Flamengo remains firm in the World Cup and is preparing to face Los Angeles FC-USA this Tuesday (24), at 10 pm (Brasília time), with an impressive fact: the red-black squad is almost five times more valuable than that of the North American opponent . According to Transfermarkt, the difference between the squads exceeds R$ 1.1 billion.
The duel between Flamengo and Los Angeles FC in the Club World Cup is more than just a sporting clash: it exposes a glaring difference in the value of the squads. The Rubro-Negro, valued at €221.35 million (R$1.4 billion), arrives with high morale after two convincing victories in the group stage. The MLS team, on the other hand, has a squad valued at €46 million (R$289 million).
The comparison, based on figures from the specialized portal Transfermarkt, reveals the disparity in investment between the teams competing in the tournament. Even so, in football, the ball needs to roll and that is what coach Filipe Luís and his players are paying attention to in order to avoid surprises. In the last round, Flamengo showed strength by beating Chelsea, the current champion of the UEFA Conference League, 3-1, in a comeback. Bruno Henrique, Danilo and Wallace Yan scored the goals that sealed the victory and early qualification for the round of 16 of the tournament.
The solid performance against a club from one of the world's top leagues further boosted the fans' confidence and gave the coaching staff peace of mind to manage the group at the end of the group stage. With six points, Fla is the sole leader of Group D. The campaign began with a 2-0 victory over Espérance from Tunisia, in a game that was largely dominated. Arrascaeta and Luiz Araújo scored in the opening game.
In the second match, against Chelsea, Flamengo had to deal with an adverse score in the first half, but reacted efficiently, controlling the game in the second half with precise changes made by Filipe Luís. Flamengo returns to the field this Tuesday (24), at 10 pm, against Los Angeles FC, at Camping World Stadium, in the United States. Already qualified, the Brazilian team tries to close the first phase with a perfect campaign and maintain the momentum for the rest of the tournament.

In a surprising move, Sportingbet, the bookmaker that already features on Palmeiras' shirt, is set to take over as Flamengo's master sponsor . The club confirmed on Friday afternoon (15) that there is already a winner in the competition for the most prestigious space on the uniform , with the official announcement scheduled for Monday (18).
According to UOL journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Sportingbet has outbid other major companies in the sector and is in the process of formalizing a contract with Flamengo . The dispute became necessary after Flamengo terminated its relationship with Pixbet, a longtime partner, due to payment delays and issues with government agencies.
The end of the partnership with Pixbet was made official hours before the duel against Internacional for the Libertadores, last Wednesday (13). On that occasion, the team entered the field with the word “thank you” printed above the former sponsor , as a gesture of gratitude for the period of collaboration.
Behind the scenes, Flamengo acted quickly to secure a new partner . The board of directors opened a competition, asking interested companies to submit sealed proposals. Initially, Betano and Superbet emerged as the favorites.
With the entry of other companies, such as Esportes da Sorte, 7K Bet, and Bet Nacional, the competition took on new dimensions. Superbet, which was well-positioned, decided to withdraw after the number of competitors increased . If the deal goes through, Sportingbet will sponsor the two clubs that have excelled in Brazilian football in recent years, deepening the rivalry between them on the national stage.
