Flamengo is getting closer every day to taking the project off the ground dream of your own stadium. Therefore, the debate about the SAF grows every day. For president Rodolfo Landim, the achievement involves directly selling part of the club. However, the issue has become a target of concern in the corridors of Gávea.
If Landim is completely in favor of the project, the opposition and even allies are moving against it. Some see it as "zero chance" of passing, as the majority does not agree. Groups of advisors made an amendment proposal "to avoid legal uncertainty in the possible modification process" of Flamengo on this topic. They have already obtained more than 50 necessary signatures.
But what is already known about the subject? Why does Landim want the SAF?
Rodolfo Landim makes no secret of being in favor of the SAF. He, however, wants it in a different way than what currently exists in Brazilian football. The president has supported the idea that a possible sale of 25% of a red-black SAF controlled by the association would allow the club to build its own stadium without losing competitiveness in football and/or increasing debt with loans.
The agent spoke to possible investors from outside Brazil. He claims to have interested companies. The Bayern Munich model is seen today as the ideal. The proposed SAF model would also not allow owner-partners to sell their securities as if they were company shares.
Would Landim have a stake in SAF?
Would Landim have a stake in SAF? The current president of Flamengo states that, if necessary, he would sign a document committing himself not to be CEO of the eventual company. He, however, wants to stay at the club and announced that he is a pre-candidate for the presidency of the Deliberative Council.
Would the SAF have control over football?
Rodolfo Landim rules out any transfer of control of footballwhich would continue with the club: "Of course not", he told the portal UOL, in December 2023.
What do the possible candidates say?
The candidates for the next election are not all defined yet, but there are three names emerging: Rodrigo Dunshee, supported by Landim, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, and Maurício Gomes de Mattos. The three spoke out against a possible SAF at the club.
The majority of Flamengo's political groups are against the idea of SAF. Landim has already opened the club for lectures, carried out studies and visited European clubs that can be a model in the matter.
How much would a stadium cost?
The current projection from the board is that, between land and construction, Flamengo would spend around R$2 billion. Landim believes that building this arena with resources that are not obtained from a SAF could bring the club into disrepute.
Why couldn't a stadium project be carried out with a separate company?< /b>
"If we created a separate company in the stadium, what would happen to this company? Any economic result that this company would have would be divided between Flamengo and this partner. A partner who wanted to enter the stadium, would certainly enter the stadium to make money and to share the economic result with Flamengo. As for a partner to participate in a SAF, which we saw in the example of Bayern Munich, these are companies that have a strategic interest in being in that. that Bayern's SAF was created, continues to be controlled by the club and has three members", said Landim.
What would the SAF vote be like?
This It is a topic that raises doubts even among counselors. For some, it would require a simple majority in the General Assembly (that is, all members with voting rights). Others believe that it would be a simple majority only in the Deliberative Council.
What does the opposition say?
The proposal from March this year suggests that the Council Deliberative has the possibility of adapting the statute and creating stricter rules for the approval of a SAF, which would need to be voted on at the General Assembly, with qualified quorums for deliberation and voting for approval.
The document wants to include that Elected and appointed directors of the association who held positions in the club in the 36 months preceding the approval of the SAF and constitution are prevented from assuming any management or administrative positions in the new society for a period of six years.
Regarding quorums, the decision at the General Assembly would be approved by a decision of two thirds of the members present. However, a minimum presence of 60% of all members of the general assembly would be required.
Voting in the Deliberative Session could only be approved by a decision of two thirds of the councilors present. There would also be a minimum presence of 60% of Council members.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
