Globo holds the rights to broadcast the Copa do Brasil on open TV, but did not show the game
|
One of the main games from last Wednesday (1), Flamengo x Amazonas, was not broadcast on open TV . The absence of the game on Globo caused searches for the match to be broadcast on the internet. The reason the broadcaster did not show the Rubro-Negro match is related to the rights to broadcast the Copa do Brasil.
Globo holds the rights to broadcast the Copa do Brasil on open TV. However, in 2023, the broadcaster signed a new contract to show tournament games only from the round of 16 onwards. During Flamengo x Amazonas, the channel was showing the soap opera “Renascer”.
As matches in the stages prior to the round of 16 were divided between Globo's closed channels, "SporTV" and "Premiere", and Amazon's streaming, "Prime Video". Globo and Amazon are partners in negotiating the broadcasting rights for the competition until 2026.
According to columnist Allan Simon, from "UOL", this distribution of games boosts the number of users on the company's subscription channels Globo and on the Amazon streaming platform. The third phase return games are scheduled to take place from the 21st of this month.
VITÓRIA MAGRA DO FLAMENGOThe team led by Tite was booed at Maracanã despite the victory . This is because the club did not excite the fans who were present at the stadium with just a 1-0 victory over Amazonas in the second division.

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) recently released the audio of the communication between the video refereeing team (VAR) and referee Ramon Abatti Abel, referring to a controversial move that occurred during the first half of the game, involving the attacker Pedro and the Amazonas goalkeeper. The decision not to award a penalty generated controversy among fans and sports commentators.
The episode happened when Pedro, shirt 9, advanced towards the goal and was intercepted by the opposing goalkeeper. In a tight contest, the goalkeeper apparently hit Pedro's leg. However, referee Ramon Abatti Abel decided not to award the foul, which caused immediate repercussions.
The VAR team continued the review and reaffirmed that the goalkeeper's priority it was the ball. "Ball, ball, ball, and then there's contact due to the fight, for space, for the ball," they added. After this analysis, they concluded that the bid was normal. "Everything checked, normal," concluded the VAR referee.
