Eight days before the first game of the Copa do Brasil final, between Flamengo and São Paulo, leaders of the Autistas Rubro-Negros and Sou Tricolor Autista fans met in front of Morumbi on the afternoon of last Saturday. Rôsangela Barbosa, mother of little João Pedro, was the representative of Sou Tricolor Autista, while Marcos Felipe Leal, father of teenagers Felipe and Gabriela, was present for Autistas Rubro-Negros.
Felipe and João Pedro inspired the lovers dads to create their respective fans. Despite the different colors, Rôsangela and Marcos Felipe raise the same flag, that of inclusion. The meeting in front of Morumbi had two objectives: to promote peace and defend that people with disabilities have dignity and comfort in football stadiums. The most symbolic gesture in the fight against violence was the exchange of shirts. Rôsangela wore the shirt of the Autistas Rubro-Negros, and Marcos Felipe, that of the Sou Tricolor Autista movement.
"A few hours before a grand final, we from the Sou Tricolor Autista movement, had the opportunity to find the inclusive Rubro-Negro fans. The aim of raising the flag of the opposing fans was to demonstrate that, even among our differences, we have to promote a culture of peace in the stadiums. We don't need to kill each other because we support different clubs. On the contrary : the union between fans can change the world. And we, with the movement of inclusive fans in Brazil, aim to raise the flag of inclusion. Of true accessibility! Let's go, São Paulo" - stated Rôsangela.

Marcos Felipe echoed Rôsangela's words and highlighted that, during their meetings in São Paulo, he and representatives of other inclusive fans expressed opposition to the issue of single fans in stadiums.
"The idea through this meeting with Rô, from Tricolor Autista, and meetings with people from Palmeiras and Corinthians is that rivalry is what matters least. That it is possible for you to support different teams, but with a lot of respect, friendship and affection. This does not change anything about our plans and dreams regarding inclusion. This issue of single fans, for example, is meaningless. We want to try to promote the idea that it is possible to go to the stadiums if you are autistic, wheelchair-bound or anything. And, even if you support different teams, you can watch a game in peace and quiet. It is possible to have fun, play and make fun without violence. This is possible, and this is the message we want to convey through this meeting" - added Marcos Felipe.
Who will lift the Copa do Brasil trophy: São Paulo or Flamengo? The answer will only be given on 24 of September, in Morumbi, but the champions of solidarity, inclusion and love for others left on Saturday. Autistas Rubro-Negros and Sou Tricolor Autista shared the achievement, and the meeting had only winners.
The club raised R$518.4 million in sales, spent R$309 million on signings and expects historic revenue of over R$1.7 billion by the end of the year.

Flamengo closed the mid-2025 transfer window with intense market activity. The balance sheet released by the board shows that the club raised more than it invested , strengthening its cash flow and strengthening its squad.
R$518.4 million was received from the departure of seven players , including important names such as Gerson (R$160.6 million), Wesley (R$162.2 million) and Fabrício Bruno (R$44 million). At the same time, the club continued to sign strategic players, projecting to close the year with revenue exceeding R$1.7 billion.
The biggest sale of the window was Wesley, who netted the club R$162.2 million. Besides him, Charly Alcaraz (R$96 million) and Matheus Gonçalves (R$50 million) also left the team , totaling significant sums. Loans and other transfers rounded out the list of moves that helped bolster the club's coffers.
Despite significant departures, the board remained focused on strengthening the squad. In total, seven signings were made for 2025, three of which were free: Danilo, Jorginho, and Saúl Ñiguez.
The biggest investment was Samuel Lino, acquired for R$143 million in a historic deal for the club. Besides him, Emerson Royal (R$58 million), Jorge Carrascal (R$77 million), and Juninho (R$31 million) completed the list of paid reinforcements.
Even with the punishment of a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000, the club is not expected to go to the market in search of a striker, trusting in the current squad.

Despite the suspension imposed on striker Bruno Henrique , Flamengo will not make any moves in the market to find an immediate replacement. The board was already considering the possibility of losing the player and believes there are enough options within the squad to maintain the team's performance.
According to a report by Gazeta do Urubu , coach Filipe Luís believes Pedro has reached his best physical form and can assume a greater offensive role. Furthermore, Gonzalo Plata and Wallace Yan are seen as viable alternatives to fill the position , while Juninho is expected to be reinstated in the squad for the next rounds of the Brasileirão.
The Superior Court of Sports Justice sentenced Bruno Henrique this Thursday (29) to a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision is valid for national competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, but does not, for now, affect the Libertadores.
However, the case is expected to be referred to FIFA. If the governing body agrees to extend the ban, the striker will also be barred from international matches , increasing the impact of the punishment for Mengão.
The process began after suspicions of manipulation related to a yellow card received by Bruno Henrique in the match against Santos, held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023.
According to the investigation, the player allegedly provided advance notice of the warning, which benefited his brother, Wander, who then passed the information on to third parties involved in sports betting. The investigation led to a disciplinary decision by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD), which may now have repercussions in international courts.
After four days of rest, the red-black squad returns to training at Ninho do Urubu under the command of Filipe Luís and begins preparations for the away match.

After four days off , the Flamengo squad returned to activities this Friday (5), at Ninho do Urubu, under the command of Filipe Luís. The team is preparing for the next commitment in the Brazilian Championship , scheduled for September 14, against Juventude, in Caxias do Sul.
The group returned at 3:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Training Center in Vargem Grande . On Saturday (6), the work will be carried out in the morning, at 9:30 am, with the same schedule repeated on Sunday (7).
Filipe Luís will be tasked with adjusting the team for the match against Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi. Despite the technical differences between the teams and their good form in the tournament, Flamengo doesn't have a favorable record when facing the Gauchos away from home.
Their last away win came in 1997, when they won 1-0 in the Brasileirão . Since then, Mengão has lost seven and drawn six in Rio Grande do Sul. The match at Juventude's home ground has always been a difficult one.
Currently, the red-and-black team leads the national competition, with 47 points from 21 matches, with 14 wins , five draws, and only two losses. Juventude, on the other hand, is facing a difficult time, occupying 18th place with 21 points, achieved through six wins, three draws, and 12 losses.
