Having a qualified cast is very good. At this point, Flamengo has nothing to complain about, as they have the best squad in South America. However, there is a bad side to this story. This is because the Gávea team leads the ranking of Brasileirão clubs that had the most players called up by the teams for this FIFA Date.
Rubro-negro leads the ranking with seven selectable players. São Paulo, with six, appears in second, with Palmeiras completing the podium, with three. Piquerez, cut due to flight date confusion, was excluded from the survey.
Of the 20 clubs in Serie A, 16 had at least one player called up. Atlético-GO, Cuiabá, Juventude and Vitória were the only teams from the first national division that passed this question.
In total, 38 players who played in the Brasileirão were called up by national teams. In this sense, all from South America. The Brazilian team, with nine representatives, is the one that most sought players from the national elite, followed by Ecuador, with seven. Argentina, in turn, did not call up any athlete who plays in the Brasileirão.
No absences at the moment
The clubs Brazilians will not be missing out on this FIFA Date, which started yesterday and runs until the 26th. The state championships will resume in their final stages from the 27th. In the Copa América, which will be held between June 20th and July 14th, the Brasileirão will not be stopped, and the players called up will miss at least seven games.

Right-back Wesley ended his career at Flamengo after 136 appearances, four goals, and six assists, leaving the club with "a full heart." In an interview with GOAT, the player spoke about the mix of happiness and sadness upon accepting the transfer to Roma , fulfilling his dream of playing in Europe.
" I said I wouldn't be sad. But that day, it felt like I was saying goodbye, and part of me was. A horrible feeling, of sadness. I called my wife... ", the athlete revealed.
The player acknowledged that his departure was also due to a turbulent time at Flamengo , but highlighted that the experience at Gávea was essential for his growth as an athlete and as a person .
Roma invested €25 million (R$161.4 million at the time) plus €5 million (R$32.2 million) in targets to secure Wesley. Despite having played in only two matches for the Italian club so far, the full-back has already demonstrated his attacking ability, scoring a goal while playing in defense.
Flamengo returned to training last Friday afternoon (5), at Ninho do Urubu, after receiving four days off, and began preparing for the rest of the season. Rubro-Negro returns to the field on September 14 to face Juventude , at 4 pm, at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.
With the aim of maintaining a competitive group for the season, the Mais Querido board is looking to renew contracts and strengthen the team.

After focusing on Arrascaeta, Flamengo now turns its attention to goalkeeper Agustín Rossi. A regular starter, Rossi has the coach's full confidence and represents a key player in the Rubro-Negro's sporting project . According to reports, the board is seeking to extend his contract to ensure stability in the position.
Meanwhile, the club is also monitoring the market. A new goalkeeper is being sought to eventually replace Matheus Cunha , who is not in the plans and has already agreed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro for next season.
During a press conference last month, the number 1 preferred to be cautious when commenting on the topic. "These are things that are being discussed, but nothing is resolved yet. Obviously, on a personal level, I'm very happy at Flamengo, very content. I hope to stay here for many years, but these are things that will evolve," said the Argentine.
Negotiations with Adidas and Betano aren't limited to marketing: they directly impact Flamengo's ability to maintain competitive salaries and retain talent . Financial and sporting alignment is considered vital for the club to continue competing for titles and maintaining its strength in Brazilian football.

Flamengo's board believes the impact of the deal with Betano has changed the club's market position. Therefore, the board has opened negotiations to update the amounts received from Adidas , its sports equipment supplier since 2013.
The contract was recently renewed and runs until 2029. Currently, it guarantees Flamengo a minimum salary of R$44 million per season, paid in three annual installments. With performance targets and bonuses, revenue could approach R$90 million per year , with a projected average of around R$70 million. These figures are expected to be revised to reflect the club's growth.
At the start of the season, Flamengo signed the largest master sponsorship deal in Brazilian football history with Betano. The fixed value is R$268.5 million annually, with potential increases to nearly R$1 billion when bonuses for performance, sales, and engagement are factored in.
The package includes contributions on different fronts:
Football: R$220 million fixed per year
Olympic sports: R$12 million
Properties such as LEDs and VIP boxes: R$ 10 million
Flamengo TV: R$10 million
Retail: R$10 million fixed, plus participation in the sale of uniforms and new customer registrations.
While taking care of commercial issues, the team led by Filipe Luís focuses on the Brasileirão. The next commitment will be this Sunday (14), at 4 pm, against Juventude , at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, for the 23rd round of the competition.
