The Flamengo will finally separate the sponsorship contracts Flamengo and BRB signed a three-year contract in 2020 that provided the red-black brand for the creation of the virtual bank Nação BRB Fla. The partnership provided that Flamengo would receive at least R$32 million annually, plus 50% of Nação BRB's profit that exceeded this amount. Despite the success of the partnership, with the opening of more than 3 million accounts, this amount was never exceeded and Flamengo only received the fixed amount. Although officially it was not a sponsorship contract, the agreement also provided for the display of the BRB brand on the chest of Flamengo's shirt, in addition to other prerogatives granted to the so-called “master sponsor”.
At the beginning of 2023, Flamengo and BRB obtained authorization from the Central Bank to create a new bank, which would separate Nação BRB Fla from BRB. Flamengo's intention is to profit from the sale of its stake in this bank. Thus, when it renewed for the first time with BRB, in the middle of last year, the contract was for just six months on the grounds that the shorter partnership would be to finalize the separation of sponsorship and partnership contracts. However, the negotiations were not concluded and the Deliberative Council voted at the beginning of this year for a new renewal of the joint contract, but now for three months.
The difference is that, with Pixbet's superior proposal for the master sponsorship, the BRB sponsorship was moved to the shoulders of the shirt. The new sponsorship contract keeps the BRB brand on its shoulders until December 2025. MRN was unable to confirm the values, but Flamengo Marketing's target for the property is R$25 million annually – BRB has already paid R$6 .2 million for the contract until March.
The contract for the establishment of the Nação BRB Fla bank has a longer period, the definition of which is still one of the points that led to the contract not being signed. A third contract regulates Flamengo's use of BRB banking services. Since 2020, the club has maintained an account with BRB and is obliged to give preference to the bank when seeking loans. Although the club currently does not have any bank loans, the situation could soon change if it decides to finance the construction of its stadium on its own.

The Tricolor de Aço will have absences across all positions: goalkeeper, defense, full-backs, midfield, and attack. Nine players are injured and four are suspended, forcing the coach to resort to an alternative formation to face the league leaders.
Among the players missing are Luciano Juba, Rodrigo Nestor, Santiago Arias, and Sanabria , as well as players recovering from injuries like Kanu and Erick. The situation forces Ceni to assemble a new defense and even consider potential debutants.
With so many absences, Rogério Ceni should send an alternative team to the field against Flamengo : Ronaldo; Gilberto, Fredi, Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (or Michel Araújo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.

Corinthians idol, the goalkeeper was fundamental in Mengão's title in 2020 and shone again against Rubro-Negro in the Brasileirão

One of Corinthians ' greatest idols, goalkeeper Cássio has a special chapter in Flamengo's recent history, even though he never wore the red-and-black jersey. In 2020, his performance in Corinthians' draw against Internacional was crucial in the Rio de Janeiro club's Brasileirão title victory.
In the final round of that championship, Flamengo and Internacional were neck and neck for the trophy. Flamengo lost to São Paulo at Morumbi Stadium and, to retain the trophy , depended on a slip-up from their Rio Grande do Sul rival. At Beira-Rio Stadium, Corinthians held on for a draw thanks to Cássio's saves, preventing the Colorado victory and confirming the title for Mengão.
The episode has remained etched in the memories of Flamengo fans. In a recent interaction, a Flamengo influencer reminded the goalkeeper of the feat. " You know you're a national idol, right?" he asked. In a relaxed tone, Cássio replied: "Yes, we won that title, didn't we? Two thousand and…?" The fan added: "2020 !"
Last Thursday (2), in a duel valid for the Brazilian Championship, Cássio was once again highlighted against Flamengo, now defending Cruzeiro . The goalkeeper made important saves at Maracanã , guaranteeing a goalless draw and frustrating the red-black team's search for three more points.
With no time to lament the result, Flamengo is already concentrating its efforts on the next match of the competition. This Sunday (5), the team led by Filipe Luís faces Bahia, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be valid for the 27th round and will be broadcast exclusively on the Premiere channel.
