The possibility of implementing a Football Limited Society (SAF) in Flamengo became more difficult after a change approved yesterday in a vote in the Deliberative Council. The proposal, which received 272 votes in favor, 2 against and 1 abstention, establishes new criteria that make it difficult for the club to transform into a SAF. One of the main obstacles is the need for approval in the General Assembly, with a minimum quorum of 60% of voting members.
Currently, Flamengo has 6,124 members, which means that, for the SAF idea is approved, at least 3,675 members would need to vote in favor of the proposal. This number is significant and increases the level of complexity of the process, since mobilizing such a large number of partners and still ensuring that the absolute majority of them are in favor of the change is a considerable challenge.
FLAMENGO HAS A DIFFICULT TASK THIS SEASON
The Sociedade Anônima do Futebol (SAF) is a business management model that allows the entry of external capital and investors to manage the club, in addition to offering a format more market-oriented law. In Brazil, several clubs have adhered to this model, such as Botafogo, Cruzeiro and Vasco, with the aim of attracting investment and improving the financial health of institutions.
No Flamengo, which already has consolidated and financially healthy management compared to many other clubs in the country, the implementation of the SAF divides opinions. While some see the model as an opportunity to accelerate growth and ensure an even more solid foundation for the future, others believe that the club, due to its current good financial situation, does not need to resort to this strategy.

Flamengo announced this Thursday (28) that there are no more tickets available for the duel against Grêmio , next Sunday (31), for the Brazilian Championship. The expectation is more than 60 thousand fans at Maracanã, a scenario that promises to transform the stadium into a cauldron to push the Rio team in search of another victory in the national competition.
The match is considered crucial for both teams. Mengão, the outright leader with 46 points, is looking to extend its lead over Palmeiras, second with 42, and Cruzeiro , third with 41. Cruzeiro, meanwhile, sees the match as a chance to react and halt the Rio de Janeiro team's momentum.
More than 60,000 tickets were made available, and approximately 65,000 people are expected to attend Maracanã, including free tickets. Tickets ranged from R$80 in the South section to R$500 in Maracanã Mais. All tickets were sold five days in advance.
The last time the team played at the stadium was in the 8-0 rout of Vitória , on a Monday night. Even at the unusual time, more than 60,000 fans showed up to support the team.
Flamengo 's likely starting lineup is expected to retain the same core from the last game. Thus, Filipe Luís is expected to field: Rossi, Varela, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Ayrton Lucas, Jorginho, Saúl, Arrascaeta, Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
The defender of the Mais Querido appeared at the Barra da Tijuca Court in a hearing about his children and denied failing to fulfill his obligations as a father.

Flamengo defender Léo Pereira was face to face with his ex-wife, Tainá Castro, in a hearing held this Thursday (28), at the Barra da Tijuca Forum, in Rio de Janeiro. The judicial meeting dealt with matters related to the former couple's children, Matteo, 4, and Helena, 5.
After leaving the scene, the player stated in an interview with the Leo Dias website that the process is proceeding smoothly and emphasized that he is upholding his parental responsibilities. " It was very calm, easy. It was just a hearing to discuss the children's issues. Today we only talk about the children. We have a good relationship, I've never failed to provide for the children, I'm very calm, the truth will always come out," the athlete stated.
Earlier, the LeoDias website revealed that Léo Pereira was given 72 hours to pay overdue child support. Failure to comply could result in arrest. The player has publicly denied this claim.
The marriage between the athlete and the digital influencer ended in 2023. Currently, Tainá Castro is married to fellow player Éder Militão, with whom she has a 3-year-old daughter , Cecília, the result of the Real Madrid defender's relationship with Karoline Lima, Léo Pereira's current girlfriend.
Hours before the hearing, Tainá Castro took to social media to report an unusual act by her ex-husband. According to her, Léo Pereira picked up their son Matteo to take him to soccer practice, a gesture that doesn't happen often.

The clash between Flamengo and Grêmio , scheduled for this Sunday (31), at 4 pm, at Maracanã, for the Brazilian Championship, will be conducted by Paulo Zanovelli . The 35-year-old referee from Minas Gerais is refereeing a game for the Mais Querido for the second time this season . In the first opportunity, against Mirassol, his performance generated criticism due to the excessive stoppages.
In that match, 36 fouls were called, 23 committed by the Red-Blacks and 13 by the opponents. The referee's style worries fans and experts, as the match could lose intensity and effective ball play.
The numbers confirm the trend. In 12 Brasileirão 2025 matches, Zanovelli called 362 fouls, an average of 30.17 fouls per match. This rate is considered high, especially compared to the Premier League , where the average is around 20 fouls per game.
Despite this, the issuing of cards hasn't kept pace with the same intensity. The referee has handed out 54 yellow cards so far, resulting in an average of 4.5 warnings per game , within the national league standard.
Maracanã is preparing for a big party next Sunday (30). With all tickets sold out, the expectation is for more than 60 thousand people present at the stadium . The Nation will be in force after the great 8-0 victory over the victory in the last round.
