After prolongation for another 60 days to sign the contract with the company formed by Flamengo and Fluminense, the Government of Rio de Janeiro imposed a new condition for the Maracanã concession. The Secretary of the Civil House added a clause that imposes the need for accreditation of betting houses with the Rio de Janeiro State Lottery (Loterj) or the Federal Union to display their brands in the stadium complex.
The measure was a request of Loterj, to adapt to “compliance with applicable legislation in force in Brazil”, including tax legislation, as provided for in the notice released last year. There is a process for regulating “bets”, with 25 companies in the accreditation process with the Federal Union. Of these, 15 were admitted this week.
The deadline for the accreditation stage ends next Tuesday (20) and the company's approval or disapproval will be given by the end of the year. From January 1, 2025, only bets that comply with Brazilian legislation will be able to operate in Brazil.
Flamengo's master sponsor, Pixbet, is one of the five bookmakers that already has accreditation with Loterj, the others Apostau, Bestbet, Rio Jogo and Marjosports. Last Tuesday, the Deliberative Council approved the creation of “Flabet”, which has not yet entered the federal regularization process, but, as it is operated by Pixbet, will have permission to operate in Rio de Janeiro. p>
Fluminense has Superbet as a sponsor, a company that was the second to enter the accreditation process with the Federal Union.
In a note sent to GE, Tricolor stated that "the clause mentions the need for authorization from LOTERJ or the Federal Union. Federal regulation (ORDINANCE SPA/MF Nº 827, OF MAY 21, 2024) establishes that the adaptation period for legal entities that were active in Brazil ends on May 31 December (art. 24). It also establishes that anyone who requested authorization by August 20th will have the request analyzed by December 31st (art. 23). This may only happen on January 1/25 for those who do not have authorization. The SPA website publishes that it made the requests and Superbet is there: https:// Sigap.fazenda.gov.br/consulta-publica/lista-solicitacoes."
For Loterj, the grant is R$5 million for operations in the state of Rio de Janeiro. For the Union Federal, together with the Ministry of Finance, the grant is R$ 30 million. Loterj's license has a 5% tax rate on bookmaker profits, while in the Union it is 18%.

Maracanã will be the stage, this Wednesday (13), of one of the most anticipated clashes of the season. For the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Flamengo receives Internacional at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) with the mission of getting ahead in the elimination duel.
Coach Filipe Luís , however, must deal with a complicated situation: key players are out of action, and there's still uncertainty about the participation of a starter. The goal will be to find solutions to maintain high performance , even with the forced changes.
Among those who won't be available, Erick Pulgar remains sidelined to complete his recovery from surgery on the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot. Danilo, meanwhile, is treating a hamstring injury and, despite already training with physical therapy on the field, isn't expected to return until next weekend.
The list also includes Arrascaeta, who will serve a suspension for the third yellow card he received against Deportivo Táchira (VEN) in the group stage of the competition. Therefore, coach Filipe Luís will have a headache when it comes to replacing the number 10.
The coaching staff's main doubt is Nico De La Cruz . The Uruguayan midfielder hasn't played since July 16 due to a problem in his left knee , but he participated in training sessions during the week.

This Wednesday (13), Flamengo returns to the field to compete in the Copa Libertadores da América . The opponent will be Internacional, at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , in a duel valid for the first leg of the round of 16 of the competition at Maracanã.
Coach Filipe Luís will be without three players : Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from surgery on his right foot; Danilo, who is undergoing treatment for a right thigh injury; and Arrascaeta , who is suspended due to a backlog of yellow cards . Additionally, there is doubt about the participation of De La Cruz, who is treating a left knee problem and will be re-evaluated before the match.
Just like in the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo will have the recently registered players for the Libertadores at their disposal : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal. All are eligible to wear the Sacred Mantle at this stage of the tournament.
Internacional also arrives with a weakened squad . The team from Rio Grande do Sul will be without Mercado (right calf injury), Carbonero (left thigh injury), Ivan (left knee arthroscopy), Bruno Gomes (left knee surgery) and Lucca Drummond (right knee surgery).
Without being able to count on the number 10 and still without important pieces in the midfield and defense, coach Filipe Luís must send onto the field a Flamengo with : Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Allan, Jorginho, Plata; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Mengão is looking to sign a striker and the Argentine is high on the club's priority list, but the Italians are playing hardball.

Flamengo continues to monitor the situation of Lazio (ITA) striker Taty Castellanos . After failing to make progress in negotiations for Mehdi Taremi and Lucas Beltrán, the club is once again targeting the Argentine, despite facing resistance from the Italian club. According to Corriere dello Sport, Flamengo "would be ready" to present a new offer for Castellanos . The first attempt was made in July, but was promptly rejected by Lazio, which maintains its stance of not negotiating with him.
The impasse is directly linked to the punishment suffered by Lazio , which received a transfer ban for failing to comply with Italian football's financial requirements . As a result, the club is prohibited from registering new players until September, which prevents replacements in the event of departures.
Castellanos, who played 40 games last season and 46 the previous season, is considered an important player in the squad. That's why president Claudio Lotito promised coach Maurizio Sarri that there would be no more losses in the squad , a promise reinforced by sporting director Angelo Fabiani: " I shook the coach's hand twice ," he told the Italian newspaper.
According to the publication, Lazio evaluated Castellanos' behavior during a trip to England for a friendly against Burnley. The striker came on for the final 30 minutes, maintained a calm demeanor, and expressed no desire to leave the club , which strengthened the board's confidence in his continued presence.
Flamengo is looking for a center forward with different characteristics than Pedro in the market. The goal is to find a more mobile player capable of offering new attacking options. Therefore, names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos have been on the radar—without success so far.
While working behind the scenes, Rubro-Negro is preparing to face Internacional this Wednesday (13) , at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. The return leg is scheduled for next week.
