According to information from GE, the second edition of the Flamengo Adidas Cup, scheduled for December, promises to be a milestone in this process. The competition will bring together ten teams, including representatives from different continents, and will focus on developing young talent in football. The Flamengo Adidas Cup, therefore, is not just a grassroots football tournament, but a powerful internationalization tool for the Flamengo brand and a vehicle for the development and cultural enrichment of young talents. As clubs gather at Ninho do Urubu in December, the world of football will be keeping an eye on this groundbreaking event, which promises to shape the future of the sport.

Unlike the previous edition, which saw the participation of seven teams, the 2023 edition of the Flamengo Adidas Cup will have ten teams competing. The new guests include European clubs such as Arsenal from England and Midtjylland from Denmark, as well as the North American team Orlando City, and South American representatives such as Colo-Colo from Chile, Santos Laguna from Mexico, Independiente Del Valle from Ecuador and Atlético Nacional of Colombia. São Paulo, a Brazilian team with great tradition, closes the guest list.

The tournament, which will be played in the under-16 category, presents an innovative approach. Flamengo will have two teams in action: one made up of 16-year-olds, representing the main team, and the other made up of players up to 15 years old. The competition will take place between the 11th and 17th of December, at Ninho do Urubu, Flamengo's training center, which will also serve as a meeting place for the delegations.

In addition to the games, Flamengo's schedule Adidas Cup includes cultural tours, providing visiting clubs the opportunity to explore the iconic Maracanã Stadium and the recently opened Flamengo Museum, located in Gávea. It is worth noting that the event will also represent the near completion of the expansion works at Ninho do Urubu, with the delivery of fields 4, 5 and 6 for the opening of the competition, while fields 7, 8 and 9 will be used for warm-ups and preparations.


The Flamengo Adidas Cup goes beyond its simple sporting scope. It aims to be a vehicle for the internationalization of the brand, but also a means for cultural enrichment and the exchange of knowledge in the world of football. It is in this sense that the competition seeks the development of athletes through cultural exchange that allows the absorption of new sporting methodologies. And it's not just the players who benefit from this process.


Just like in the previous edition, members of Flamengo's technical committees will be present to accompany the other teams and participate in a series of lectures organized by each technical committee . The idea is to promote the exchange of information about sporting methodologies and trends in different cultures. The event will attract the attention of scouts from European clubs, including giants such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, signaling the international impact of this competition.

According to Vitor Zanelli, vice-president of grassroots football, women's football and futsal of Flamengo, the Flamengo Adidas Cup is more than a simple tournament: "Flamengo always travels to compete in numerous competitions abroad with the youth teams. Last year we had the idea and brought it to Brazil. We managed to bring European and South clubs Americans. We showed the modern structure of our CT and our culture effectively. We held a tournament of the highest level, never promoted in Brazil. Due to the great success, nothing more fair than to continue this."


The Flamengo Adidas Cup project is not limited to the present, but also seeks to shape the future. It was the first international tournament for grassroots football clubs to be organized in Brazil, an audacious initiative that had the support of Adidas, the club's official sponsor, and the endorsement of the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FERJ). The inaugural edition of the competition, in which Arsenal participated, sealed a close relationship between the clubs and inspired similar events, such as the international competition in England that Flamengo participated in in May 2023.

Although, While Arsenal and Midtjylland are the only European representatives for now, other clubs on the continent have expressed interest in future editions. Teams from Portugal, Spain and Wolverhampton, from England, are among those interested. Flamengo's project is clear: each year, to further expand this competition which, since its inception, has already grown by adding two clubs to the list of participants.
