The iconic Maracanã Stadium, cradle of exciting Brazilian football stories, went through a new phase in its trajectory with the concession to the private sector. However, this concession came with a series of obligations imposed by the Government, aiming to ensure that the heritage was preserved and that access to the stadium was maintained. The Maracanã concession notice stipulated several guidelines that the new manager must comply with. In this article, we will explore some of these crucial obligations in detail.
Minimum of 20 Games: The notice stipulated that the concessionaire must hold a minimum of 20 games annually at Maracanã. This measure seeks to maintain the use of the stadium and ensure that it continues to be a meeting point for football lovers. Full Painting of the Stadium: One of the first and most visible obligations is the full painting of the stadium. The appearance of Maracanã is a symbol of Brazilian football, and maintaining its aesthetics is essential.
Prohibition of Veto on Games by Other Clubs: The concessionaire is prohibited from vetoing games by football clubs that wish to play in the Maracanã. This aims to ensure that the stadium remains accessible to all teams and fans. Free benefits for the Government: The Government will be entitled to 7 boxes in the West sector, a full buffet, 40 parking spaces and 200 tickets in the Lower West sector of Maracanã. In addition, 60 free passes will be granted at Maracanãzinho, which is part of the sports complex.
Prohibition of Changing Colors: The notice also imposes a prohibition on changing colors both inside and outside the stadium. This aims to maintain the visual identity of Maracanã, which is recognized worldwide for its facade and characteristic colors. Monthly Value of the Complex: The concessionaire must pay the amount of R$ 211,086.63 monthly for the use and maintenance of the complex, which includes Maracanã and Maracanãzinho.
The imposition of these obligations reflects the historical and cultural importance of Maracanã in the Brazilian sports scene. The stadium goes beyond the mere football arena, being a true symbol of sport and the country's identity. The requirement for a minimum of 20 games annually aims to ensure that Maracanã continues to be a center of meetings and celebrations for fans and teams. This is also essential to maintain the stadium as a viable economic asset.
The complete painting of the stadium is a commitment to the conservation of heritage. The iconic facade, with its characteristic colors, is a postcard of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, and its preservation is a priority. The ban on vetoing games from other clubs is an important step to guarantee Maracanã's impartiality and accessibility to all football lovers. This prevents the stadium from being used as a bargaining chip in sporting rivalries.
The free fees established for the Government seek to ensure that access to Maracanã is not restricted to commercial sectors only. The full buffet and tickets for Maracanãzinho demonstrate the commitment to sport in its various manifestations. The ban on changing the stadium's colors is a gesture of respect for Maracanã's history and identity. The green and yellow colors are emblematic, and preserving this aspect is essential to maintain its authenticity.
Finally, the monthly amount of R$ 211,086.63 is a financial contribution that the dealer must make to cover maintenance of the sports complex. This ensures that Maracanã remains fully operational and in ideal conditions to host sporting and cultural events. In short, the obligations imposed by the Government in the Maracanã concession notice are a reflection of the commitment to preserving Brazil's sporting and cultural heritage. They ensure that Maracanã continues to be a symbol of Brazilian sport and a meeting place for fans of all teams. The preservation of its history, colors and accessibility is essential to keep the essence of this world football icon alive.

Youth product gains strength to be a starter in Flamengo vs. Fluminense
With Bruno Henrique suspended, Filipe Luís analyzes options for the derby; Wallace Yan's performance puts the youngster ahead of Everton Cebolinha

