Flamengo is waiting for good news to resolve the legal imbroglio involving the possession of the Gasologista land, acquired at auction at the end of July. Last Friday, Caixa Econômica Federal, former administrator of the fund that owns the land, and the City of Rio de Janeiro formalized a request for a 90-day suspension of legal proceedings to continue negotiations at the Public Administration Mediation and Conciliation Chamber Federal.
The information was published by the newspaper O Globo. This suspension is part of an agreement that also involves Flamengo, with the aim of ending the legal dispute and allowing the club to take possession of the land. Flamengo has already paid R$138 million for the 87,000 square meters of Gasometer, in addition to an additional amount of R$7.8 million, following a judicial review.
The club believes it should not pay more for the land. An independent audit report from the fund, managed by Caixa, indicated a price of R$240.5 million for the land — a value close to what Flamengo had initially offered. However, as the negotiations did not progress, the City Council opted to expropriate the land, claiming "public utility and interest", which generated a series of legal actions, including questioning the action of Mayor Eduardo Paes.
Now, there is the possibility that the expropriation will be canceled, through the transfer of the amount already paid by Flamengo, around R$146 million, to the City Hall. However, the agreement still depends on the definition of the final value, which has always been a point of divergence between Flamengo and Caixa.
Flamengo does not yet have official possession of the land, which prevents the club from continue studies and preliminary actions for the construction of the new stadium, such as laying the foundation stone. The 8th Public Finance Court of the District of the Capital approved the sale, but transferred jurisdiction to the Federal Court, where Caixa and the Union contest the legality of the auction.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Flamengo has one less problem to start building its new stadium. Caixa Econômica Federal withdrew a legal action against the expropriation of land in Gasologista, in the Porto Maravilha region. The site was owned by the Porto Maravilha Real Estate Investment Fund (FII PM), managed by the state bank.
On Tuesday, Rio de Janeiro city hall, Caixa representatives and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Lula, decided to find a way to resolve the legal battle and allow the stadium project to begin. Thus, the first meeting took place this Thursday (29) where, in addition to the parties involved, the Attorney General's Office (AGU) and the Ministry of Management and Innovation (MGI) were present. The next meetings should take place in the coming weeks.
Thus, the AGU's Federal Public Administration Mediation and Conciliation Chamber (CCAF) will lead the process. CCAF operates in self-composition processes in the search for prevention and consensual resolution of conflicts involving federal public administration bodies, local authorities or federal foundations.
City Hall, Flamengo and Caixa
The terrain it was expropriated by the city hall in June. There were conversations between representatives of Flamengo and Caixa to sell the space to the club directly, but Rubro-Negro and the Bank were unable to reach an agreement regarding the value of the location. Mais Querido even offered R$250 million for the location. However, CEF refused, claiming that the price would be higher due to the Certificates of Additional Construction Potential (Cepacs) held by the fund.
In an auction at the end of July, Rubro-Negro purchased the land for R$138 million. The Rio club does not yet have a project ready, but it intends to build a stadium with a capacity for at least 70 thousand people. In the board's optimistic predictions, the inauguration of the new arena would be in 2029 on the club's anniversary, on November 15th.
