The mobilization of Flamengo fans in the " Nation at the UN " campaign reached impressive numbers. In just three days, more than 500,000 signatures were registered , solidifying the movement as one of the largest digital initiatives ever seen in Brazilian sports.
The initial goal was to gather 100,000 supporters in a week, but the number was reached in less than seven hours after the launch , last Tuesday (09). Since then, the numbers have only grown and Mais Querido is now looking for higher flights.
The initiative seeks recognition of the red-and-black fans as the first "symbolic-cultural nation" on the planet . The mobilization took over social media with the support of fans and historical idols of the club, exceeding all expectations. Now, the goal is even bolder: reaching 1 million signatures in the coming days.
Among those involved, Adriano Imperador stood out with good humor: "The Red-Black Nation recognized by the UN. Have you ever thought about me, a real Emperor?" he joked. He then issued a challenge: "Mission given. We won't disappoint Didico . We'll surpass 1 million. Not even a horse can handle it." The speech went viral and expanded the movement's reach, with idols like Zico and Adriano playing a central role in the mobilization.
With half a million signups in record time, the campaign demonstrates the strength of the nation, driven by passion, pride, and belonging . Engagement isn't limited to Brazil: fans abroad have also joined in, reinforcing the global nature of the campaign.
Joining is quick, free, and accessible. Simply visit peticao.flamengo.com.br and sign. Then, you'll be invited to share and invite other Flamengo fans to join the story . With the submission of documents, the club also hopes to build a database of its fans.

Flamengo, the sole leader of the Brazilian Championship with 47 points, maintains a good lead in the standings . Even so, Botafogo's SAF owner, John Textor, said he believes his team can close the gap on Flamengo .
John Textor on Flamengo in the Brasileirão: "We can get close"
"The season doesn't start in April. We had that mentality last year, and it was the best in 20 years. There was an unexpected coaching change. Flamengo is 10 points ahead of us, but we can get close . Let's try," said the director.
In practice, the difference is even greater than Textor pointed out. While Flamengo has 47 points, Botafogo is only fifth with 35, 12 points behind . Furthermore, the black and white team would still have to contend with the stumbles of four other teams to compete in the Brasileirão.
Botafogo was eliminated in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals on penalties against Vasco da Gama, and had already fallen in the Copa Libertadores round of 16 to LDU . Flamengo, on the other hand, remains firmly in the title race: they are in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, lead the Brasileirão, and won the Supercopa do Brasil against Botafogo earlier this season.
Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match will be at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul . Mengão has not beaten Jaconero at home since 1997.
