Flamengo is still living the dream of starting work on its new stadium. After Caixa Econômica Federal give up action to annul the expropriation of the Gasologista land by the city of Rio de Janeiro, Mais Querido is closer to receiving the term of ownership and being able to work on the site that it sold at auction in July 31st. In an election year at the club, pre-candidates have been addressing the topic in recent interviews.
On the podcast 'Fala João!', by presenter João Guilherme, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, spoke about Mais Querido's dream stadium. The president of Flamengo's Board of Directors said that he has a very capable team around him and that the group that is with him in the candidacy is more prepared for the challenge than anyone else involved in this election.
“ I understand that the stadium is a dream of the entire Nation and it will happen. That said, apart from the land, we have absolutely nothing. When I look at the team that is with me, the team that is by my side, I am absolutely sure that the only team today at Flamengo that has the ability to execute this in the time we will have of four and a half years is the one that is with me,” said Bap.
The leader also states that the group that is at his side will have the capacity not only for construction, but also for generating the financial resources necessary for the work and guaranteed that, if he becomes president, Flamengo it will not give up sports performance or become SAF to be able to finance the project.
“So I see that we have a lot of competent people to help not only build, but generate resources, without which Flamengo could be in a dangerous situation. Flamengo will have a stadium, it will not give up its sporting performance or its independence to become SAF. So if anyone thinks that they are going to use the stadium as a way to transform Flamengo into SAF, they can take the horse out of the rain because it won't happen”, declared the president of the Administrative Council.
Despite Without going into details, Bap said that he plans to increase the club's revenue by 50% over the next five years, which would take the red and black revenue to around R$2 billion and that these additional revenues would be enough to finance the project with minimal debt and capable of being resolved already in Flamengo's budget.
“Our plan is to increase Flamengo's revenue by 50% in five years from R$1.4 billion to R$2.1 billion and increase the club's profitability and operating margin from 25% to 31%. This gain over time will cover approximately R$1.5 billion additionally that Flamengo does not have today. With R$300 (million), R$700 million would be missing. I estimate that our stadium will cost something like R$2.5 billion. Then you could put into debt a club that earns more than R$2 billion, from a hundred and a few million today to 700 (million), which would be somewhere between 35, 40% of the club's revenue. And then, the stadium business itself would contribute with the business itself to pay for the stadium”, he concluded.

At 35 years old and far from the spotlight of Série A, midfielder Camacho has found a sequence on the field again. Signed by CSA at the beginning of the season, the player has played 15 games for the blue team in 2025 and is enjoying a moment of stability in the Alagoas squad. Having played for Flamengo , Corinthians and Athletico, Camacho arrived in Maceió surrounded by distrust . His advanced age and recent history of injuries raised doubts about his usefulness to the team. But the midfielder has responded on the field.




A NEW MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER


Under the command of Higo Magalhães, Camacho gradually gained ground until he finally became a starter. He has already played in games of the Copa do Nordeste, Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Alagoano and Série C — in addition to the national qualifier for the knockout tournament. Camacho has played in three games of the Copa do Nordeste, three of the Copa do Brasil, three of the Campeonato Alagoano, two of the Copa do Brasil qualifiers and four of the Série C. His consistent performance in all competitions reinforces his current importance to the squad.



Despite not having scored any goals this season, the midfielder contributed one assist. He provided the pass for Bryann's goal in the 2-2 draw against Juazeirense, in the fifth round of the Copa do Nordeste. Experience has been Camacho's main asset in this return to football in the Northeast. With a career that includes stints at major clubs in the country, he is now seeking prominence in a more modest, but no less demanding, scenario.

OLD WAY, NEW FOOTBALL

CSA 's number 8 is one of the team's leaders off the field and has also been contributing in the locker room. The coaching staff values his tactical understanding and exemplary behavior with the younger players. Camacho played for Guarani in 2024, where he was a starter for part of the Série B campaign . Before that, he had spells at Flamengo, Corinthians, Santos and Athletico Paranaense, with moments of prominence especially in Curitiba and at Timão.


At Flamengo, he was part of the team that won the Brazilian Championship in 2009, while still at the beginning of his career. At Corinthians, he won the Brazilian Championship in 2017. In 2018, he lifted the Copa Sul-Americana trophy with Athletico, where he played in a rotation system under Tiago Nunes. His resume also includes winning the Série B with Audax and the Campeonato Paulista, as well as participating in Libertadores and international competitions. Even so, Camacho has become less frequent in the national news in recent years.
