Filling out Maracanã has become a routine for the Gávea club. In 2023, for example, Flamengo also recorded the highest average attendance in Brazilian football, which was even a record for the team in the decade, with an average of 54 thousand fans in 38 home matches, similar to what it maintains in the current season. However, in 2024 Flamengo still has 4 more home games until the end, and could beat this record.
- A Every season, Flamengo fans surpass themselves and set new records. This demonstrates the club's ability to mobilize thousands of fans to watch the games. In recent years, the presence of fans at Maracanã has consolidated itself as one of the team's assets, contributing to titles and impressive results, as well as increasing revenue and strengthening the club's brand - comments Fábio Wolff, specialist in sports marketing and managing partner of Wolff Sports.
Imply ElevenTickets, which manages Flamengo's ticket sales, has been fundamental in this success. Since 2017, the ElevenTickets Imply platform has allowed the club to manage its sales online and at box offices, in addition to having the Fla Ingressos App and integration with the fan partner program.
- It is a great pleasure to serve a fan base as big as Flamengo's. Our goal is to provide the best experience for fans, so they can make the most of the show - says Tironi Paz Ortiz, CEO of Imply.
The high demand for tickets also has an impact on the club's membership, which currently has around 85 thousand members, positioning itself as the fourth largest fan membership program in the country. Recently, Flamengo announced new benefits for members, such as the Fla-Experience platform, where fans can exchange points for exclusive experiences, and Espaço Fla+, a private environment at Maracanã with an open bar and open food.
- It is positive to see clubs looking for new solutions for their fan membership programs. In addition to their passion for the club, fans today seek exclusive experiences, and whoever adapts to this new reality will have the opportunity to increase revenue - says Sara Carsalade, co-founder of Somos Young, a company specializing in membership programs - fan.

Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.
