In addition to the naming rights, Flamengo also intends to sell the construction potential of its headquarters in Gávea

0According to O Globo, the Flamengo is in full swing to fulfill an old dream of its fans: the construction of its own new stadium. In an ambitious project, the club intends to raise funds in two main ways: negotiating the naming rights of the future stadium and selling the construction potential of its headquarters in Gávea.
The objective is to start works by October 2024, marking a step significant in the club's trajectory. To ensure that the project gets off the ground, Flamengo is betting on a financial model that does not involve the creation of a Football Anonymous Society (SAF). According to the club's directors, this financial operation will allow the institution to maintain its current structure while making the new stadium viable.
FLAMENGO LEADS THE NEGOTIATIONS
The negotiation of naming rights is a of the key pieces of this plan. The practice, which is common in major clubs and arenas around the world, involves selling a sponsor's right to name the stadium. This type of sponsorship generates significant and long-term revenue, helping to finance the construction and maintenance of infrastructure.
For the Flamengo, this is an opportunity to attract big brands interested in associating their names with one of the most popular clubs and victorious from Brazil. There is still no information on which companies are in the running, but the expectation is that the chosen brand will invest a substantial amount, reflecting the magnitude and potential exposure that the club offers.

Bank asks for billion-dollar compensation to free up land in the Port Zone
|
0New information has emerged about the legal impasse involving Caixa Econômica Federal and the Gasologista land, located in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro, where Flamengo's future stadium is planned. The state bank demands compensation of R$1.08 billion to free up the area for the club.
DEMANDS FROM CAIXA ECONÔMICA FEDERAL
According to the website Exame, Caixa is charging R$240 million for land ownership and R$840 million for air rights for the work, which would allow for an expansion of the construction potential of the stadium project. Only with the payment of this amount would the bank be willing to provide the site for construction.
In 2024, the City of Rio de Janeiro, led by Mayor Eduardo Paes, expropriated the Gasometer land. Mais Querido then acquired the area at an auction for R$146 million. However, Caixa Econômica challenged the transaction in court, triggering a long legal battle that has not yet been resolved.
To try to resolve the conflict, Flamengo, City Hall and Caixa are looking for an agreement that could put an end to the legal disputes. A deadline of mid-November this year was set for the parties to reach a consensus and make progress on the stadium project possible.
