The number represents less than 25%of the total ticket load ( 38.500 ) and draws attention even to the prior expectation of a reduced audience. The last time a Flamengo x Vasco had such a low audience was in April 2019, when 10,854 fans watched the final of the Carioca Championship , also held at Engenhão by decision of Cruzmaltino.
Choice of Engenhão repeats and harms Vasco
in both cases, Vasco opted for Engenhão instead of Maracanã or St. Januario, alleging difficulties to divide the public into 50/50 , as required by the State Regulation. In 2019 , the club justified the decision as a protest against the concession of Maracanã to Flamengo and Fluminense. Already in 2025 , the president Pedrinho revealed that he wanted to prevent the red-black from playing twice in a row in the stadium where he feels principal.
The choice, however, has resulted in defeats on both occasions and, moreover, can lead to financial loss . Official Borderô has not yet been released by ferj , but the collection should be far below the one recorded in the Guanabara Cup classic , which took 44,544 fans to Maracanã.
Factors that dismissed the audience
Low demand for tickets can be attributed to several factors:
high prices: values between R $ 50 (half-ticket) and R $ 140 (whole). For the return game, with Flamengo, the prices will be even higher, but the Maracanã will certainly have a larger audience.
Engenhão little attractive: The stadium does not usually receive large audiences , even in games from Botafogo, owner of the house. Complicated access, feeling of insecurity and the structure lower than Maracanã pushes the fans. There are complaints about bad visibility in some sectors and problems with acoustics.
Filipe Luís regrets empty bleaches
in the post-game collective, Filipe Luís commented on the bass public , but said I understand Vasco's strategy:
"I am particularly in football for the fans. I received at the Atletico Madrid and Flamengo is what moves me.
The coach also stressed that the change of place turned out to be positive for Mengão, as the team had to leave the comfort zone :
"I understand what Vasco did.
Now, Flamengo prepares for the duel of the return, which takes place next Saturday (8), at 17h45, in Maracanã. With the advantage of the draw, the Red-Black may even lose by a goal difference to secure place in another final of the Carioca Championship.
The midfielder's return to Mais Querido is ruled out; the midfielder remains at Zenit, valued at 25 million euros, and could appear at two rival teams of Mengão

Information gathered by Jorge Nicola indicates that there is no environment conducive to a possible return for Gerson to Flamengo . The relationship between the player's representatives and the club has remained strained since his turbulent departure to Russian football, making any negotiations impossible at this time.
According to the journalist, if Gerson returns to Brazilian football, Palmeiras and Botafogo are considered potential interested parties. There's also the possibility of another move from Saudi Arabia, a market that already attempted to sign the midfielder before his move to Zenit.
Valued at €25 million (approximately R$157 million) , the player has a strong relationship with Zenit, which has no intention of negotiating him at this time. This amount corresponds to the release clause paid to Mengão for his transfer. So far, there are no records of official offers from Brazilian clubs for the player.
While Gerson continues his journey in Russian football, Flamengo's board is focusing its efforts on specific renewals. José Boto is working to extend Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta's contract until 2028.
Furthermore, the manager is trying to unlock negotiations with Filipe Luís to ensure his continued coaching tenure . The initial offer was rejected, and the coach is demanding a salary increase to extend his contract.
