was to set up a company in the United States to avoid tax burdens on the prize. With FIFA 's change of strategy, the process was simplified. " There was a lot of criticism in many places, and FIFA ended up relaxing this ," said Bap. The executive also reported that the amount received was considered a prize, and not just compensation for participation, which also contributed to the favorable tax framework.
The maneuver allowed the club to receive the amounts in advance and on national territory, ensuring greater liquidity before the start of the competition . The decision also brought peace of mind behind the scenes at the red-blacks, who saw the process of opening a company abroad as bureaucratic and potentially costly.
Flamengo will play its first match on June 16 against Esperance from Tunisia at 10pm (Brasília time) at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Four days later, it will face Chelsea at the same stadium. The qualifying phase will end with a match against Los Angeles FC on the 24th. The schedule and opponents have put the club in a high gear in the first phase of the international competition.

Flamengo released this Sunday morning (31) the list of players related to the duel against Grêmio , valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The main absence is midfielder Jorginho , who had been in doubt throughout the week after feeling muscle discomfort.
Despite participating in a separate training session on Saturday, the player felt pain again during Sunday morning's training session and was rested by the coaching staff. See the list of players involved in the Brazilian Championship match.
In addition to Jorginho, Flamengo will also be without Alex Sandro, who is recovering from an injury . At left back, Filipe Luís will have Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña, both available for the match. Juninho, however, remains out of the club's plans and was not included in the list. The board is working to determine new destinations for the players.
The undisputed leader of the competition, Rubro-Negro, has 46 points from 20 games. Cruzeiro is right behind with 44, but has already played two games. Thus, Palmeiras, with 42 points and a game in hand, emerges as the main contender in the battle for the top spot . Immediately after the match at Maracanã, the São Paulo team faces Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, in a classic that could shake up the top of the table.
Flamengo and Grêmio face each other this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. While Mais Querido fights to extend its lead at the top , the team from Rio Grande do Sul, in 14th place, seeks to move away from the relegation zone.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (31) to face Grêmio, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast by Rede Globo , on open TV, and Premiere, on pay-per-view.
In midfield, Jorginho 's condition is a concern. The defensive midfielder is experiencing muscle discomfort and did not participate in training with the group during the week . He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.
Since his Club World Cup debut, Jorginho has established himself as a key player in the red-and-black squad. If he isn't cleared by the medical department, Allan and Evertton Araújo are potential options, while De La Cruz is considered an outsider. Pulgar remains out of the plans due to surgery on his right foot.
With the confirmed absences and the doubt over Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís should send the following team to the field at Flamengo : Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Rubro-Negro heads into the 22nd round as the sole leader of the Brasileirão, with 46 points, two ahead of second-place Cruzeiro, who still have a game in hand . After the match against Grêmio, the competition will be suspended for 13 days due to the FIFA International Day.
