The Flamengofaces significant challenges in trying to build its new stadium in the Gasmetro region of Rio de Janeiro. The land designated for the work houses a large infrastructure belonging to Naturgy, a multinational company responsible for distributing piped gas in the state. The removal of these facilities could generate costs estimated at around R$100 million, an amount that will have to be borne by the CRF. The information is from the O Globo portal. 

At the end of August, Naturgy informed the Energy and Basic Sanitation Regulatory Agency of the State of Rio (Agenersa) about the impasse involving the land. The area located at Avenida São Cristóvão, nº 1,200, includes warehouses, laboratories and a Regulation and Measurement Station, essential for the supply of gas to the North, South and Center zones of Rio de Janeiro, serving approximately 400 thousand consumers.

Agenersa requested that the concessionaire present, by mid-September, detailed reports on the costs and time required to relocate these structures. It is estimated that complete removal will require an additional investment of R$ 100 million.


NEGOTIATIONS WITH CITY HALL AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Naturgy representatives have held informal conversations with City Hall from Rio to clarify the situation. During these dialogues, it became clear that the club will be responsible for the expenses related to the removal of the facilities. One of the annexes to the land purchase and sale contract stipulates that Flamengo must bear the extra costs, although the document does not determine a maximum value.


RISKS INVOLVED IN STRUCTURE REMOVAL

In addition to the high cost, the removal of gas installations presents significant risks. The concessionaire warned of the possibility of accidents and gas shortages in large areas of the city, such as Greater Tijuca and the South Zone, if the operation is not carried out correctly. The gas pipeline that passes through the site operates at high pressure, which makes the operation delicate and risky both for the continuity of the service and for the safety of workers.

Next season is promising. That's at least in terms of Dates. The calendar defined by Conmebol for 2025 has some points that demand the clubs' attention. Mainly those who usually qualify for continental tournaments. Who plays in the initial stages

For Brazilian clubs, who enter the second preliminary stage of the Libertadores , the competition starts on February 19th. Whoever is going to play in this knockout stage needs to be minimally organized so as not to fall midway.


Concentrated group stage

Whoever plays in the Libertadores will have an intense group stage. There will be six games in two months, between April and May. The competition will fill six of the nine possible midweeks in the period.


Long break in the Libertadores

On the other hand, the interval between the end of the group stage and the beginning of the round of 16 will last practically two and a half months. The base date for the start of the knockout stage is August 13th.

Are you going to the World Cup?

Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense are already confirmed in the FIFA World Cup. The competition takes place between June 15th and July 13th. It may be that someone falls early and receives an unwanted refreshment. But this depends on how the CBF will fit the national calendar into the scope made by Conmebol.

South American Playoff x Libertadores maintained

The CBF even tried take away, but the playoff between the third-placed teams in the Libertadores and the second-placed teams in the Sudamericana group stage is maintained. They already take place from July 15/16. Therefore, very close to the end of the World Cup.

Fifa date attached to the World Cup< /b>

Preparation for the Club World Cup may be affected by national team call-ups. There is a FIFA date (qualifiers games) at the beginning of June. The teams will meet between the 2nd and 10th. The Club World Cup starts five days later.

What will be the CBF's response?

Now the size of the problem will be effectively measured when the CBF fulfills the task of defining what the 2025 calendar will be like.

< Will everything stop during the World Cup? Will you preserve, even partially, the FIFA dates? How big are the States? The fact is that the year will not have more than 365 days.
