Opened on August 4, 2023, the Flamengo Museum celebrated its second anniversary this month. To mark the occasion, the club held an event attended by great idols such as Zico, Andrade, Mozer, Nélio, and Olivinha. Mengão's eternal number 10 emphasized the importance of preserving the club's history , which, according to him, had previously been practically forgotten.
Zico on Flamengo's history before the Museum: "It was lying on the floor"
"Everything we fought and sweated for over the years was thrown to the ground. From that day on, I began to take action so that this wouldn't happen to the history that was to come , beyond football. Seeing all this today is gratifying," said Zico .
The idol also emphasized the value of the space for fans and athletes: " This tribute is from the club, from its history, from the club I learned to love . All the sweat I shed in training and games was because I was a Flamengo fan. I'm very happy. Every fan should know about this place. Here are the athletes and employees who helped the club become what it is today," he added.
In two years, the Museum has welcomed more than 240,000 visitors. The club plans to make Mengão's history "traveling," taking the collection to states in the North and Northeast . Among those honored is Olivinha, considered the "god of race" in basketball:
"I feel privileged. I've been here almost half my life and been through a lot. Having a bust here, next to Zico, is incredible. I never imagined it . As a basketball player, I'm representing Olympic sports. It's an honor to be the first Olympian to receive this honor. The museum is incredible," celebrated Olivinha.
The celebration in Gávea featured moments where attendees shared memorable stories. Zico, for example, revealed that the goal he celebrated most in his life was Rondinelli's in the 1978 Campeonato Carioca final against Vasco.
The full-back was in agreement with Mengão in the last few months, but reached an agreement and will remain with the red-black shirt for another two years.
