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.
There was a possibility that the duel would be transferred to Mané Garrincha; The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the red-black public

Santos has decided to host the match against Flamengo on July 16, for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro. The São Paulo club even negotiated the sale of the home stadium to Brasília in order to raise funds, but the proposal was rejected.
There was a possibility that the match would be moved to Mané Garrincha. The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the predominantly red-and-black crowd in Brasília to raise a large amount of money. The amounts offered to Santos were not revealed. The likely "reversal" of home advantage, however, was one of the reasons for the São Paulo team's refusal.
It is worth remembering that this same company has a debt of R$587,354.00 with Flamengo for not passing on the entire amount agreed upon for the Botafogo-PB x Flamengo match, for the Copa do Brasil, which was transferred to Maranhão. The club decided to take the company to court.
Santos wanted to play the match against Flamengo at Morumbis, São Paulo's stadium. However, they were unable to obtain permission from the police , as Palmeiras is playing at Allianz Parque on the same date and the security forces prohibit games of big teams in the city on the same day. Without Morumbis, Brasília became plan B, but it was discarded by the board, which decided to keep the home stadium at Vila Belmiro.
The red-black squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday morning and will have four days off . The return is scheduled for Saturday (5), when Filipe Luís will lead the first activity focused on the return of the national calendar after the Club World Cup.
The first match will be against São Paulo, on July 12th, at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Santos x Flamengo will be Mengão's second game after returning from the USA . For the black and white team from the coast, however, it will be the first match after the break. This is because the game against Palmeiras, scheduled for the 12th, has been postponed due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup.
Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his case.

Flamengo will face São Paulo on the 12th, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the São Paulo team will be one player short. This is because midfielder Matheus Alves is close to being sold to CSKA, and will travel to Russia in the early hours of Friday. The sale will only be announced by Tricolor after medical exams and the signing of a contract.
The final details of the transfer were resolved in the last few days, and CSKA then issued tickets for Matheus Alves to travel to Russia. São Paulo already did not have the midfielder, who has not even trained at CT da Barra Funda.
Matheus Alves, 20, has become a target for CSKA in recent months. The Russians even had a video call with the midfielder before formalizing the offer to São Paulo. Since last month, however, Tricolor has been discussing the sale with the European club.
The amount will be close to 6 million euros (R$37.9 million) for 100% of the player's economic rights, 90% of which are tied to São Paulo. In recent months, Tricolor had warned the player's agents that it expected a minimum offer of 10 million euros (around R$63.2 million), but the Russian club presented an offer with a lower value.
Due to its financial and cash flow problems, São Paulo decided to proceed with the transfer even though it was below what was expected. Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his sale at home, with his family.
The 26-year-old Argentine is currently playing in Russian football, where he has a contract until the 2027 season. The player plays centrally or on the wings.

The Club World Cup has come to an end for Flamengo, but the season is still going strong. In this sense, José Boto and the red-black management are keeping an eye on the transfer market , especially on a striker. Therefore, a possible target could emerge from Russia.
The "Rubronews Tv" portal obtained the information and, according to them, confirmation from a Flamengo director that the club made an inquiry to the Argentine striker from Dynamo Moscow, Ezequiel Barco. The 26-year-old athlete has a contract with the Russian club until 2027.
It is worth remembering that Barco's name has been circulating at Flamengo since before the Club World Cup , but the talks did not progress, as the values presented initially are far from an evolution from a survey to negotiation.
The manager also confirms that there is no agreement, as reported in some portals, in fact there is not even an initial conversation , but he also confirms that the athlete is considered “interesting” and does not rule out a formal proposal.
Esequiel Barco is valued at R$102 million by Spartak Moscow, a figure that Flamengo , as reported, does not want to pay at this time. Despite this, according to the Russian media, the striker is positive about a transfer to Flamengo.
