This Saturday (23), Flamengo's under-17 team, led by coach Filipe Luís, would play in his first classic of the season, that is, the first classic with the former player in charge of the team . The match was scheduled for 11am (Brasília time), against Vasco, at the Nivaldo Pereira stadium, but, due to the forecast of torrential rains for this weekend in the state of Rio de Janeiro, the match was cancelled.
The game is valid for the 3rd round of the Copa Rio U-17, a competition in which Flamengo's base is the current champion, so Filipe Luís has the mission of leading his players to yet another achievement. However, this search will have to continue another day.
This Friday (22), FERJ announced that all tournament games scheduled to take place between the 22nd and 25th would have to be rescheduled, due to storm warnings. There are still no updates on when the match will take place, so fans will have to wait to see this classic happen.
THE COMPETITION SO FAR
Under the command of Filipe Luís, the club's idol and who begins his promising career as a football coach, Flamengo U-17 has a 100% success rate in the World Cup Category river. In the first two rounds, Mengão defeated Cabofriense, 5-1, and beat Volta Redonda 1-0.
Meanwhile , their opponent, Vasco, still doesn't know what it means to win in the tournament. The rival's U17 team lost their debut to Nova Iguaçu 1-0, and last weekend they were beaten by Botafogo, this time 2-0. Therefore, this Saturday Mais Querido would try to score their third consecutive victory to further sink Vasco in the league table.

Flamengo has signed 15-year-old goalkeeper Nicolas, who previously played for Avaí. Born in February 2010, the young goalkeeper stands 6'4" tall and is projected to grow to 6'7" . According to the FlaZoeiro profile, Flamengo acquired 10% of the player's economic rights, with a purchase option of up to 70%. The transaction value was not disclosed.
Nicolas signed a youth development contract with Flamengo until December 2027 and will strengthen the under-15 team. The goalkeeper caught the attention of the Flamengo youth academy due to his technical and physical performance in Avaí's youth academy.
Going through a period of restructuring, Flamengo remains active in the youth academy market. Recently, the club won its second U-20 World Cup with a historic victory over Barcelona , and is already making significant changes to its roster.
Among the departures, midfielder Lorran was traded to Pisa (ITA), while Matheus Gonçalves signed with Al-Ahli (SAU). As for arrivals, Mais Querido signed striker Guilherme Barbosa , formerly of Internacional, and midfielder Kaio Júnior, who was at Juventude after a stint at Vasco.
In addition to Nícolas, the club also signed midfielder Marcelo Portela, a standout from Botafogo, to bolster the under-15 team. The youngster became famous after a viral move , when he performed a disconcerting dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
