NEW DIRECTOR! FLAMENGO ANNOUNCES THAT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STADIUM PROJECT WILL BE VP OF HERITAGE

Essential for child development, breast milk is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the “golden food”, giving rise to Golden August, a month to encourage breastfeeding. Thus, to reinforce support for the campaign, Flamengo's Social Responsibility department took, last Tuesday (27), water polo athlete Duda Martins, who is 26 weeks pregnant, and the club's mascots to meet the Maria Amélia Buarque de Holanda Municipal Maternity, a reference in humanized care for pregnant women, in the center of Rio.

As part of the activity program, the athlete received guidance on the breastfeeding process and the importance of breast milk in child development and in building bonds together with other pregnant and postpartum women cared for by the maternity ward.

“Flamengo's presence here today is extremely important because all actions aimed at Agosto Dourado aim to support, promote and increasingly encourage breastfeeding. Encouraging breastfeeding on demand, increasing breastfeeding time allows society to understand the real benefit that human milk has for both babies and mothers”, said Carla Navarrete, coordinator of the Nutrition and Dietetics Service at the Maternity Hospital and president of the Unit's Breastfeeding Committee.

“Visiting the Maria Amélia maternity ward was an incredible experience, I could see that the maternity ward is really very intense. I answered questions, learned and prepared myself a little more, and had contact with other pregnant women. Each of us had different doubts and fears, which were fully welcomed by the team that welcomed us. It was a pleasure to be part of Flamengo's social responsibility action”, said athlete Duda Martins.

Production assistant Josiane Portugal, who is also pregnant and undergoes prenatal care at the maternity ward, added. “Today I learned that only breast milk is enough and no other milk is needed for the child to grow up healthy. I loved Flamengo's presence here today. I'm a Flamengo fan, my family is Flamengo fan and I was very happy to know that Flamengo supports breastfeeding”, she praised.

As part of the proposal to humanize motherhood, the athlete received a beautiful pregnancy painting, which allowed you to understand how your baby is positioned inside your belly.

Flamengo is in a presidential election year and, as a result, campaigns have begun to be publicized. Thus, one more person applied for the election: Delair Dumbrosck, who is part of the group "Nação Sem Fronteiras".

In publicizing the campaign, Delair Dumbrosck spoke about his projects and what he thinks about the growth of sports Olympics. Furthermore, the pre-candidate also showed a sustainable solution for building his own stadium. Finally, the candidate spoke about the alternatives to internationalize the club's brand on the world stage.

Delair is an entrepreneur in the market segment real estate. Within Rubro-Negro, the pre-candidate was already president of the club in 2009, when Márcio Braga left the position. Thus, at the head of the management that had Marcos Braz as manager and Adriano Imperador on the team, the candidate for the election won the Brasileirão that year.

In addition to Delair Dumbrosck, Rodrigo Dunshee, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Maurício Gomes de Mattos, Pedro Paulo, Wallim Vasconcelos and José Carlos Peruano are also competing for the presidency of Flamengo.

The elections will be held on the day December 9, in Gávea. The time for members to vote will be from 8am to 9pm. Thus, during the day, members will choose the candidate who best fits the club's profile to lead the three-year period.

The Brazilian calendar is on pause due to FIFA Data. In this way, clubs rush to prepare their players and their homes for the month's long sequence of games. This is the case of Grêmio, who hope to have their stadium available for the game against Flamengo, on September 22nd.

According to information from GE, the Rio Grande do Sul team will install reflectors and will increase the audience capacity for the game against Mais Querido. The club from Rio Grande do Sul has until Thursday (12), to indicate the stage for the confrontation.

Thus, the stadium administrator is racing against time to make the necessary repairs and ensure that it will be possible to host the confrontation with o Rubro-Negro at 6:30 pm. It is worth remembering that when the team from Rio Grande do Sul returned to the stadium, the match had to be played at 11am, as there was no lighting in the place, as the stadium is still being renovated after the floods.

So, while Grêmio races against time to prepare their home to host Flamengo in the Brasileirão match, Mais Querido focuses on the clash against Bahia, in the Copa do Brasil. Rubro-Negro returns to the field this Thursday (12), at Maracanã. 

Grêmio will only enter the field on September 15th, when they visit Bragantino for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. Mais Querido also faces Vasco, on the same day, at Maracanã. The game against the team from Rio Grande do Sul will be valid for the 27th round, at 6:30 pm on the 22nd.
