The presidential election of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo is officially scheduled for December 9, 2024. The electoral process, which will define the new president for the next three years, will take place at the club's headquarters, located at Gávea, in Rio de Janeiro. The chosen date follows the club's traditional schedule, which usually holds its elections in the last month of the year, as provided for in the statutes.
The mandate to be assumed by the winner will last three years, from 2025 to 2027, during which the elected president will have the responsibility of leading one of the largest sporting institutions in Brazil. Flamengo, known for its broad fan base and the weight of its brand on the national and international sporting scene, has in the elections a decisive moment to define its direction, both inside and outside the four lines.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW MOMENT IN THE ELECTIONS
During electoral periods, the club usually experiences intense debates between the different parties competing for the position, each with their own proposals and visions about the future of the < a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/de-olho-no-rival-bolivar-vence-partida-antes-de-encontrar-o-flamengo-pela-libertadores" target="_blank">Flamengo< /a>. Elections in Flamengo are traditionally contested by several internal political currents, each represented by a candidate. These panels are usually made up of influential members of the club, who have different views on the administration of the institution.
Electoral campaigns, which intensify in the months leading up to the vote, are marked by heated debates and promises of management and investment in different areas, such as professional football, the administrative structure and Olympic sports. One of the central points of the elections is the project for the football department, which is the club's flagship. The proposals generally revolve around reinforcements for the squad, investments in youth categories, maintenance or changes to the coaching staff and the search for titles.

Bahia's 2-1 defeat to Cruzeiro last Monday (15) represented not only the Celeste's turnaround at Fonte Nova, but also the end of a taboo. This is because the Bahian team was undefeated as home team in the Brasileirão. Now, only Flamengo and Mirassol remain unbeaten at home in this edition of the competition .
Bahia opened the scoring with a beautiful strike from Flamengo product Jean Lucas, but Cruzeiro responded with goals from Sinisterra and Gabigol. The result marked the Tricolor's first home defeat after a ten-game unbeaten run .
With Bahia's relegation, Flamengo now carries the exclusive title alongside Mirassol. The league leader, Flamengo, has played 12 home games, winning nine and drawing three . Their last loss at Maracanã came on July 31st, to Atlético-MG, in the Copa do Brasil. On that occasion, the Rio de Janeiro team was superior but was ultimately punished for a mistake in the clearance.
Mirassol , a major surprise in the 2025 Brasileirão, also remains undefeated at home. They've played 10 games, winning six and drawing four , demonstrating that the interior of São Paulo has become one of the most difficult places to earn points.
Flamengo's next match will also be at home, but for the Copa Libertadores. Rubro-Negro faces Estudiantes (ARG) this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals.
The Rio de Janeiro club is preparing early negotiations to extend Arrascaeta's contract, which runs until 2026, as a way to reward the number 10's performance and dedication.

Even with a contract valid until December 2026, Flamengo intends to start in the next few days Negotiations to renew Arrascaeta's contract are underway. In an interview with "UOL Esporte," director José Boto revealed that he will contact the player's representatives for a "more serious conversation" about extending his contract, following initial contact in the first half of the year.
Traditionally, under president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, the football department, led by José Boto, prioritizes agreements with players in the final year of their contracts . This isn't the case with Arrascaeta, but the Portuguese director explained that the early negotiation is a "reward" for the midfielder's performance and commitment to the club.
Boto praises Arrascaeta's moment at Flamengo: "He's an example"
"Arrascaeta has another year on his contract. The president always advocates, and I agree, that workers who dedicate a lot to Flamengo should be recognized. Right now, Arrascaeta is having his best season for the club and is an example of dedication . He invests time and effort to perform at a high level, and for that, he deserves this recognition," stated José Boto.
For Boto, the number 10 stands out not only on the field but also off it. "He's one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave because of the work he does. That's the kind of player we want at Flamengo. When they have this attitude, players are rewarded . That's what will happen with Arrascaeta, probably with a renewal before the due date," the director added.
In recent months, Flamengo has prioritized players with contracts that expire in December 2025. Cases like Erick Pulgar, who extended his contract until December 2028 , and Guillermo Varela, who extended his contract until December 2027 in August, reinforce this policy. The early negotiation with Arrascaeta, therefore, demonstrates the Uruguayan's importance to the squad.
