Known for his leadership on and off the field, Diego has a strong relationship with Flamengo
|
0The former captain and number 10 of Flamengo, Diego Ribas, will represent the club in Orlando, in the United States, starting in July. Diego, who had a remarkable career in Brazilian and international football, now joins Flamengo in a new initiative to expand the club's presence abroad.
The project in which Diego Ribas will be an ambassador envisages the creation of camps, which are sports teams aimed at children and teenagers. These camps will be held in several cities in the United States, with the aim of identifying new talents and, at the same time, promoting the Flamengo brand outside Brazil. In addition to the camps, the club plans to open football schools in the country in the future, further consolidating its international presence.
FLAMENGO IS INSPIRED BY WORLD GIANTS
O Flamengo was inspired by similar projects carried out by major European clubs, such as Real Madrid, which has already developed successful initiatives in this model. The strategy is clear: increase the recognition and strength of the Flamengo name worldwide. By following in the footsteps of top European clubs, Flamengo seeks to not only create new opportunities for young players, but also expand its market and influence in global football.
By the end of 2026, Flamengo plans to hold five camps in the United States, two per year. These screenings will not only provide the opportunity for young talent to showcase their potential, but will also serve as a platform to spread Brazilian football culture and Flamengo values among young Americans.

0The first women's volleyball competition is Mengão's! This Friday (27), Flamengo won the National Cup of Pro-Vôlei Clubs. Against the current Superliga champion, Bernardinho's team played 3 sets to 0 at Minas, with scores of 25-15, 25-18 and 25-17. The duel took place at Ginásio Wilson Mânica, in Ijuí, Rio Grande do Sul.
The tournament featured three clubs and serves as preparation for the 2024/25 Superliga. On Wednesday (25), Flamengo beat Maringá. On Thursday (26), Minas also beat the team from Paraná. Therefore, this Friday (27th) the big decision took place, which had a packed gym.
Despite being a competition to open the season, Flamengo's victory gives a boost to the season. After all, Minas is the team to beat in Brazilian women's volleyball. Thus, in the last five Superligas, the Belo Horizonte team won four titles and one runner-up. In the squad, there are athletes who have played for the Brazilian team, such as Thaísa, Olympic champion and bronze medalist in this year's edition, in Paris.
SuperligaThe dates of the Women's Super League have not yet been announced. However, there is an expectation that the competition will start in October. In total, 12 teams will play the tournament, in a round-robin system, with the eight best qualifying for the quarter-finals.
In the last edition, after all, Flamengo was eliminated by Praia Clube in the semi-final . Therefore, the goal for 2024/25 is to reach the decision and repeat the title won in 2000/01, when Rubro-Negro beat Vasco, in a historic decision at the Ginásio do Maracanãzinho.

0FIFA will announce the venues for the 2025 Super Club World Cup this Saturday (28). The announcement will be made during the Global Citizen Festival. The event will be held in Central Park, New York. FIFA did not detail how many cities and stadiums will host the 2025 edition. This will be the first time that the tournament will feature 32 teams.
The Super World Cup will be held between June 15 and July 13, 2025 The competition already has 30 qualified teams, with three Brazilians among them: Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense. Brazil may have one more representative. This is because Atlético-MG and Botafogo are fighting for the last South American place in the competition — the Libertadores title gives them the place. Peñarol [if they win the Libertadores] and Olímpia [if River wins the Libertadores] are the other teams in the running.
The places are divided into: 12 for Europe, six for South America, four for Asia, Africa and North, Central America and the Caribbean, one for Oceania and one for the host country.
In addition to the remaining MLS spot, which has not yet defined its representative, the other available entry belongs to South America. It is destined for the champion of the edition of 2024 of the Libertadores. If River Plate wins the title, it will be transferred to the Conmebol ranking in FIFA and would already have an owner: Olímpia-PAR.

At 27 years old, Gerson already has a significant trajectory at Flamengo and in international football
|
0 The player, who also had a pass for the Brazilian National Team, worked with experienced coaches and played alongside athletes with a leadership profile. This background prepared him to take on the role of Flamengo captain, a role he has played with a remarkable positive attitude.
Gerson has always shown humility when asking questions and learning from those around him. This willingness to develop is one of the reasons he is well prepared to lead the team. Diego, one of the club's veterans, highlighted Gerson's constant attitude, regardless of the circumstances. "He doesn't get excited about very positive moments and doesn't despair about difficult moments," said Diego. This ability to remain calm and confident, whether in crisis or victory, is what makes Gerson a true leader.
A LEADER ON AND OFF THE FIELD
Responsibility from the captain's belt seems to have gone down well in Gerson, which has been showing constant evolution in the performance of this function. His emotional balance and positive attitude are qualities that inspire his teammates and ensure that he is a secure support point for the team.
Gerson began his career at Fluminense, where he quickly stood out. His skill and vision of the game caught the attention of European clubs, and he ended up moving to Roma, in Italy. Although his time in European football was marked by ups and downs, Gerson learned valuable lessons that helped him grow as a player and as a person.