With Bruno Henrique absent due to suspension, coach Filipe Luís will be forced to make changes to Flamengo's attacking sector for the classic against Fluminense, scheduled for this Sunday (20), at 7:30 pm, at Maracanã . The dispute for the spot is between the young Wallace Yan and the experienced Everton Cebolinha, and the balance seems to be tipping towards the red-black promise.
Despite only playing 51 minutes in the Brazilian Championship, Wallace has excelled when called upon, scoring important goals and capturing the fans' attention. According to the ge website, the striker has already surpassed Juninho in the internal pecking order and is currently seen as the main candidate to replace Bruno Henrique in the starting lineup.
WALLACE'S PERFORMANCE
Wallace Yan, alongside Bruno Henrique , is the squad's third-highest scorer this season, with seven goals. This is a significant number, especially considering the striker's limited playing time. His effectiveness has been a differentiator, especially compared to the team's more experienced players.
Everton Cebolinha, on the other hand, has played 534 minutes in the Brasileirão, more than ten times as much as Wallace. However, the number 11 has directly contributed to only two goals in the competition and is facing a seven-match drought without contributing assists or goals. The player's inconsistent form has sparked dissatisfaction among fans, increasing the pressure on the coach when choosing the lineup.
FINAL CHOICE WILL BE DEFINED
Filipe Luís is likely to keep Plata as a false 9 , and if he opts for Everton Cebolinha, the number 11 will be moved to the left side of the attack. However, recent factors favor the selection of Wallace Yan, who has been responding to the opportunities he receives and outperforming his direct competitor.

Olaria, one of the most traditional clubs in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, is close to a new chapter in its history. The club, which is facing serious financial difficulties, has scheduled a meeting with its members for next Monday (15) to decide on its transformation into a Football Corporation (SAF) and the sale of 95% of its football rights to a business consortium.
The group interested in the acquisition includes rapper L7nnon, former Flamengo vice-president Marcos Braz, and the sports marketing firm Ric's, which already manages the club's football operations. The companies involved are DLA Investments, representing L7nnon , DTS Serviços Integrados de Telecomunicações, linked to Marcos Braz , and Ric's Sports.
SUBURBIAN CLUB EXPERIENCES FINANCIAL CRISIS
Olaria is experiencing financial instability, marked by labor debts and liens, which have jeopardized its sports operations. According to president André Luiz, known as "Batata," the current situation makes it impossible to maintain traditional football: "The current situation was unfeasible for football, and they wanted it. We're fighting to keep it going. There are a lot of liens and labor lawsuits," Batata told ge.
With the potential sale, the club estimates it will raise R$25 million for the transfer of 95% of its football rights. Part of the proceeds will be allocated to regularizing the club's tax situation, with the promise of obtaining a clearance certificate by the end of August.
INVESTORS PLAN IMMEDIATE INVESTMENTS
According to the notice calling the meeting, the new members intend to make immediate contributions to pay off liabilities and restructure the football department. The proposal is to transform Olaria into an efficient and competitive SAF, with professional management and medium- and long-term planning.

Flamengo comfortably defeated Bayer Leverkusen 5-1 in a friendly match held at Gávea Stadium, and one of the star performers was young Matheus Gonçalves. The number 10 played an active role: scoring a goal, providing an assist, hitting the crossbar , and curling a header that thrilled the home crowd.
However, despite his outstanding performance, the player expressed dissatisfaction on social media. After the match, Matheus commented on an official club post: " I don't understand, I'm not appearing in anything anymore 🤦🏻♂️… What madness. But we're going for it!! We keep going 🙏🏻❤️💪🏻." Shortly after, the message was deleted. The post in question did not contain his image, which sparked a public outcry.
FLAMENGO ALMOST NEGOTIATED YOUNG MIDFIELDER
The incident comes amid a period of uncertainty in the athlete's career. Matheus Gonçalves, a player brought up by the club itself , has found few opportunities in the professional team under coach Filipe Luís . He was included in the last official match, against Santos, but remained on the bench throughout the club's defeat.
Behind the scenes, Flamengo had made progress in negotiations with Cruzeiro, which offered €3.5 million (approximately R$22 million) for 50% of the player's economic rights. Despite the agreement being reached, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP) opted to back out and cancel the negotiation.
MATHEUS GONÇALVES ATTRACTS THE MARKET
Despite the impasse regarding his first-team performance, Matheus continues to attract attention abroad . Olympiacos, a traditional Greek club, has shown interest in the young midfielder through its scouting department, which has been monitoring his performance since his youth academy.
