The future Flamengo stadium, which will be built in the Gasmetro region, in the center of Rio de Janeiro, was discussed by president Rodolfo Landim in an interview with the newspaper O Globo, where he also addressed number of technicians at the club during his management. According to the current president, who remains in office until the end of December, potential buyers of the Naming Rights will be present at the first game of the final between Flamengo and Atlético-MG, this Sunday (3), at Maracanã.
Naming Rights are considered one of the main sources of revenue for the construction of the new stadium. Flamengo believes it can generate between R$70 and R$80 million annually with the commercialization of these rights, which allow a company to name the stadium. “We are already making some contacts. There are people even coming from abroad to watch the game on Sunday”, said Landim.
In addition, Landim commented on the capacity of the new stadium. “There are still things to tie up with the Fire Department regarding the project. Depending on what we negotiate, we will be able to increase or decrease the number of people in the stadium. But the numbers are between 75 thousand and 79 thousand seats in total”, concluded the president.
If Rodrigo Dunshee, his candidate, wins the elections, Landim will take over asCEO of Flamengo and will be responsible for the stadium project. The competitors in the election are Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, who stated in a recent interview that he will bring specialist Fabrício Chicca to work as a consultant for his team on the stadium, and Maurício Gomes de Mattos, who also said he had an agreement with the owner of the channel Mundo na Bola. Voting will take place on December 9th.
The new stadium of Flamengois an old dream of the Rubro-Negra Nation that came closer to being realized after the club purchased the Gasologista land, in the region port of the city of Rio de Janeiro, which was part of the Porto Maravilha Real Estate Investment Fund, managed by Caixa. After controversy due to the expropriation of the land, the club and the bank reached an agreement on values and the legal situation came to an end, and Mais Querido could receive the title of possession of the site.
