FLAMENGO CLOSES NEW SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT FOR THE CLUB’S WOMEN’S SPORTS

Reading is the basis for learning, expanding vocabulary, improving textual understanding and stimulating critical and analytical skills . To work on this issue, the project "Come read, come read, come read!", created by the Social Responsibility and Education departments of the Flamengo Museum, was created, whose purpose is to visit community libraries and cultural facilities in peripheral areas, with storytelling activities of stories, quizzes and book donations for children and teenagers. The objective is to awaken a love of reading, enable greater contact between children and books, as well as contribute to the transformation of community libraries into spaces for culture, learning and leisure.

So, this Friday (19), the project “Come read, come read, come read!” was present at the Wagner Vinício Community Library, in Rio das Pedras, West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, created by community residents who wanted a place where their children could spend their time while they were not at school. The library's objective is to encourage reading in the Rio das Pedras community, being the only cultural space focused on literature in the locality. The action brought together around 30 children and young people between the ages of 8 and 13.

“The kids had very high expectations, mainly because it was a Flamengo project. It was really cool to receive the "Vem Ler" project, as most of the children are Flamengo fans. It is always very beneficial to host external activities so that children can have new experiences and the activity you carried out completed the work we have already done in the library, mainly on the importance of concentration, group work and using creativity in order to overcome challenges. weaknesses: shyness, concentration, etc. It was amazing to welcome you! The kids loved it and so did we”, said Simone Araújo, mediator at the Wagner Vinício community library.

In the action, the children and young people present received Flamengo books, backpacks and cups.

For the next few months, the project "Come read, come read, come read!" will be present in other community libraries in the city.

At the moment, three candidates for Flamengo's presidency are known to the fans: Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Rodrigo Dunshee and Maurício Gomes de Mattos. However, a fourth way is to come, from the group Fla Tradição e Juventude, led by Leonardo Ribeiro, "Capitão Léo", who had problems with Mais Querido's idol, Zico, in 2010.

“The agenda is the following: launch of a candidacy in defense of the co-owner to defend Flamengo's traditions. A true independent candidacy. Because what we are seeing there are three different candidates,” said Léo, on social media.

The group is scheduling a meeting next Thursday (1) to define who the candidate will be. Leader of the Fla Tradição e Juventude group, Captain Léo is not a member. In other words, he will not be able to run for president of Mais Querido. The former leader of Torcida Jovem Fla was expelled from membership after days of suspensions in less than a year. In one of the cases, he was involved in a fight with Luiz Eduardo Baptista, a candidate for the position of president.

In 2010, Leonardo Ribeiro stated that the contract signed between Flamengo and Centro de Futebol Zico would be harmful to the club's interests. This is because, according to him, players who were from CFZ started to reach the Rubro-Negro youth categories, gaining more space than those who were already there. 

Thus, due to the accusation, Zico filed a lawsuit against Leonardo. After the red-black idol's attitude, the former partner retreated and said he was misunderstood. In 2010, Galinho was football director at Mais Querido.

The Brazilian women's team debuts at the Olympic Games against Nigeria, in Group C, in Bordeaux. The ball rolls at 2pm (Brasília time). The Brazilian women's team has already faced Nigeria twice, with two victories, both in official competitions. In the 1999 World Cup, 4-3 for Brazil in extra time, after 3-3 in the 90 minutes, in the quarter-finals. At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, 3-1 for Brazil in the group stage.
