FLAMENGO CONGRATULATES MARACANÃ ON HIS 74 YEARS AND RECEIVES CHARGES

Maracanã turns 74 this Sunday (16). In this round, Flamengo plays away from home, and therefore, will not be able to celebrate up close. But the team's profile made a special publication to pay homage to the stadium. The red and black player recalled that he built his victorious history at Maracanã, and praises the fans by mentioning that the Jornalista Mário Filho Stadium looks better with the club's colors and the presence of its fans, congratulating the home of the unforgettable.

“Our home for 74 years! The ground where we build our history. Where we shed our sweat. A temple where we praise our heroes and experience moments of transcendence. Galaxies, planets and cosmic dust revolve around Maracanã, the epicenter of the universe. Always more beautiful when colored with red-and-black emotion by the biggest crowd in the world! Happy birthday, Maracanã”, writes the club's profile.

In addition, Flamengo published, alongside the caption, a video narrated by Emerson Santos, narrator of Fla TV, with images of historic moments at the stadium, such as Rondinelli's goal in 1978, which changed the club's history, and Petkovic's foul against Vasco.

Fans comment on the post about Maracanã asking for construction Flamengo's new stadium

Many fans showed love for Maracanã and celebrated the date, but there were many who asked for the club to move to its own stadium. The issue is not new today, and Flamengo is determined. But the delay for new information and the purchase of the Gasometer land, where the club wants to build and which has been dragging on, causes some demands to arrive.

“That said, Gasometer has left”, asks Matheus.

“Our future old home”, dreams Miguel.

“The new Maracanã is a bad stadium. Made for gourmet FIFA gaming. The stadium is so poorly designed that 6,000 seats are lost to isolate the visiting fans. It's bizarre. It needs a new stadium”, criticizes a Flamengo fan.

“That said, we want our own stadium”, comments another fan.

“What I want to know is the real home, a stadium own, built with its own resources”, asks Tarcio.

Flamengo meets with city hall for its own stadium

According to a source from Flamengo's board of directors that a new meeting takes place on Monday (17). President Rodolfo Landim has an appointment with Eduardo Paes, mayor of Rio de Janeiro. It is known that the intention is to talk about the construction of its own stadium in the city's port area, but the specific theme and focus of the meeting was not revealed.

In addition, Cacau Cotta, director of External Relations of the club, said during game 4 of the NBB final, when FlaBasquete finished second after losing to Franca, that Landim will bring news on the matter soon, and a big announcement could be made: “The president will announce in soon, okay? The president and mayor have updates. Let them talk, which is better. Good things are coming”, he promises.
