Last Friday (22), the Flamengo took another significant step towards the old dream of Nation: its own stadium. Around 400 members gathered at the Gávea Nobre Hall to check out the preliminary architectural and engineering study. The event was attended by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-president General, Rodrigo Dunshee, vice-president of Heritage, Marcos Bodin, and the club's CEO, Reinaldo Belotti.
The project, developed by Arena Events + Venues, foresees an investment of R$ 1.93 billion and covers stages such as survey, foundations, structure, parking and landscaping. Delivery is scheduled for November 15, 2029, the club's anniversary.
DETAILS PROJECT
With capacity for approximately 80 thousand fans, the stadium will be a true "red and black cauldron". It will feature a "new general" for affordable tickets and a shorter distance between fans and the pitch, providing greater proximity to the game. The North Stand will have acoustics designed to amplify the sound by up to 16 decibels, offering a unique experience to fans.
The structure will have 60 meters in height, surpassing Maracanã, with 27 elevators and 16 main access ramps. The stadium will also feature 6,200 m² of LED panels, including an external screen.
FEASIBILITY FINANCIAL
The board reinforced that the project will be financed by new lines of revenue, totaling R$ 2.467 billion. sources include:
Naming rights: estimated at R$1.5 billion per 20 years.
Perpetual chairs: R$ 187 million from the sale of 1,000 units.
Boxes and chairs in advance: R$ 283 million.
Constructive potential of Gávea: valued at R$ 497 million.
According to Landim, "this is a legacy for the Nation, the result of years of planning and responsible work."
COMMITMENT TO THE CLUB
Management guarantees that the project will be executed without compromising Mais Querido's finances. All stages will follow strict compliance processes, aligned with the principles of transparency and integrity established by the club.
Rodrigo Dunshee emphasized: "The Flamengo does not need an owner. This club belongs to the Nation, and our commitment is to a stadium that preserves its grandeur and independence."

Rodrigo Muniz's goalscoring form in England is starting to stir up activity in the European market . The former Flamengo player has become Atalanta's target, and a potential transfer has Fulham looking for replacements. Their main target is Rasmus Hojlund, currently on the decline at Manchester United .
According to The Independent, the Dane lost his place after the arrival of coach Rúben Amorim and saw competition increase with the signing of Benjamin Sesko , bought for around €80 million. Signed from Atalanta for £72 million, Hojlund didn't perform as expected: he scored just 14 goals in 62 Premier League games. United are now reportedly willing to sell him for £40 million.
Atalanta could offer a similar amount for Muniz. The Flamengo -born striker has had two consistent seasons at Fulham, scoring 17 Premier League goals . Last Saturday (16), he was decisive when he scored in stoppage time against Brighton, securing a draw in the season opener.
If the sale goes through, Fulham will have the cash to invest heavily in a new number 9 , and Hojlund emerges as the main option. For United, the deal would represent a chance to reduce the financial losses associated with the player.
The next few days of the transfer window promise to be decisive for Fulham, Atalanta, Manchester United, and for Rodrigo Muniz, who could begin a new chapter in his career in Serie A. While negotiations are still pending, the youngster is preparing for the second round of the Premier League, when the Cottagers face Manchester United.

Flamengo's finances continue to be in the spotlight in sports news. After the announcement of Betano's million-dollar sponsorship , the topic even resonated outside Brazil. Last Sunday (17), Peñarol (URU) director Evaristo González commented on the salaries paid by the Rio de Janeiro club .
"Only Flamengo's reserves earn more than our entire team" - Evaristo González, Peñarol
"The desire to come and win is evident. Flamengo 's reserves alone earn more than our entire team . (Coach Diego) Aguirre gives you this mystique. He's Peñarol, he knows the history. He knows what he's achieving," González said in an interview with Uruguay's 770 AM radio station.
Despite the financial disparity, Peñarol has already shown strength against Flamengo on the field. In 2024, the Uruguayan team eliminated the Rubro-Negro from the Copa Libertadores , including a 1-0 victory at Maracanã in the quarterfinals.
Flamengo and Peñarol could face each other again in this edition of the continental tournament . For the duel to take place in the semifinals, Flamengo must overcome Internacional in the round of 16 and then eliminate Estudiantes (ARG) or Cerro Porteño (PAR) in the quarterfinals.
On the other side, Peñarol will face Racing (ARG) and, if they qualify, will face Vélez Sarsfield (ARG) or Fortaleza . Like Flamengo, the Uruguayans won the first leg 1-0 and will need a draw this week to advance.
Before thinking about a reunion with the Uruguayans, Flamengo has a decisive challenge this Wednesday (20), against Internacional , at Beira-Rio, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The clash will be broadcast by Rede Globo, ESPN and Disney+.
