Flamengo president Luiz Eduardo Baptista , known as Bap, indicated that the forecast for the inauguration of the new stadium in Gasômetro in November 2029 is unlikely . During a meeting of the Deliberative Council, held on the evening of last Thursday (20) in Gávea, he stated that the deadline stipulated by the former management “is very difficult” to be met.
The club is currently analyzing the economic and structural feasibility of the project . Two reports are awaited to help with decision-making. The first, from the company Arena Events + Venues, addresses the technical aspects of the construction, including impacts on the surrounding area of the land in the port area of Rio de Janeiro. The second study, conducted by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), assesses financial and profitability aspects, ensuring that investments in the stadium do not compromise the budget allocated to football.
FLAMENGO PLANS MEETINGS WITH THE CITY HALL
While the studies are ongoing, the board has already scheduled meetings with Rio's City Hall to discuss important issues, such as improvements to the surrounding infrastructure and urban mobility. In addition, negotiations are underway with Naturgy to discuss the removal of the existing gas equipment structure on site.
Flamengo 's planned investment for the construction of the new stadium has also been revised. Initially estimated at R$1.9 billion by the previous management, the cost could exceed R$3 billion, according to projections by the current board. The understanding is that previous studies did not consider several financial and structural factors, making a more detailed assessment necessary before moving on to the execution phase.
INITIAL WORKS COULD START AS SOON AS 2025
Although there is still no definitive timetable for the construction of the stadium, it is expected that the first interventions, such as the removal of the existing structure and the decontamination of the soil, will begin this year. The planning is in line with the club's financial strategy, which seeks ways to make the project viable without compromising investments in Flamengo 's squad.

One of the great merits of Filipe Luís's work at Flamengo's helm is its defensive solidity . Under his leadership, the team has not been defeated this season, and Rossi is largely responsible for this. The Argentine goalkeeper is having a consistent year , with decisive performances and an impressive streak of clean sheets.
According to a survey released by the club this Tuesday (7), Rossi reached seven consecutive games without conceding goals in 2025 and established himself as the athlete with the most matches in the season, totaling 51 appearances so far.
The term "clean sheet" originated in the Premier League and is used to define when a goalkeeper finishes a match without conceding a goal , and Rossi has already achieved this feat in 29 of his 51 matches this year for the "Mais Querido" (The Most Beloved). The only performance in which the number 1 conceded more goals was against Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup in June. On that occasion, Flamengo lost 4-2 in the round of 16 of the competition.
With Rossi on a high and a mainstay in the squad, Flamengo returns to the field on October 15th to face Botafogo at 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view), Record TV (open channel) and Cazé TV (YouTube).
