The court condemned Flamengo in the case brought by the family of goalkeeper Christian Esmério, one of the 10 victims of the fire at Ninho do Urubu in 2019. The young man's parents were the only ones who had not reached an agreement with the club and were awaiting the sentence which came out this Thursday. The decision, signed by judge André Aiex Baptista Martins, of the 33rd Civil Court of Rio de Janeiro, is at first instance and subject to appeal.
The information was first released by the newspaper "O Globo" and confirmed by ge, which had access to the 12-page sentence. In the decision, the judge partially upheld the request and ordered Flamengo to pay R$ 2.82 million in moral damages to Christian's parents (amount to be divided equally between them) and R$ 120 thousand to his brother, in addition to a monthly pension of R$7,000, which was already being paid voluntarily by the club, until 2048 or until the death of the parents.
The amount is lower than what the family initially requested in the action, which stated the request for R$5.2 million in moral damages for the parents and R$240 thousand for the brother, in addition to R$3.9 million in pension, in cash or in installments per month. On the other hand, the amount is greater than the suggestion at the time of the Conciliation Chamber formed to adjust agreements between the club and family members, which proposed compensation of R$2 million and a minimum pension of R$10,000 for each family for around 30 years.
When asked whether it will appeal the decision, the club simply said that it "does not talk about the matter in the press". The agreements with the remaining nine families were made individually, and the amounts were kept confidential. Every February 8th since the boys' deaths, Flamengo organizes a mass at Ninho do Urubu. Some parents usually attend. In the club's museum, there was a tribute, but after the renovation it was removed.

Controversies always seem to surround Flamengo, and yet another unexpected piece of news involving the club came to light this Wednesday (18), this time related to women's football. Rubro-Negro was condemned by the courts in a case brought by six former players, with a decision that surprised everyone.
The action, which had been ongoing since 2021, resulted in a conviction worth R$3.2 million. According to information from Uol, the names of the players were not revealed, but they were released during the reformulation of the sport in 2022 and were seeking recognition of a professional bond with Flamengo.
Flamengo, which maintains a partnership with the Brazilian Navy did not pay the athletes directly, as they were third sergeants. They played for the club between 2015 and 2021, a period in which they won the Brazilian Women's Championship. However, the players argued that the practice adopted by the club and the Navy was irregular, according to the partnership contract.
“An item in the cooperation term made it clear that the Navy would not provide financial resources, nor would it carry out the direct transfer of facilities. Flamengo was intentionally omitted to pay the athletes”, guarantees lawyer Rafael Cunha.
Possibility of appealDespite the initial decision, Flamengo can still appeal. The Regional Labor Court of Rio de Janeiro unanimously understood that Flamengo benefited from the situation and determined that the club must record the athletes' contributions in their Work Cards, in addition to paying the due salaries and other labor obligations.
In addition to these six players, eight others also filed lawsuits against Flamengo for the same reason, but their trials have not yet taken place. In response to Uol, the club commented on the case:
“Of the nine legal actions involving former Navy athletes and coaches, eight had court decisions removing the employment relationship with the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, considering that these are exclusively third-level Navy sergeants”, he says.

Last week, children who practice judo in the social project Jogaremos Juntos, promoted by Flamengo's Social Responsibility, had an unforgettable experience. They visited the club's headquarters, in Gávea, and trained alongside Flamengo's judo teachers and athletes, experiencing a day full of learning, discipline and sportsmanship.
In total, 70 children, from centers of Cantagalo and Queimados, had the chance to practice judo under the guidance of high-level professionals, reinforcing the values of the sport, such as respect, determination and teamwork.
At the dojô, the children were welcomed by the coach of the under-13 and under-15 red-black judo teams, Rodrigo Domiciano, who, together with club athletes, shared his experiences and spoke about the importance of dedication to progress in the sport. “In the midst of so many negative references, it is essential that these children have positive references. Here they can see that it is possible to reach a higher degree, seek a black belt, seek important competitions and this will change their realities”, he said.
For many, the day was a unique opportunity to become inspire, dream big and continue following the path of sport. “The children came very excited. They've been talking about coming here to Flamengo for a week. It's important for them to be here, in a different place, with so much structure... This all makes them want to dedicate themselves more”, said professor Alves, who teaches judo at Jogaremos Juntos - Núcleo Queimados. Cantagalo resident Leda Maria Pereira de Macedo, mother of student Davi, added. “Children who live in communities need sports so they don't get lost and judo has already got my son back on track. He now has discipline, he has become another child! Davi takes a shower, goes to bed early... I'm very happy. I'm very grateful to have the project there”, she praised.
With its own methodology, Jogaremos Juntos is an education project through sport, based on socio-emotional skills. Through it, children and young people have the opportunity to work on self-knowledge, resilience, empathy, focus and other skills that they learn from sports and put into practice to face and overcome challenges in life, whether at school, in family or with friends.
In total, the project serves 800 children in six communities in Rio de Janeiro - Cantagalo Pavão Pavãozinho, Complexo do Alemão, Vila Aliança, Morro do Banco, Santa Cruz and Queimados - with classes football, judo, basketball, artistic gymnastics and volleyball. The project is encouraged by the Federal Sports Incentive Law and has Shell as a sponsor.
