By winning the Brazilian Under-20 Championship title in 2023, Flamengo ensured its participation in the Copa Libertadores category, becoming the country's only representative in the tournament. The competition is scheduled to take place between March 2nd and 17th, in Montevideo, and has a surprise on Mengão's list of entries: Shola. The Nigerian player will travel with the delegation to Uruguay, having one of the last opportunities to demonstrate his talent with the red and black shirt.
Due to an injury, Shola was unable to participate in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior , the famous Copinha. A thigh injury prevented him from being part of the team for the competition. The previous year, bureaucratic issues prevented his participation in the Brazilian Championship and the Carioca Under-20 Championship.
The coach of the under-20 team, Mário Jorge, praised Shola in a recent interview. The coach highlighted that the player, who will turn 19 next Thursday (22), has characteristics that fit perfectly with Flamengo's style of play. Mário Jorge also highlighted that the difference in the type of training in Brazil compared to Africa may have been an obstacle to the athlete's adaptation so far.
"His characteristic fits very well with what the We think about the position and Flamengo. A guy with a lot of speed, he can play on both sides, both with his good and inverted foot, good finishing power... But because he's an athlete who suddenly doesn't have the condition to be exposed to The training load that we apply, as would be his adaptation anywhere, generates this type of conflict", stated Mário Jorge in January.
Flamengo is in Group C of the Libertadores, alongside Aucas (EQU), Defensor (URU) and Sporting Cristal (PER). The dates of the games and the order of the clashes have not yet been announced. Rubro-Negro, three-time professional champion, is looking for the first continental title in the under-20 category in its history.

Flamengo continues to adjust its U-20 squad, and after Lorran's departure to Pisa (ITA), it was Luiz Phellipe's turn to leave the club . The left-back was loaned to Athletico-PR, where he will be part of the Paraná team's youth academy until the end of the season.
According to YouTuber Guilherme Flazoeiro, the young man has already traveled to Curitiba for medical examinations. After passing the tests, he is expected to sign a contract with the club , which currently plays in the Brazilian Championship's Série B.
Revealed in Flamengo 's youth ranks, Luiz Phellipe rose to prominence in 2023, still in the under-17s . The following year, he established himself as one of the main players in the squad, participating in 32 matches and scoring four goals.
In 2025, the 17-year-old full-back was promoted to the U-20 team and played 12 games, but failed to find the net. His last appearance came in the away draw against Fortaleza , when he came on for 24 minutes .
Even without Luiz Phellipe, the team led by Bruno Pivetti remains focused on the season, after winning the U-20 Club World Cup . The next match takes place on Saturday (06), at 9:30 am (Brasília time), against Vasco, at home.

Young Marcelo Portela drew attention on social media after a play in which he left Vini Jr. on the ground during a futsal match . The play, which ended in a goal, went viral and catapulted the athlete to national prominence.
His talent didn't go unnoticed. Flamengo reached an agreement with Botafogo to sign the midfielder to strengthen its under-15 squad. The deal involved splitting the player's rights between the clubs. The information was initially reported by the "Flazoeiro" profile.
After the play, Vini Jr. reacted humorously and even took a photo with Portela, a gesture that further increased the video's impact. Shortly after, the number 7 returned to Spain and was instrumental in Real Madrid's La Liga performance.
In the victory over Mallorca, the Flamengo-trained striker scored the winning goal with a solo effort, dribbling past the defense and firing a cross-shot into the net. The result solidified the Brazilian's good form, which had been the target of criticism in his home country.
Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.
