The CBF continues to be a "thorn in the side" of several clubs. This is because, in addition to not paralyzing the Brasileirão during the Copa América, the entity has also insured the teams' funds for their performance in the Libertadores and Sul-Americana. Thus, several clubs that are involved in continental competitions are irritated with the highest football entity.


According to information from journalist Diogo Dantas, from O Globo, club directors communicated to make sure that the delay it affected all teams and to try to find a way to charge the CBF. This is because the teams were unable to get a response from the entity's financial director, Valdecir de Souza.


FLAMENGO IS ALSO BEING HARMED


In addition to other teams, Mais Querido is also being harmed. As we know, Rubro-Negro is the club with the highest revenue in Brazil and has excellent financial health, but it needs a transfer from Conmebol to close its revenue for the month.

Conmebol has already passed on to the CBF the values ​​relating to the first phases of the two competitions it organizes. The amount includes pre-Libertadores and the initial phase of the South American Championship, in addition to having already deposited the prizes for victories in some rounds of the group stages of the competitions.


On this occasion, Botafogo, has to receive approximately of R$7.37 million, as it won both rounds of the pre-Libertadores and won one match in the group stage. Palmeiras, Fluminense, Grêmio, Atlético-MG and São Paulo also have an amount to receive.

AMOUNT THAT FLAMENGO HAS TO RECEIVE

Thus, with the CBF's delay, the Mais Querido has to receive around R$1.7 million, referring to the victory over Palestino, in the second round of the Libertadores group stage. Thus, if Rubro-Negro wins the last three rounds of the group stage, it is possible that they will be able to raise around R$5 million.

In 2024, Rodolfo Landim's administration announced the purchase of the Gasômetro land and promised the delivery of the new stadium in 2029. However, during a meeting of the Deliberative Council held this Wednesday (17), president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) presented new data and stated that the arena will only be ready in 2036 .


MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PROJECTS


Landim Project:


  • Capacity: 78 thousand seats
  • Estimated cost: R$ 3 billion
  • Opening: 2029
  • Financing model: revenue anticipation
  • Predicted impact on football performance

Bap Project:


  • Capacity: 72 thousand seats
  • Estimated cost: R$2.2 billion
  • Inauguration: 2036
  • Financing model: generation of internal resources (savings)
  • No impact on sports performance

Upon taking over the club in January, Bap stated that he would review all of the previous management's studies , particularly regarding deadlines and costs. At this Wednesday's meeting, the board presented the first updates.

FLAMENGO'S OFFICIAL POSITION

After the meeting, the club released a statement explaining the reasons for the schedule change. The statement emphasizes that it will take at least six years to make adjustments to the Gasômetro site: "The deadlines were also revised. The original schedule ignored essential steps, such as the relocation of Naturgy, which currently occupies 55% of the site , with a gas pumping substation for the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region," Flamengo wrote.

“According to a statement from Naturgy sent to Flamengo on September 10, 2025, the estimated relocation time is four years, after obtaining a new address for the installation of the substation , which is the responsibility of the City Hall.”

WHERE WILL FLAMENGO PLAY UNTIL 2036?

Despite the seven-year delay compared to the initial forecast, the club sees no risk in the short term. This is because the Maracanã concession is guaranteed for another 19 years , ensuring Flamengo a permanent venue until its own stadium opens. Thus, by 2036, Flamengo will have two stadiums at its disposal.

Flamengo's fans continue to impress world football's biggest names . In 2019, Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk came face-to-face with the might of the Red-Black Nation at the FIFA Club World Cup final in Qatar. The atmosphere of that match left a lasting impression on the Dutch defender.


Liverpool's Van Dijk on Flamengo: "Their fans were incredible"


In an interview with TNT Sports, Van Dijk was asked about his knowledge of Brazilian football. The topic arose because striker Memphis Depay , a player for Corinthians and the Dutch national team, frequently talks to the defender about Brazil.


"I know very well the passion Brazilian fans have for their teams. We faced Flamengo in the Club World Cup in Qatar, and their support was incredible . Memphis also spoke to me several times about the Corinthians fans. We know how great Brazilian football is. I'm very proud of Memphis and hope he scores many goals for the national team," said the defender.

FLAMENGO X LIVERPOOL – THE 2019 MEETING


After eliminating Al-Hilal in the semifinals, Flamengo faced Liverpool again in a repeat of the 1981 final . However, Jorge Jesus's team failed to break down the English defense and lost in extra time. In the final, Van Dijk experienced one of the greatest moments of his career and was a key player in neutralizing the Flamengo attack. Players like Gabigol struggled against the defender's solidity.

MARACANÃ FULL FOR FLAMENGO X ESTUDIANTES

Almost six years after that duel, the Nation is preparing for another big night.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil after losing 1-0 to São Paulo, this Wednesday (17), at Morumbis. The Rio de Janeiro team even tried to react after falling behind on the scoreboard, but was unable to avoid elimination in the single duel of the round of 16. The decisive goal was scored by Duda Serrana, a standout for the São Paulo team.


In the first half, São Paulo dominated possession and adopted a more attacking approach , hindering Flamengo 's play. Flamengo struggled to exchange passes and impose their style. Even so, the visitors had the best chance of the first half: on a quick counterattack in the 30th minute, Duda had a good opportunity but shot wide.


DUDA SERRANA'S GOAL DECIDES


Early in the second half, a poor clearance by the Flamengo defense resulted in the game-clinching goal. The defense poorly cleared the ball, and Duda Serrana fired a precise shot from outside the box, leaving Flamengo's goalkeeper with no chance . From then on, the Rio de Janeiro team pushed forward and sought to press in the final minutes, relying primarily on set pieces and crosses, but failed to create any real chances.

ELIMINATION ENDS PARTICIPATION


With this result, Flamengo ends its Women's Copa do Brasil campaign with one win and one loss. The team received approximately R$90,000 for its participation in the round of 16. After the final whistle, members of the Flamengo coaching staff complained about the refereeing in the center of the field, but the result remained unchanged.

AND THE MALE?

Flamengo could take to the field with a different formation to face Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The duel, decisive for the club's ambitions in the continental competition, will be broadcast live on Disney+.
