Flamengo confirmed its spot in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals by eliminating Internacional at the Beira-Rio stadium. Besides remaining firmly in the fight for its fourth continental championship, the club also increased its bonuses this season. The total is already approaching R$200 million, solidifying the international weight of the red-and-black squad.
Progress in the continental tournament reinforces a significant financial landscape. With the Club World Cup, Copa do Brasil, and Libertadores, Flamengo has already earned R$197.45 million in fees and bonuses for participation, victories, and qualification . The amount was calculated based on official competition data, converted to reais, and compared to the club's budget for the season.
Club World Cup
Libertadores
Brazil Cup
Eliminated in the round of 16 by Atlético-MG, Flamengo accumulated R$5,953,500 :
Carioca Championship
The two-time state champion, the club, received no prize money, as the tournament maintains a model that distributes only TV revenue . The title, therefore, generated sporting impact, but not financial impact. The Carioca has not offered any prize money to the competition's winner since 2020.
The club's board of directors projected bold but realistic goals in its 2025 budget: reaching the Club World Cup group stage, the Copa do Brasil semifinals, the Libertadores semifinals, and finishing runner-up in the Brasileirão . With the current campaign, the club has already met some of its expectations and maintains its ambition to end the year with even higher numbers—and, who knows, with more trophies.
