The Brazilian women's volleyball team arrived in France on Tuesday (11), where they will carry out the final phase of training before heading to Turkey , the venue for the second week of the Nations League (VNL). Coach José Roberto Guimarães kept the four representatives of Sesc Flamengo in the group: Helena, Lorena, Tainara and Laís. The athletes remain as options for the team's next commitments.
The main new addition to the list is the return of outside hitter Gabi Guimarães, who is back in the team after missing the Rio de Janeiro leg. On the other hand, Marcelle and Lanna were not called up. Still recovering, opposites Kisy and Rosamaria will remain with the group. The expectation is that Rosamaria will be able to play in Turkey , while Kisy should remain out of the second week.
With this, Brazil has 17 players available on French soil, but Zé Roberto will need to cut three players per match . The team will face Belgium, Canada, the Dominican Republic and Turkey in the next Nations League matches.
The four Sesc Flamengo athletes were given opportunities in the initial stage of the VNL. Lorena stood out , especially against the United States, Germany and Italy. The middle blocker was the third highest scorer for the team, with 32 points: 21 from attack, 10 from blocks and one from serving. Tainara, Sesc Flamengo's new signing, also stood out, totaling 29 points — 23 from attack, three from serves and three from blocks — being Brazil's fifth highest scorer in the competition.
Helena, in preparation for the U-21 World Cup, came in as an opposite in the third set against Italy and showed a good performance , scoring four points (three from attacks and one ace). Libero Laís, in turn, was a starter in all matches, with 34.09% efficiency in perfect passes and 19 saves throughout the first week.
While some of the players remain with the national team, Sesc Flamengo officially began preparations for the 2025/26 season this Monday (10). Training is being carried out at the Army Physical Education School (EsEFEx), in Rio de Janeiro.
The athletes Karina Souza, Camila Mesquita, Victória, Vivian and Clara Rodrigues will participate in the first phase of the pre-season. The players called up for the national teams and coach Bernardinho, who is currently in charge of the Men's National Team in the Nations League, will be introduced later .

Sesc Flamengo continues to strengthen itself for the 2025/2026 season and announced the arrival of American winger Simone Lee . The 28-year-old athlete landed in Rio de Janeiro this Friday (15), accompanied by her husband, and shared a video on social media recording her arrival in the Marvelous City.
Preparations for the new cycle are already underway. Simone Lee will soon report to coach Bernardinho at the Army Physical Education School (EsEFEx) in Rio's South Zone, where the red-and-black team trains.
Officially announced on June 2, Simone Lee is one of five signings for the upcoming season. Upon confirming her arrival, the winger sent a message to the nation expressing her enthusiasm for playing for Flamengo :

I'm really looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere in the gym and meeting these wonderful fans. So, let's get started! I can't wait to get started."

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (13) that it has terminated its sponsorship agreement with Pixbet . The contract, valid from January 2024, was for two years (until December), with the possibility of automatic renewal for two more seasons — a clause that should be activated in September.
Expected values with PixBet:
The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:
The favorite to take over Flamengo's master sponsorship , SuperBet, faces stiff competition from Betano. The club has not yet decided on a new partner, but expects to sign a contract starting in September. Both companies have submitted three-year proposals, with values exceeding R$200 million per season and bonuses for targets, which could make the deal even more lucrative.
According to the ge portal, SuperBet's offer would surpass the contract signed with São Paulo, valued at R$600 million through 2030 , and could reach R$1 billion once the goals are met. Flamengo is working to make the new deal the largest sponsorship in Brazilian football.
The relationship began to strain after delays in installment payments, a situation the company admitted, acknowledging difficulties in honoring upcoming commitments . There are indications that PixBet will not exercise the renewal clause and will leave the club.
Flamengo 's board of directors wants to end the partnership in September so that the new sponsor can take over the uniforms immediately. PixBet is pleased with this possibility due to the outstanding amounts , but if an amicable agreement isn't reached, the termination will only take place in December, as stipulated in the contract.
Besides SuperBet and Betano, other bookmakers approached the club but withdrew due to the high fees required. If PixBet's exit is confirmed, the next sponsor will need to cover not only the master contract but also the corresponding amount for FlaBet .

Flamengo has gained a high-speed "reinforcement." Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel received a club shirt autographed by Zico , the greatest idol in the club's history. The delivery took place last Monday (11), during the opening dinner of Rio Innovation Week.
Vettel, who retired from Formula 1 in 2022, is in Brazil to participate in the event that discusses technology and innovation with a focus on sustainability, a cause he embraced even before leaving the track . The event also features other athletes, such as gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who represents Flamengo .
Vettel isn't the only driver to wear the Sacred Mantle. Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, currently in Formula 1, appeared wearing the Flamengo jersey in a photo before his debut in the category. At the time, he had won a race in Austria in Formula 2.
On the current Formula 1 grid, Max Verstappen is a Vasco fan due to the influence of his father-in-law, three-time champion Nelson Piquet . Meanwhile, British driver Lando Norris received a Palmeiras jersey in 2023 and has adopted the jersey as his trademark ever since.
Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13) in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Internacional. The match will be at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã . The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo (open TV), ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
