Monday night (18) was marked by a debate between the presidential candidates of Flamengo, broadcast on ESPN. The candidates Rodrigo Dunshee, supported by Rodolfo Landim, Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap), with Tostes and Pracownik, and Maurício Gomes de Mattos (MGM), supported by Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, discussed various topics, including the situation of the partners off-Rio.
Off-Rio partners on the agenda
Maurício Gomes de Mattos, whose ticket has as one of its main flags the off-Rio partners, does not managed to address the topic during the debate. On the other hand, Bap received the question on the subject due to the draw and took the opportunity to criticize the club's old Statutes, mentioning the impossibility of remote voting as a point of delay.
“This electoral process is being defined statutorily as the club's deliberative council seeks progress. The Flamengo Statute is old, 32 years. It comes from a time when there was no internet, there was nothing. And it has been the intention for some time to allow remote voting, remote access for some people in the sessions”, he begins.
Bap also pointed out that the current management did not make any progress in changes to the Statute that would allow greater inclusion of off-Rio partners in the electoral process, maintaining limitations for those far from Rio de Janeiro.
“No Flamengo, this did not happen in a deeper way, because this club's board of directors did not want to work against these developments every other day. For a long time, any statutory change, any evolution was systematically blocked, shelved and worked against. Technology allows it. Anyone who is a member and lives abroad should be able to vote”, he says.
Controversy over the election date
MGM had already shown dissatisfaction with the choice of election date, scheduled for a Monday, December 9th. According to him, the decision makes it difficult for off-Rio partners to participate, harming his candidacy, given his previous work as former deputy of Consulates and Embassies, which strengthened his relationship with this base.
Bap, in turn, tried to justify the choice, arguing that Mondays see a greater presence of members near the headquarters da Gávea, which would justify the date.
“The choice was made, from what I heard, by the electoral commission, that, historically , the presence, although it seems counterintuitive, is greater on Monday than on the weekend. Why? Because most of the club members are in the vicinity of the club. So, it’s a much more physical issue of the club’s reality than a ban on those who live far away”, he concludes.
Difference in the treatment of partners
During his speech, Rodrigo Dunshee mentioned, unintentionally, a differentiation between partners residing in Rio de Janeiro and those off-Rio. He highlighted that State partners can be harmed when Flamengo plays outside of Rio, but recognized that red and black members from other regions are currently even more excluded.
“It is essential that Flamengo plays some games in the State Championship without harming our Supporter Membership program, because the Fan Member buys the games we host. If we leave, we harm those games that were purchased, and the Fan Member loses that game. We have to always be looking at how we can compensate our Fan Member, but serve our partner outside of Rio”, he begins.
Dunshee also defended the expansion of the Consulates and Embassies program, seeking to create a sense of belongingfor those off-Rio, and admitted that this part of the fans is undervalued at the moment.
“Right now, we have the plan to go to Fortalezaand have a party cool there with the local Ceará fan. It's very important. Flamengo is traveling, Flamengo has its fans close to them, having parties, events, games. During my management, I am expanding the Consulates and Embassies program, which is a program that exactly brings belonging to this partner who is outside of Rio de Janeiro”, he continues.
Proposal for regional boards
To better integrate off-Rio partners, Dunshee proposed the creation of regional boards, with representatives in different parts of the country to meet the needs and demands of this group. The idea aims to strengthen the relationship between Flamengo and its fans spread across Brazil.
“I am setting up regional boards, because the vice-president is here in Rio de Janeiro, and he is very far away. I'm creating regional boards, placing a regional director in each region of Brazil to be even closer to the fans. Therefore, our commitment is to increasingly expand the program of consulates and embassies with these directors, and to increasingly travel to the Campeonato Carioca to be close to these fans”, he concludes.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.
The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).
Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.
After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
