This Tuesday (19), Sesc Flamengo faces Praia Clube at Maracanãzinho, at 6:30 pm, at early departure of the 9th round of the Female Super League. After the defeat in the classic against Fluminense, which interrupted a sequence of victories, captain Michelle is betting on the team's preparation and the support of the fans to seek victory. The objective is to take away the Minas Gerais team's unbeaten record and equalize the lead score.


“We couldn't play our best against Fluminense, but it's over. The last few days have been full of training, adjustments and studying Praia Clube. Let's try to get back to what was working, with unity, aggressive serving and a good relationship between blocking and defense. Having our fans will be a difference,” said Michelle.


TABLE SITUATION


With seven games played, Sesc Flamengo occupies third position in the Superliga, with 15 points. The team is tied with Osasco on points, but loses on the tiebreaker criteria, and is three points behind leaders Praia Clube, who have won all six matches they have played so far, losing just three sets in total.

A red-black victory in this round would end Praia Clube's unbeaten run and leave the two teams tied at the top. It is worth remembering that Flamengo was already responsible for breaking Minas' unbeaten record in this edition of the championship.


FLAMENGO CAMPAIGN

So far, Flamengo has beat Brasília, Barueri, Osasco, Pinheiros and Minas. However, it suffered defeatsto Maringáand Fluminense. Despite the advantage of having already played more matches than other teams, beating Praia Clube is essential for the Rio team to consolidate its position in the table and maintain a safe distance from opponents who have games in hand.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE GREATEST CHAMPION

Sesc Flamengo, formed after the merger ofSesc-Rio de Janeiro with Mengão volleyball, led by Bernardinho, is the biggest winner in the history of the Women's Super League, with 12 titles. Since partnering with Mais Querido in 2020, the team has not reached a final, accumulating three consecutive eliminations in the semifinals. The last achievement was in the 2017/18 season, even before the union with Rubro-Negro.

This season is another opportunity to return to the decision and seek the title. A victory against the strong Praia Clube would be an important step on this path.

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (13) that it has terminated its sponsorship agreement with Pixbet . The contract, valid from January 2024, was for two years (until December), with the possibility of automatic renewal for two more seasons — a clause that should be activated in September.


Expected values with PixBet:


  • 2024 – R$ 105 million
  • 2025 – R$ 115 million
  • 2026 – R$ 125 million
  • 2027 – R$ 125 million


The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:

  • 2024 – R$ 10 million
  • 2025 – R$ 22.5 million
  • 2026 – R$ 25 million
  • 2027 – R$ 25 million
CLUB IS DISPUTED


The favorite to take over Flamengo's master sponsorship , SuperBet, faces stiff competition from Betano. The club has not yet decided on a new partner, but expects to sign a contract starting in September. Both companies have submitted three-year proposals, with values exceeding R$200 million per season and bonuses for targets, which could make the deal even more lucrative.

According to the ge portal, SuperBet's offer would surpass the contract signed with São Paulo, valued at R$600 million through 2030 , and could reach R$1 billion once the goals are met. Flamengo is working to make the new deal the largest sponsorship in Brazilian football.

CURRENT SITUATION WITH PIXBET

The relationship began to strain after delays in installment payments, a situation the company admitted, acknowledging difficulties in honoring upcoming commitments . There are indications that PixBet will not exercise the renewal clause and will leave the club.

FLAMENGO PLAN

Flamengo 's board of directors wants to end the partnership in September so that the new sponsor can take over the uniforms immediately. PixBet is pleased with this possibility due to the outstanding amounts , but if an amicable agreement isn't reached, the termination will only take place in December, as stipulated in the contract.

Besides SuperBet and Betano, other bookmakers approached the club but withdrew due to the high fees required. If PixBet's exit is confirmed, the next sponsor will need to cover not only the master contract but also the corresponding amount for FlaBet .

Vettel, who retired from Formula 1 in 2022, is in Brazil to participate in the event that discusses technology and innovation with a focus on sustainability, a cause he embraced even before leaving the track . The event also features other athletes, such as gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who represents Flamengo .

Vettel isn't the only driver to wear the Sacred Mantle. Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, currently in Formula 1, appeared wearing the Flamengo jersey in a photo before his debut in the category. At the time, he had won a race in Austria in Formula 2.

OTHER DRIVERS AND THEIR CLUBS


On the current Formula 1 grid, Max Verstappen is a Vasco fan due to the influence of his father-in-law, three-time champion Nelson Piquet . Meanwhile, British driver Lando Norris received a Palmeiras jersey in 2023 and has adopted the jersey as his trademark ever since.
