Three-time champion of the competition, with two victories in the last five years, Flamengo was not satisfied with the group assigned to the first phase of the 2024 Libertadores. At least that was the opinion expressed by the club's president, Rodolfo Landim, who admitted that he preferred other combinations that could have been made.
“As it is balanced, it is difficult for us to say. But like that, there are groups there that we would prefer to be in”, began the representative, before continuing: “Never mind. I have already commented that playing at altitude is a problem for all Brazilian clubs. Historically it is a problem. And the very complicated logistics are also a problem, right? So just see who ended up taking lower altitudes or at sea level, it would be better. But we can't choose, we'll play wherever we have to play. We have to play well and that's it.”
Altitude is the manager's main concern, since the team will face two challenges in places elevated in relation to sea level. The clashes against Millonarios, from Colombia, and Bolívar already generate apprehension, but Landim also highlighted the 2019 campaign to reinforce confidence in the club's potential.
“In 2019, for example, it would be difficult for anyone to point to Flamengo as the favorite, and we ended up winning. So it's difficult, because the clubs that participate are receiving large investments, we see what has been happening with the SAFs spread across Latin America. It's difficult to point out a favorite at this moment. It's a very complicated competition, where logistics are complicated, there are games at altitude, the classification in the group stage is also important, because it influences the round-trip game afterwards. So, I would say today that I don't see any big favorites”, he added.
The Libertadores group stage will start on April 2nd, with Mengão facing Millonarios away from home at the time. The commitment will take place in the middle of the week between the two finals of the Campeonato Carioca, which will be played against Nova Iguaçu.

Forward Petterson had his visa regularized and leaves this Thursday (25) for Portugal. Flamengo loaned the 20-year-old player to Estrela Amadora, a team in Portugal's first division. The loan contract between the Portuguese club and Mengão runs until June 2025.
If Estrela Amadora chooses to buy the player, they will have to pay the amount of €750,000 (R$4.4 million ) for 60% of Petterson's economic rights. The information is from Flazoeiro. With 9 goals in 30 games in the 2023 season, the player won three titles in Mengão's youth categories: the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil under-17, both in 2021, and the Brasileirão Under-20 in 2023. After a During his loan period at Athletico Paranaense, Petterson packed his bags for Portugal.
At the Paraná club, he debuted with a goal, but an act of indiscipline caused him to be removed and no longer play. He even had a new loan to Avaí, which didn't happen. Now he will have another chance to prove himself.
The club finished the last season of the Portuguese League in 14th place, with seven wins, 15 defeats and 12 draws. In the League Cup, the team was eliminated in the first round; in the Portuguese Cup, Estrela Amadora fell through in the fourth round.
The result in the Portuguese Championship, however, was considered satisfactory. This is because the team returned to compete in the local elite after 15 years. The objective was maintenance.
In the new team, Petterson can expect to find many Brazilians among his teammates. The club has names like André Luiz and Daniel Cabral (both ex-Flamengo), Bruno Brígido (ex-Criciúma) and Léo Jabá (ex-Corinthians). Currently the club plays in the pre-season of European football.
Chosen 28-year-old referee, debuted in the Brasileirão in 2024 and will referee Fla's first game in his career

Flamengo faces Atlético-GO in a game this Sunday (28 ), at 4pm, at Maracanã, for the 20th of the Brasileirão. The main referee chosen by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to be responsible for the clash is Gustavo Ervino Bauermann, from the Santa Catarina Federation, who will debut as main referee in Mengão games and will play his eighth career game in Series A.
At 28 years old, Gustavo debuted as main referee in the elite Brasileirão this season and has already played seven games. Some between big teams or those competing at the top, such as: Bahia x Red Bull Bragantino (6th round), Internacional x Vasco (15th round) and São Paulo x Grêmio (17th round). He was the fourth referee in four games, totaling 11 appearances in this edition.
Despite his limited experience, the number of lineups for important matches indicates that Gustavo Bauermann has prestige in the CBF. This can be explained by the few criticisms in a championship marked by a low level of refereeing so far.
The only game that generated a stronger complaint from one of those involved was Corinthians' victory over Vitória, in the 14th round . Officials of the Bahian team stated that they sent a letter to the CBF to complain about the non-expulsion of Yuri Alberto in a challenge with full-back Willlean Lepo.
The attacker did not stop his movement after kicking the ball and hit the leg of the nearby opponent to the knee. The VAR recommended a review, but the main referee understood that the fact of not hitting with the sole constitutes a reckless entry for a yellow card. A decision that, despite the damage to Willlean's leg, was considered correct.
Gustavo scored 172 fouls in the seven Serie A games he officiated this season, an average of around 24 per game. The game that saw the fewest infractions, in fact, there were 21 fouls. Furthermore, he issued 38 yellow cards: 5.4 per game.
Now, the referee will be responsible for a Flamengo game for the first time in his career. This game is very important for Mengão to continue fighting for the leadership of the Brasileirão. The team has 37 points and one game less than leader Botafogo, who has 40, and could overtake their rival if they win the postponed match by two goals. A victory against Atlético, therefore, at least maintains this scenario.
