Prices here are 35% to 40% cheaper than in São Paulo, and everyone complains. Everything is expensive in Brazil . To have the team we have, it would hardly be cheaper than that. The costs of Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, the Flamengo and Football today are inflated. You can't practice less than that . Less than that we lose money, then you can't have a team like what we have here today, rejoicing the heart of 45 million, ”said the president after the Guanabara Cup conquest.

Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.
