The professional team only returns to the field on Thursday (11), but this Wednesday (10) also has a good Flamengo game in store for the fans to watch. This is the U20 team, led by Filipe Luís. Mengão plays the 13th round of the championship against Athletico-PR looking to move up the table.
Time and where to watch Flamengo x Athletico- PR for the Brasileirão U20
The game takes place in Gávea, and is scheduled for 3pm (Brasília time). To watch, simply tune in to Fla TV, the club's official YouTube channel, which broadcasts the match. The broadcast is exclusive.
Game refereeing
The CBF has already selected the referee for the match and decided that João Marques Gonçalves will be the one to referee the game. Furthermore, Victor Augusto Camões and Lucas Castro dos Santos will be João's assistants in the match.
Flamengo seeks to climb the table
Filipe Luís' team they only have 19 points, 11 behind Palmeiras, who lead the competition. The team is seventh in the Brasileirão. It is worth remembering, however, that the top eight placed qualify for the knockout stages, and that is the objective of Mais Querido, who can become champions by playing in the knockout phases.
To do this, it is necessary to maintain among the top eight. Last year, the final in Volta Redonda, with on-site coverage by MRN, had Flamengo champion beating Palmeiras, on penalties. Athletico-PR, in turn, has 21 points and is fighting at the top of the table.
Mengão won the last game against Athletico for the Under-20s
In the last meeting between Flamengo and Athletico, Mais Querido came out on top, winning 4-1. In other words, the chances of winning are good. In addition, there are 11 clashes between teams in the category, with five victories for Rubro-Negro from Rio and four for Paraná, as well as two draws.
Probable lineup for Flamengo
The team is not the same as the 3-0 victory over Bangu in the Carioca U20. This is because Raphael Bahia works with the U20 B team in the competition. In the Brasileirão, Filipe Luís commands the main athletes in this base division. In addition to names like Iago and Carbone, who have already appeared in the professional ranks, as well as goalkeeper Dyogo Alves, Shola is also one of the big names. See Flamengo's likely lineup:
Dyogo Alves; Daniel Dales, Iago, João Souza, Carbone; Jean Carlos, Rayan Lucas, Felipe Teresa and Guilherme; Shola and Welinton.
Athletico's probable lineup:
Voronov; João Gomes, Fábio Lucas, Marcos Maia, Léo Deril; Arthur Dias, Diogo Riquelme, Lucca Prior, Chqueti; Guilherme Back and Lucas Amorim.
Filipe Luís plays his third game in the category
Filipe Luís' debut was not good in the Under-20s, and the team lost to Fortaleza 3-0. But the recovery was quick. Against Bahia, Shola scored twice in the 2-0 victory. This will be the coach's third match in the category.

Flamengo has signed 15-year-old goalkeeper Nicolas, who previously played for Avaí. Born in February 2010, the young goalkeeper stands 6'4" tall and is projected to grow to 6'7" . According to the FlaZoeiro profile, Flamengo acquired 10% of the player's economic rights, with a purchase option of up to 70%. The transaction value was not disclosed.
Nicolas signed a youth development contract with Flamengo until December 2027 and will strengthen the under-15 team. The goalkeeper caught the attention of the Flamengo youth academy due to his technical and physical performance in Avaí's youth academy.
Going through a period of restructuring, Flamengo remains active in the youth academy market. Recently, the club won its second U-20 World Cup with a historic victory over Barcelona , and is already making significant changes to its roster.
Among the departures, midfielder Lorran was traded to Pisa (ITA), while Matheus Gonçalves signed with Al-Ahli (SAU). As for arrivals, Mais Querido signed striker Guilherme Barbosa , formerly of Internacional, and midfielder Kaio Júnior, who was at Juventude after a stint at Vasco.
In addition to Nícolas, the club also signed midfielder Marcelo Portela, a standout from Botafogo, to bolster the under-15 team. The youngster became famous after a viral move , when he performed a disconcerting dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
Mengão remains active in bringing reinforcements to the youth teams and has signed a deal with the player who was involved in a move with the Real Madrid star.

Flamengo continues to restructure its youth academy and has confirmed another new signing. The club has signed Botafogo star midfielder Marcelo Portela to bolster its under-15 squad . The youngster became famous after a viral move, when he pulled off a stunning dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
The incident took place in July 2024 , during a futsal game at Canto do Rio, in Niterói, where Vini took his first steps in football at the age of seven. On that occasion, Marcelo Portela not only outplayed the 2024 world player of the year, but also scored the goal in the sequence of the play .
Despite the dribble, Vini took it all in stride: he laughed at the play, congratulated the young talent, and even posed for photos with him after the match . Information about the club's new signing was initially reported by the FlaZoeiro and FlaBase pages.
Because he was born in 2010 and is not yet of legal age to sign a professional contract, Marcelo Portela signed a youth development contract with Flamengo . The agreement also provides for a division of rights with Botafogo, his previous club.
While watching the incident with Marcelo Portela continue to resonate, Vini Jr. is enjoying some downtime. Suspended from the match against Chile and not called up by Carlo Ancelotti , the striker took advantage of his time off to relax in Marbella, Spain, where he was spotted cruising on a yacht.
Even with the title won over Barcelona at Maracanã two weeks ago, Mengão continues to 'clean up' the youth team

Flamengo's under-20 team won its second Club World Cup title in the category on August 23, defeating Barcelona (ESP) on penalties. Shortly after the title, the board began a comprehensive overhaul of the youth squad , which has already resulted in the departure of more than 20 players.
According to information from YouTuber Flazoeiro in partnership with Flabase, 23 players have left the club in recent months . Because part of the negotiations involves buyout clauses, Flamengo could earn more than R$100 million if the teams choose to keep the players.
The most prominent names among those who said goodbye were Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, considered great promises from the red-black youth teams and who ended up playing in the main team led by Filipe Luís.
Flamengo also saw significant departures from its professional squad. Zenit (RUS) paid Gerson's release clause, paying €25 million (approximately R$160 million) upfront. Wesley was also traded to Roma (ITA) for €25 million, and Victor Hugo agreed to a loan deal with Santos, valid until July 2026.
