Peñarol [if they win the Libertadores] and Olímpia [if River wins the Libertadores] are the other teams in the running.
The places are divided into: 12 for Europe, six for South America, four for Asia, Africa and North, Central America and the Caribbean, one for Oceania and one for the host country.

The club has been closely following the coach's evolution
|
0Filipe Luís' work as a coach has been closely followed by fans and the board of Flamengo, who see in the former player a potential future coach for the club's higher categories. His experience as a professional player and the way he transmits this knowledge to young people have been praised, but concrete results are needed to consolidate his image as a promising coach. Qualifying for the Carioca U20 final is seen as a fundamental step in this process.
Boavista, on the other hand, arrives at the clash with less pressure, but willing to surprise. Saquarema's team has already shown its ability by seeking a draw in the first game and promises to make life difficult for Crias do Ninho in Gávea. The strategy should be similar to that used in the first game: defensive compaction and quick attacks. If they manage to hold off Flamengo in the first minutes and remain organized defensively, Boavista can grow in the match and try to exploit any red-black errors to seek classification.
As a result, Flamengo needs extra attention, especially when they have the ball. Avoiding passing errors and maintaining concentration throughout the match will be key points in not giving your opponent chances. Players like Caio Garcia and Rayan Lucas, who command the midfield, will play an essential role in distributing the plays and controlling the pace of the game. In attack, expectations are on Felipe Teresa and Rafael Couto, who need to be more effective to transform opportunities into goals and avoid a decision in the last minutes.
If Flamengomanage to overcome Boavista and guarantee the place in the final, they will face a strong opponent, be it Vasco or Fluminense. Both teams have a tradition in grassroots football and always make life difficult for Rubro-Negro in decisive clashes. Therefore, in addition to focusing on this Thursday's duel, Filipe Luís and his team also need to start planning possible adjustments for the final. Vasco, for example, has a fast attack and a solid defense, while Fluminense is known for its touch of the ball and ability to control the game.
