Despite the project for its own stadium, Flamengo's board intends to hold the classics against Rio de Janeiro's rivals at Maracanã. That is at least the idea now while the arena proposal is still in its initial phase of development.
Rio de Janeiro City Hall expropriated the land of Gasologista, in the Center, which belonged to a real estate fund managed by Caixa Econômica Federal. The objective is to sell the area to Flamengo, which intends to build an arena with between 75 thousand and 80 thousand seats. At the same time, the club has just obtained, together with Fluminense, the Maracanã concession for 20 years. Games to be held by both teams at the stadium were put up for bidding.
Flamengo's board of directors received a recommendation that classics against rivals from Rio could involve vandalism if held at the new stadium. There is indeed this type of consequence in some of the São Paulo games. Therefore, there is a view that it would be better to keep these matches at Maracanã.
All other clashes, including games against big players from outside Rio, would be at the new stadium. Currently, Flamengo plays all games against Fluminense and Vasco, as home and away, at Maracanã. Only the away games against Botafogo are at the Nilton Santos Stadium.
Obviously, holding derbies at Maracanã helps the future maintenance of waste picker sales at the stadium. At the same time, it reduces the number of matches available for the new arena. This is the plan of the current board that initiated the stadium project. It is not known what the idea of future administrations will be.

Fluminense is in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. With goals from Cano and Hércules, the Tricolor beat Inter Milan this Monday, 2-0, and sealed their advance to the knockout stages of the tournament. Renato Gaúcho's team now awaits the winner of Manchester City vs. Al-Hilal.
SUMMARY
Fluminense needed little time to open the scoring against Inter. Two minutes in, Arias received the ball from Martinelli, advanced down the right and crossed. The ball deflected off Bastoni, and Cano, who completed 200 games for Tricolor today, took advantage of the chance to score the first goal of the match.
The team from Rio also missed a chance to extend their lead with Samuel Xavier, who shot just wide of Sommer's goal. Ignácio managed to score the second goal after a three-touch header in the box, but the move was disallowed due to the defender being offside. Inter had their best chances with long balls behind the defense. In one of the most dangerous plays for the Italians, Mkhitaryan received the ball in the box on the left and passed it to Dimarco, but Fábio saved it . Before the end of the first half, there was a brief scuffle between Renato Gaúcho and Mkhitaryan.
The first big chance of the second half came again in Fluminense's favor and through Cano's feet, in the 11th minute. Minutes later, Arias forced Sommer to perform a miracle with a bomb from outside the area. As the second half progressed, following the substitution rounds, Inter Milan grew in the game and began to put pressure on Fluminense - there were at least five clear chances. De Vrij missed an unbelievable shot in the six-yard box, and Lautaro had three clear chances in a three-minute interval - one of which hit the post.
In injury time, Hércules sealed the victory over Inter. Samuel Xavier took a throw-in, De Vrij headed the ball and the ball went past everyone before falling to the Tricolor midfielder. Hércules controlled the ball and invaded the area before shooting with his left foot, missing Sommer's goal! End of story in Charlotte.
AND NOW?
Fluminense now has to face either Manchester City or Al-Hilal. If the English team gets through, it will be a repeat of the Club World Cup in 2023, where the tricolor succumbed to the power of the blue side of Manchester, with Guardiola and his team.

Flamengo does not accept content considered false and issues a statement repudiating the journalist! Check it out
The club denies a report by reporter Diogo Dantas, about the red-black board regarding the lineup chosen by Filipe Luís against Bayern

On Monday afternoon, Flamengo issued an official statement, repudiating and denying an article published after the elimination to Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup , which said that the red-black board would not have liked Arrascaeta's entry as a starter, that is, criticizing the line-up of coach Filipe Luís.
FOLLOW THE NOTE IN FULL
" The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo repudiates the content published by journalist Diogo Dantas in his column in the newspaper O Globo, this Monday (30), entitled Behind the scenes: Flamengo's board feared that Filipe Luís would field Arrascaeta and disapproved of the strategy against Bayern. The text in question does not find any support in the reality of Flamengo's football environment and lacks veracity in its premises and conclusions.
Unfortunately, this is yet another example of a practice that is already recurrent, which insists on transforming speculation and personal impressions into “news”, with the sole objective of generating engagement, clicks and audience, even if this compromises the credibility of the information and respect for the professionals involved.
Since the beginning of 2025, Flamengo has adopted an attitude of absolute professionalism in football, without any interference from managers in its routine and environment. The team's delegation at the FIFA Club World Cup is an example of this, since all 78 members are Flamengo employees, which reinforces the discrepancy between what was published and the truth.
The club reaffirms its full confidence in De Arrascaeta, one of the team's leaders, who is enjoying one of his best seasons at Flamengo, and also in the decisions and leadership of coach Filipe Luís, who has full autonomy to make decisions. The season's numbers leave no doubt: first place in the Brazilian Championship with the number 10 leading the competition's scoring charts, titles in the Carioca and the Brazilian Super Cup, in addition to qualifying for the round of 16 of the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the Brazilian Cup.
We will remain firm in our commitment to the truth, to respecting our athletes and to valuing the serious work that has been done by all the professionals at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo."
RUBRO-NEGRO LEAVES FOR RIO THIS MONDAY
The delegation will depart for Rio de Janeiro this Monday (30), at 10 pm (Brasília time), with arrival scheduled for 6:30 am. Disembarkation will take place at the international hall of RIOGaleão Airport. The team will return to training on Saturday morning, at 9:30 am, at CT George Helal.
