Flamengo was defeated 4-2 by Bayern Munich last Sunday (29), but the result on the field was in the background for TV Globo. The broadcaster reached a peak of 38 audience points during the broadcast, a number that highlights the strength of Rubro-Negro on open television.


The mark represents a new record for Globo in broadcasting the Club World Cup in Rio de Janeiro. For comparison purposes, the competition's average is around 22 points, meaning Flamengo surpassed this average by 16 points.


FLAMENGO HAS A METEORIC GAME AGAINST THE GERMANS


Despite the setback for the Germans, the audience did not feel the impact. The match was the most anticipated involving Brazilians in this edition of the Club World Cup, and the high interest was confirmed in expressive numbers. Even on a Sunday with other appealing games, such as PSG vs. Inter Miami, which featured Lionel Messi facing his former team, Flamengo stood out.

A HISTORIC HEARING


The match between the French and the Americans scored 18 points, exactly 20 less than the clash between Rubro-Negro and Bayern. The last time TV Globo had recorded such high audience ratings was in November 2023, during the Libertadores final between Fluminense and Boca Juniors. At the time, the number also reached 38 points. Flamengo , therefore, equaled this peak even in a match without a title at stake.

This data reinforces the club's national reach and the engagement of fans in any competitive scenario. The Club World Cup does not have the same emotional appeal as a continental final, but that did not stop Flamengo fans from watching, even if it was on their screens. Flamengo's performance throughout the tournament had a direct impact on Globo's audience ratings . With each match, the numbers increased. Against Los Angeles FC, for example, the game before the match against Bayern, Globo had already reached 33 points by then, the highest rating in the last 19 months on Tuesday nights.

Flamengo has received a high-value offer from Superbet to fill the master sponsorship slot currently held by Pixbet. The information was released by Poder360. Under the current contract, Pixbet holds the right to match any offer before the club signs a new agreement , thus ensuring the possibility of maintaining the exclusive jersey design.


This clause is included in the contract signed between the parties, which prevents a direct sponsor change without the current partner having the opportunity to match the amounts. It's now up to Pixbet to decide whether to continue with the main sponsorship or make way for Superbet.


PIXBET HAS THE LARGEST CONTRACT IN BRAZIL


Pixbet currently holds the most valuable master sponsorship contract in Brazilian soccer, with staggered annual payments: R$105 million in the first year, R$115 million in the second, and R$125 million in the third . The club also receives bonuses related to FlaBet, which is featured on another part of the kit, reinforcing the importance of partnerships with the betting industry for annual revenue.

CLUB ANALYZES SUPERBET OFFER


The board carefully evaluates all aspects of the proposal, weighing the financial and strategic impact of the change. Ensuring economic stability is seen as essential to maintaining competitiveness in national and international tournaments.

While discussing the issue off the pitch, Flamengo is preparing to face Internacional this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The result will be crucial for the club's ambitions in the competition.

Flamengo and Internacional face each other this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Coach Filipe Luís will not have Arrascaeta, suspended, and will have more absences due to injury, but there is an expectation for the return of important names.


Mengão should have the return of Jorginho, who was absent from the team in the last match in the Brazilian Championship, when the team beat Mirassol 2-1. Nico De La Cruz, who has not played since July 16 due to a left knee injury , trained with the squad on Monday (11) and could be included. Training on Tuesday (12) will define his presence among those called up.


PROBABLE LINEUP


The most likely lineup for the match is: Rossi; Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Emerson Royal; Allan, Jorginho, Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Plata; Pedro. Coach: Filipe Luís.

Among the confirmed absences are Erick Pulgar, recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, and Danilo, who is undergoing treatment for a hamstring injury in his right thigh. Arrascaeta is also out due to suspension after receiving his third yellow card in the group stage against Deportivo Táchira.


GAME GAINS WEIGHT

The ball kicks off at 9:30 p.m. at Maracanã Stadium , and a packed house is expected to push Flamengo toward the return leg, scheduled for the 20th at Beira-Rio. The Rio de Janeiro team's goal is to build a comfortable lead and take advantage of the home advantage to put pressure on their opponents.
