Mayor Eduardo Paes' decision recognizes the public interest involved and provides a very important step in the realization of the project to build Flamengo's own stadium, a dream of the entire Rubro-Negra Nation.

Flamengo's board is fully aware of the importance of this work both for our club and for the revitalization of one of the most traditional areas of our city.

Our project foresees a huge financial investment in the location, capable of helping to transform the entire region surrounding the new stadium, greatly valuing the area and providing our city with a new and modern space, both for entertainment as commercial.

The city and all Rio residents will win. Flamengo and the entire Rubro-Negra Nation will win.

We would like to express our most sincere thanks to Mayor Eduardo Paes and Federal Deputy Pedro Paulo for the sensitivity they both have always had regarding this topic and for their entrepreneurial and positive vision in relation to the economic and social development of city of Rio de Janeiro," said the club's statement.

Pedro Paulo celebrates progress in business at Flamengo stadium

He has been speaking out about projects for Flamengo's stadium for years, participated in meetings with the board and celebrated the mayor's decision.

“This decree is one of the most historic things for Flamengo. Anyone who is Flamengo knows this. The other day I was talking to Landim and he said, ‘I can’t walk down the street without people no longer commenting on the games and talking about the stadium’. This is very representative of our history. I have believed in this project for a long time”, he said.

Then, he reinforced that the red-black board is aligned with the city hall's wishes. He cites difficulties in business with Caixa and ends by praising the role of Eduardo Paes in this process to build Flamengo's stadium.

“Urban renovation in the surroundings, convention center; Flamengo is absolutely in line with the city hall. We saw the difficulties in the federal government, Caixa was insisting. They are a bank. As the city hall has arrived, your pen will be decisive and this is the most important step for this dream to become a reality.”
