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.

With a cruciate ligament injury in his knee confirmed, Pedro will have to undergo surgery and will be sidelined for at least nine months. Since returning to Rio de Janeiro last week, after being injured during the national team's training in Curitiba, the player already had a date set to undergo the surgical procedure.

According to journalist Luiza Sá, Pedro should have the surgery between Friday and Saturday, with Flamengo just waiting for confirmation of the date, to officially announce it. Also according to Luiza, the procedure will be in the same hospital where Viña and Cebolinha had the operation, both will no longer play in 2024.


Pedro has already undergone two knee surgeries

In addition to the serious injury suffered this year, in 2018, when Pedro was still playing for Fluminense, he was diagnosed with a strain in his ligaments in his right knee, and when the injury was confirmed there, he had to undergo surgery. Coincidentally, just like in 2024, he was cut from Brazil's squad list.

Pedro underwent physiotherapy and returned to working with the ball, at Fluminense's CT, in March 2019, almost nine months after his surgery .

The second surgery was due to a meniscus injury. And P9 had to undergo arthroscopic surgery, which left him sidelined for 3 months. In the meantime, the center forward was left out of the Libertadores final against Palmeiras, in Montevideo.

BAP launched its official candidacy for the presidency of Flamengo this last Monday (9). At an event held in Leblon, in Rio de Janeiro, supporters attended the launch of the "Race, Love and Management" ticket. Considered to be the group's possible legal VP, Flávio Willeman was asked if the assembled team is "elitist".

"There is nothing elitist. BAP has its feet on the ground, BAP is looking for listening to the club members, the fan members. He's going to all the podcast programs, sports programs, he's looking for all classes of club members", said Willeman before completing.


"The BAP is looking for competent people to work for Flamengo. This is not being elitist, this is working with professionalism. Since 2012, there have been at least 20 former vice-presidents of the club who will be part of the BAP group. But there's nothing elitist about it", he added.

BAP IS CALLED BY FANS AS ELITIST

It's worth remembering that at the end of July, when the Council vote took place. Mais Querido's decision on participation in the auction to purchase the stadium's land, a group of fans laid out a banner in Gávea called BAP elitist. On social media, some red and black people also accuse him with the same adjective.

FLAMENGO PRESIDENCY

BAP is the second candidate to launch an official candidacy for the presidency of Flamengo. Last week, Maurício Gomes de Mattos, MGM, kicked things off. In addition, Rodrigo Dunshee, Wallim Vasconcelos, Pedro Paulo and Delair Dumbrosck are also running for the position.
