The new Flamengo Museum is open to the Red-Black Nation! This Friday (4), Clube de Regatas do Flamengo held an inauguration ceremony at the headquarters in Gávea, which was attended by the press and some authorities. From this Saturday (5), from 10 am to 6 pm, the museum will be open for public visitation. Fans who purchased tickets through pre-sales will have priority access.
“This is an old dream, a project that has existed within the Club for a long time and that we are now able to deliver to our members and the fans. I am sure that the Nação Rubro-Negra will live a unique experience: the history of Flamengo told in a spectacular way”, said president Rodolfo Landim.
Zico, greatest idol in the history of Flamengo, also gave his speech at the inauguration ceremony and spoke about the importance of the museum to revive the red-black history.
“It is an immense source of pride. This was generated by all athletes who wore the Holy Mantle. I speak on behalf of all the athletes who passed and are not here. I visited some museums and couldn't understand why Flamengo didn't have its own. Congratulations to the heritage and all those who passed and tried to do their best. I was happy to pass and give great conquests to the club”, said the eternal shirt number 10.
In addition to Rodolfo Landim and Zico, vice-president Rodrigo Dunshee de Abrantes, the vice-president of Historical Heritage Luís Fernando Fadigas, federal deputy Pedro Paulo, secretary of culture Daniela Barros and president of the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Rubens Lopes.

On Saturday night, the 21st, Flamengo's Social Responsibility department was notably recognized with the AIDEP Social Impact Award during the FutEdu Summit 2025. The ceremony took place at the Hard Rock Café, in Curitiba, and brought together representatives of clubs and institutions that work with sports and social impact in South America.
Organized by the International Association for the Development of Sports and Parasports - AIDEP, the award is a recognition given to clubs and institutions that use football as a tool for social transformation.
The award highlighted Flamengo's Social Responsibility work as a reference in promoting opportunities for children and teenagers from socially vulnerable contexts, combining football with socio-emotional education, such as Jogaremos Juntos, Flamengo's social project, which includes 1,000 children and teenagers in eight communities in Rio and Baixada Fluminense, as well as other social initiatives of the club that have already impacted more than 200,000 people.
“Welcoming Flamengo to the FutEdu Summit is an immense honor. A club with so much history and relevance in Brazilian football inspires and further strengthens our commitment to education through sport,” said Diogo Netto, CEO of the FutEdu Summit.
The main objective of the Award is to recognize, value and encourage football schools and social projects that use sport as a tool for innovation, education and social transformation. It promotes visibility, strengthens good practices and establishes a standard of excellence in the sports-educational sector.

Sesc Flamengo continues to restructure, with new players arriving and leaving. As such, Mais Querido has signed Simone Lee, a 28-year-old American who played last season for Megabox Vallefoglia-ITA.
Simone Lee 's signing has been rumored for some time. The athlete is 1.88m tall and also has a German volleyball background, enjoying the peak of her career last season. She was voted the best attacker in the 2023/24 Turkish Championship.
Throughout her career, Simone has won two German Championships, one Italian Championship, one German Cup and one Nations League for the United States. She was discovered by Pennsylvania State University and went to Europe in the 2017/18 season.
According to information from the "Garrafão Rubro-Negro" portal, Simone's husband, German winger Lukas Wank , may join Flabasquete. Lukas will come to accompany his wife, but will need to find a new club after leaving Germany.
Last season, Lukas played for the Wurzburg Baskets, playing in 13 games and averaging 2.3 points, 0.6 assists and 1.3 rebounds. Previously, he played for Oldenburg, Skyliners Frankfurt, Lowen Braunschweig, Niners Chemnitz, RheinStars Köln and Science City Jena.
The president of Mais Querido opened up about the moment the club was in after the departure of the former management at the beginning of the year

Luiz Eduardo Baptista took over as president of Flamengo in January, after winning the red-black elections at the end of 2024. Thus, the leader of Mais Querido gave a quick interview to the press present in the United States and exposed the financial reality that the club found after the end of Rodolfo Landim's management.
Flamengo had money for two days, so Flamengo had a good economic situation, but a bad financial situation", highlighted Bap.
He continued: "If Flamengo were a company earning R$1.5 billion per year, it would have to have around R$300, R$400 million in cash. That's how you run a company. No one runs a large company with less than 3, 4 months of cash in hand. Like that guy who has furniture, furnishings, but no money in the bank. He had no liquidity," revealed Bap.
It is worth remembering that Flamengo released the annual report with the audited financial statements for the 2024 fiscal year. The balance sheet even showed record revenue of R$1.3 billion, but also indicated a 581% increase in net operating debt, which went from R$48 million to R$327 million, and a deficit of R$734 thousand.
Finding itself in a delicate financial situation, Flamengo 's focus at the beginning of the year was to increase its cash flow. Thus, with the non-renewal of David Luiz and Gabigol's contracts, the Rubro-Negro made room in the monthly payroll. In addition, the Rubro-Negro agreed to sell Fabrício Bruno to Cruzeiro for R$44 million.
So, while Bap continues trying to recover Flamengo financially, the red-black squad focuses on the next commitment in the Club World Cup. Rubro-Negro returns to the field this Tuesday (24), at 10 pm (Brasília time), for the match against Los Angeles FC.
