According to Renan Moura, Flamengo, in a strategic decision, decided to postpone the debut of the III uniform until more emblematic moments. Contrary to what was initially planned, the new clothing will not be used in the final two rounds of the Brasileirão. The club's management is looking for scenarios that add meaning to the launch, considering the GB Cup, in Manaus or Belém, or even one of the pre-season friendlies in the United States.
The news came amid other developments in the red- black carioca. Bruno Henrique, about to turn 33, has already signed a new contract that would guarantee his stay for another three years, accompanied by a salary increase. However, the club decided to "shelve" the document, leaving it under the responsibility of football director Bruno Spindel, awaiting final approval from president Rodolfo Landim.
Internally, at Gávea, there is an atmosphere of expectation regarding the outcome of this negotiation. Some voices suggest that confirmation of the new contract will only occur after the end of the season, indicating the complexity and sensitivity of the matter. The divergent position of the financial department in relation to the terms agreed by the football department promises to add a dose of tension to the outcome.
Flamengo's behind-the-scenes reveal cautious management, prioritizing the right moment for each move. In the case of the III uniform, the decision not to use it in the last rounds of the Brasileirão highlights the importance that the club attributes to the symbolism surrounding its actions. The launch at a regional tournament, such as the GB Cup, or on international soil, during pre-season in the United States, seeks to maximize the impact and visibility of the new clothing.
This strategic approach is not unique in the world of football, but Flamengo adopts it with the conviction that every detail, including the moment of the debut of a new uniform, can contribute to the construction of the club's identity and narrative. In this way, the postponement of the premiere to more favorable scenarios highlights the management's concern with creating memorable moments, in line with greatness and the red and black tradition.
While Flamengo waits for the right moment to show the world its new shirt, Bruno Henrique's contract negotiation remains on hold. Fans eagerly await the outcome of these chapters, aware that each decision made behind the scenes contributes to building the club's future and its trajectory on the national and international sporting scene. Flamengo, more than a club, reinforces its position as a protagonist attentive to the details that shape its history.

Flamengo's own stadium project gained direct participation from Companhia Carioca de Parcerias e Investimentos (CCPAR) in the preliminary agreement signed between the club, the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, and Caixa Econômica Federal. Specializing in concessions and partnerships, the municipal public company will be responsible for investing R$29.2 million, approximately 15% of the R$199.6 million earmarked for the Gasômetro land acquisition.
The amount will be allocated as financial compensation to Caixa, the former owner of the space through the Porto Maravilha Real Estate Investment Fund , which was expropriated by the City for the auction that resulted in Flamengo 's purchase. This information is from GE.
Flamengo will receive the majority of the amount: R$170 million . This amount includes the R$138 million already paid in the 2023 auction, plus R$7.9 million for the judicial investigation, and an additional R$23.6 million, which will be paid in five installments.
Despite progress in negotiations, the project still faces obstacles. Removing the gas pipelines and clearing the land remain the responsibility of the City Hall . Governor Cláudio Castro assured the website 'MundoBola Flamengo' that the municipality is committed to these steps.
At Flamengo, the topic is being treated cautiously. The Deliberative Council is preparing to discuss ways to secure the necessary resources without compromising the institution's financial health . Contrary to what had been reported, the topic of the new stadium did not come up at the last CoDe meeting.

Flamengo and Internacional face each other this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Conmebol Libertadores. The return duel is scheduled for August 20, at Beira-Rio. Abel Braga, former coach with spells at both clubs, assessed that both teams arrive at the clash experiencing periods of instability .
Abel Braga on Flamengo and Internacional: "neither is at its best"
"It's an extremely close game. Flamengo hasn't been able to maintain a winning streak of four, five, or six wins . They're also coming off an elimination. Inter, which wasn't doing well, managed three or four 1-0 wins and made a significant leap forward. It has all the makings of a great game, but the truth is that neither team is at their best," Abel analyzed in an interview with GE.
The coach also highlighted the strengths of each team: "I hope it's a great game. Both Flamengo and Inter have the squads to put on a great show. Flamengo, with their usual high-pressing . Inter, with their surprising passing from one side to the other, especially with Wesley. It's hard to imagine Flamengo man-marking Alan Patrick," he concluded.
Under Filipe Luís, Flamengo was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, but remains the undisputed leader of the Brasileirão, despite having played a game less . In its last ten games, the team has six wins, one draw, and three losses. Internacional, meanwhile, has won four, drawn two, and lost four in the same period. The pressure on coach Roger Machado is mounting at the Rio Grande do Sul club.
The clash between Flamengo and Internacional takes place this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The decisive duel will be on August 20, at Beira-Rio. The match will be broadcast by Globo, ESPN and Disney+.
