Flamengo's game last Sunday (5) was controversial even in the days leading up to it. One of Flamengo's oldest embassies, the FlaBahia Embassy founded in 2008, even during the week before the game released a statement criticizing Flamengo's management. The reason was simple, Flamengo had not purchased the Bahia x Flamengo tickets to distribute through the embassy (as was the practice) and simply let the tickets be sold at the Arena Fonte Nova door.
This attitude bothered the FlaBahia embassy, which In this way, he saw a good part of his associates not being able to see Flamengo play live, something that the embassy directors saw as disrespect towards one of Flamengo's most important embassies.
In this way, on Saturday (20), the FlaBahia Embassy used its social networks to announce the temporary dissolution of the project 'Embassies and Consulates of the Nation”.
Read the statement in full:
“Red greetings -negras!
Today, a few days after the episodes that marked the arrival of our beloved Flamengo to Salvador for the game against Bahia, we demonstrated to inform our temporary removal from the Flamengo Embassies and Consulates Project .
We made this decision calmly, without the emotion of the moment when the Club, through its Marketing Vice-Presidency, denied the possibility for fans from various Embassies and Consulates to purchase tickets directly from the Arena Fonte Nova, a practice that has existed since 2008 and has never caused damage to any of the institutions involved, due to the smoothness with which Flamengo's decision was always made to hold the load of visitors until the last moment (the night before official sales) and only release for direct sale by Arena Fonte Nova (in practice handing it over to the scalpers who threw the party) caused financial and emotional losses to thousands of passionate red and black people.
Many fell for scams, others had to give up their money. amounts paid to bus companies, hotels, etc... All caused by the insensitivity of an ELITIST Board that only has eyes for the members of the Social Club. And for these selfless passionate red and black people, we want to express our most immense SOLIDARITY.
It is very easy to use the Off-Rio mass to appear in the social campaigns that they carry out throughout the year, or to say that it is champion of engagement on social media, or even to negotiate their sponsorship contracts, but the truth is that this board has always turned its back on all of us at the 'National Meeting of Embassies' (a party held annually by Flamengo and which had as its pillar the meeting held by Flabahia), which took place in November last year, created a small fence, like a corral, and even placed security guards in SEVERAL POINTS of the club to prevent fans from having access to areas other than where the stage was and where the stage would take place. the event.
This and we have many points that diverge from the current moment of the Embassies and Consulates Project, but the main one is the understanding that it does not have any institutional support, therefore, we prefer to temporarily move away from it and CONTINUE OUR WORK AS WE ALWAYS HAVE, with broadcasts of matches, events and social actions, without needing ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING from the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.
NOTHING FROM FLAMENGO, EVERYTHING FOR FLAMENGO!
FLABAHIA BOARD OF DIRECTORS.”

Matheus Sávio, a product of Ninho, will be one of the former Flamengo players who will compete in the Super Club World Cup, which will take place between June and July. A standout for Urawa Red Diamonds (JAP), the Brazilian will face River Plate (ARG), Monterrey (MEX) and Internazionale (ITA) in Group E. Thus, he did not hide his desire to meet the Mais Querido again in the tournament .
" I want to play against the best and be among the best .
" It would be an honor to be able to advance to the next stage and play against a Brazilian team. Among the teams that will be there, facing Flamengo would be special because of what I experienced at the club and the gratitude I have. It's a great team, and these challenges motivate us. I want to play against the best and be among the best. At 17, when I moved up to the professional team, everything happened very quickly. Maybe I didn't make the most of the opportunity, but it was a learning experience ," said Matheus Sávio, in an interview with 'GE'.
The Mais Querido is in Group D of the Super Club World Cup and will debut in the tournament against Espérance (TUN), on June 16. Four days later, the Rubro-Negro will face Chelsea (ENG). Finally, Flamengo will end the qualifying stage against another team, which will still be defined by FIFA.
Matheus Sávio made his debut in the Mais Querido professional team in 2015 and left the club in 2019 to join Kashiwa Reysol (JAP) for around R$4.6 million. Despite having emerged as a great promise in the youth team, the midfielder was unable to establish himself at Rubro-Negro. With the Manto Sagrado, he played 25 matches, scoring four goals and won the 2016 São Paulo Junior Football Cup and the 2017 Carioca .
While Flamengo and Matheus Sávio do not meet again in the Super World Cup, the Mais Querido squad remains focused on preparing for the Libertadores. Rubro-Negro takes the field against Deportivo Táchira (VEN) this Thursday (3) , at 9:30 pm, at the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo Stadium.
Mengão wants the midfielder to return for the 2025 season and sees the player as a possible replacement for Arrascaeta, who has been suffering from injuries.

Flamengo faces a long and challenging season, with competitions ongoing until December. To strengthen the squad, the club remains attentive to the market and remains interested in Andreas Pereira , with the intention of offering a four-year contract to the midfielder.
According to journalist Julio Miguel Neto, Flamengo is monitoring the player's situation at Fulham (ENG) and, despite contact made by intermediaries at the beginning of the year, the board does not intend to exceed the four-season limit on the contract . The English club is protecting itself with a contract until June 2026 and recently rejected Palmeiras' attempts to sign the midfielder.
In early 2025, Andreas ' representatives offered the player to Flamengo, but Fulham set a price of 20 million euros (R$122.6 million). The Rio de Janeiro club considers this amount to be high and, for now, has not shown any willingness to pay the amount demanded by the English club. The red-and-black club is still in talks with Lucas Paquetá 's staff, but any progress will only come after the player's trial .
In addition to Andreas, Flamengo is in advanced negotiations with Jorginho , from Arsenal (ENG). Football director José Boto and the player's representatives recently met in Barra da Tijuca , and the expectation is for a positive outcome in the coming days. There will be a new meeting with the player's representatives later this week.
While working to strengthen the squad, Flamengo focuses its attention on the debut of the Libertadores. Rubro-Negro faces Deportivo Táchira (VEN) this Thursday (03), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), away from home, in the first round of the competition. Mengão has never been defeated on Venezuelan soil , with a record of six wins and one draw.
