We are working on improving our game, without worrying so much about the opponent that will come, no matter the level of difficulty they present. Everyone who comes to the playoff is more focused and committed, so we have to be very careful —, said guard Gabriel Jaú.
— I think Flamengo played the series very well 80% of the time, we had a bad last quarter against Botafogo away. Congratulations to the team, now the focus is total on the quarterfinals. Both Fortaleza and São José are great teams, they play very hard —, highlighted Gustavinho.

With titles won in 2014 and 2022, the red-black team arrives at the 2025/26 season with the clear objective of repeating the feat in Singapore and consolidating itself as a global basketball powerhouse.
To achieve this goal, Flamengo formed a revamped squad, blending experienced players with promising young talents who embody the club's winning DNA. Argentine coach Sérgio Hernández, known as "Oveja," took over the team midway through last season and has already won the Champions League Americas.
FlaBasquete invested heavily to strengthen its roster. Among the reinforcements are Daniel Onwenu (formerly of Corinthians), Argentine Franco Baralle (formerly of Pinheiros), Wesley Castro, and Eric Buckner . The arrival of Dee Bost, an American point guard who became a naturalized Bulgarian, was a response to Baralle's injury, as he suffered an accident and will be out for the season.
With experience and versatility, Bost arrives to be a leader in decisive moments . Despite the departures of key players like Franco Balbi and Gallizzi, expectations are high for the team's performance at the World Cup.
Flamengo makes its World Cup debut this Thursday (18), at 6 am (Brasília time), facing the NBA G-League United team, from the United States. The match will be broadcast on Flamengo TV . The red-black nation is eager to follow the team in its quest for its third world championship , which could once again put Flamengo basketball at the top of the global stage.
Mengão wants to broadcast the tournament to its fans on YouTube, but there is still no official decision with the organizing entity.
