Flamengo saw an increase in revenue and a boost in cash flow at the beginning of 2025. But the club is still working on controlling the debt that increased last year . Luiz Eduardo Baptista took over management this year. Last year, there was an increase in net debt, but the club already had a high revenue guaranteed.
Bap focused on increasing revenue and profit margin to strengthen its cash flow . And it held back on investments. In the first quarter, there was an increase in revenue for the same period in 2024. Revenue closed at R$236 million, including Maracanã . Comparing only the club's revenue, it was R$208 million against R$172 million last year.
There was growth in revenue from television rights in Carioca, and sponsorship, a new Pixbet/Flabet contract, signed under the Landim administration . In terms of profit margin, the club collected the same R$21 million in ticket sales as Carioca in 2024 and 2025. But it had R$2.1 million more liquid in its coffers.
There was also an increase in costs, which reached R$236.9 million, an increase of more than R$20 million . The club closed with a deficit of R$9 million, which is normal in the first quarter, traditionally weaker in football.
As Flamengo prioritized cash flow, it managed to increase its available cash by R$30 million, reaching R$122 million. The cash sale of Fabrício Bruno was essential for this.
And there was a reduction in investment. Even so, the club spent R$99 million on signings. Half of this was on new players, Danilo and Juninho. The rest was to purchase Gonzalo Plata and pay bonuses and taxes on previous signings.
The club recorded a drop in net operating debt from R$327 million to R$270.9 million in its balance sheet. If the actual net debt is considered, a different criterion, there was an increase of around R$40 million, with the number reaching R$540 million.
However, there is an impact on advances - mainly for TV and Brazilian plates - which are revenues from the same year. In other words, they will be discounted according to the year.
Most notably, there has been an increase in the difference between what Flamengo has to receive and what it has to pay for player signings . The club currently has a negative balance of R$255.3 million, compared to R$220 million.
That's why Flamengo is already planning to sell Wesley in the middle of the year , as well as negotiating Carlos Alcaraz - who was loaned to Everton for free.
