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.

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:


  • 2024 – R$ 105 million
  • 2025 – R$ 115 million
  • 2026 – R$ 125 million
  • 2027 – R$ 125 million


The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:

  • 2024 – R$ 10 million
  • 2025 – R$ 22.5 million
  • 2026 – R$ 25 million
  • 2027 – R$ 25 million
CLUB IS DISPUTED


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.

CURRENT SITUATION WITH PIXBET

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 PLAN

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 .
