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.

Thus, the new reinforcement of the São Paulo team, right-back Igor Vinícius, has made himself available to debut against Mais Querido, on the 16th.
Igor Vinícius makes himself available to Santos for the game against Flamengo: "I've been able to train every day since I arrived".
He continued: "I'm still getting to know the team, the players' characteristics and understanding the way Cléber likes to play. I believe I came here to gain space, I'm available and always respecting my teammates, JP Chermont, Aderlan, as well as Escobar himself who is playing there. I'm at the coach's disposal and I believe I'm capable of playing, yes, against Flamengo ," said the full-back.
SANTOS X FLAMENGO
Thus, Santos and Flamengo will only face each other on July 16, when Mais Querido visits the São Paulo team at Vila Belmiro, for the match valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, at 8 pm.

Rogério Ceni opens up about 'parish' for Flamengo: "it's difficult for..."
The former coach of Mais Querido highlighted the strengths of the red-black squad and the reasons why they did not beat Mengo

Rogério Ceni renewed his contract with Bahia at the end of last month . Thus, the question that remains is whether the coach will continue to lose to Flamengo, since out of sixteen games, he has accumulated 16 defeats. In an interview, the former commander of Mais Querido spoke out about the 'freguesia' in the clashes with Mengo.
Rogério Ceni talks about being a regular for Flamengo: "Flamengo loses very few games, if you analyze it."
He continued: "Unfortunately, I became a coach at a time when Flamengo had its best team since the 1980s, when it had Zico, Adílio, Andrade, Tita, Nunes... Filipe Luís played 50 games and had only three or four defeats. In other words, the percentage of the last 50 games, maybe 8% of the teams managed to win against Flamengo. So it's difficult for everyone," said Rogério Ceni , in an interview with GE before adding:
ROGERIO CENI TALKS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF BEATING FLAMENGO
Soon after, Rogério Ceni highlighted that his team needs to strengthen itself in order to beat Flamengo . He also highlights that mental play is also needed to overcome the Mais Querido in competitions.
"I think we need to grow as a team, and we've already had the opportunity to win, we were very close to winning, we played games against Flamengo throughout last year and were superior. We played a game here at Fonte Nova where Flamengo had a shot on goal and won 1-0 against us. And we had great chances to score," added Ceni.
"The game is very mental, you have to try to have the mental strength so that when you have the opportunity, you score. Unfortunately, that didn't happen against Flamengo. It's annoying, it's annoying, of course it's annoying. And we hope that, despite Flamengo having a great team again this year, having invested a lot in signings, that we can have the opportunity to win this year," concluded the former goalkeeper.
TEAMS THAT ROGERIO CENI LOST TO FLAMENGO
Rogério Ceni has a 100% loss record against Flamengo between 2017 and 2025. The coach faced the team defending São Paulo, Fortaleza, Cruzeiro and Bahia. Thus, the coach has already suffered setbacks against the Rubro-Negro in the Copa do Brasil and the Campeonato Brasileiro.

Check out José Boto's fine at Flamengo - director faces frying
Mengão's football director is considering the possibility of leaving the club, but may have to pay a million-dollar fee

With just over six months in office, José Boto is experiencing his most turbulent moment as Flamengo's executive director of football . Chosen by Bap to lead the club's main department, the Portuguese director is facing internal questions, friction with players and employees, and is already showing dissatisfaction with the environment at Gávea . Despite still having the support of the president, the executive's future is uncertain — and his eventual departure would involve a termination fee.
TERMINATION VALUE
According to the 'GE' portal, Boto's contract provides for a fine of approximately R$2 million if the contract is terminated now, regardless of which party takes the initiative. The agreement follows a similar model to that of athletes, with two types of contract: one labor and one image rights.
In the latter, there is a clause that guarantees Flamengo a 30% increase in the amount of the fine, if José Boto does not communicate his intention to leave at least 30 days in advance . The provision is similar to the one that underpins the club's legal strategy in the Gerson case, in which Flamengo considers the transfer to Zenit (RUS) to be an early unilateral termination.
METHODS CAUSE DISCOMFORT
Despite the good results on the field in the first half of the year, there is discomfort behind the scenes with the way Boto is acting . The football director has faced resistance from managers, athletes and members of the coaching staff, who criticize his day-to-day behavior. The most recent episode was the negotiation with striker Mikey Johnston , which was agreed with the club, but the signing was directly vetoed by Bap. The presidential interference highlighted the moment of wear and tear on the director.
On Boto's side, there is also frustration with the current situation. People close to the Portuguese admit that he is not happy with the internal environment , but consider an immediate departure unlikely, especially just a few days before the official opening of the transfer window.
