On Monday night (27), hours after a meeting between Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal on the construction of a new stadium for Rubro-Negro, the mayor of Rio , Eduardo Paes (PSD), was present at a dinner to discuss the topic and express his desire to make the project happen. In his long speech, the politician revealed that, if the impasse regarding the value of the land in Gasologista persists, one of the alternatives could be the expropriation of the area.
The meeting took place in a restaurant in Barra da Tijuca, West zone of the city. In addition to Rodolfo Landim, current president, Paes also spoke to former club president Delair Dumbrosck and a political group under his leadership.
"What is the effective advantage that Caixa is giving to Flamengo? Will it give a price discount? Will it reduce the value of its constituent potential? I came here to tell you the following: regardless of what Caixa does, and I put this on the table today, of course this will depend on some of our negotiations, if Caixa does not want to sell, it is private land and there is authoritarian power in Brazil that belongs to the government, to the government. chief executive, like expropriation", said Eduardo Paes.
"I think there is all the good will of the president of Caixa, who was here in person this week, he came to negotiate with all good will. I'm giving a message here to Caixa. They have and hold the construction potential of that entire region. By having all the construction potential of that region, when equipment arrives, the Flamengo stadium, with everything around it, is valued", added the mayor of Rio.
Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal have been negotiating the transfer of the Gasometer land for a few months. While the club accepts an amount of up to R$250 million to begin work on its new stadium, the bank plans to receive an amount of around R$400 million.
The red-black board plans its stadium for 80 thousand people and with a smaller construction area, of approximately 87 thousand m², being compact and getting rid of all the architectural customs of Maracanã. There is also the intention of external space for entertainment and broadcasting of games.
Mengão released a video showing how the process is progressing to realize the dream of its own arena and a realistic forecast for completion.

In 2024, Rodolfo Landim's administration announced the purchase of the Gasômetro land and promised the delivery of the new stadium in 2029. However, during a meeting of the Deliberative Council held this Wednesday (17), president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) presented new data and stated that the arena will only be ready in 2036 .

Upon taking over the club in January, Bap stated that he would review all of the previous management's studies , particularly regarding deadlines and costs. At this Wednesday's meeting, the board presented the first updates.
After the meeting, the club released a statement explaining the reasons for the schedule change. The statement emphasizes that it will take at least six years to make adjustments to the Gasômetro site: "The deadlines were also revised. The original schedule ignored essential steps, such as the relocation of Naturgy, which currently occupies 55% of the site , with a gas pumping substation for the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region," Flamengo wrote.
“According to a statement from Naturgy sent to Flamengo on September 10, 2025, the estimated relocation time is four years, after obtaining a new address for the installation of the substation , which is the responsibility of the City Hall.”
Despite the seven-year delay compared to the initial forecast, the club sees no risk in the short term. This is because the Maracanã concession is guaranteed for another 19 years , ensuring Flamengo a permanent venue until its own stadium opens. Thus, by 2036, Flamengo will have two stadiums at its disposal.

Flamengo's fans continue to impress world football's biggest names . In 2019, Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk came face-to-face with the might of the Red-Black Nation at the FIFA Club World Cup final in Qatar. The atmosphere of that match left a lasting impression on the Dutch defender.
Liverpool's Van Dijk on Flamengo: "Their fans were incredible"
In an interview with TNT Sports, Van Dijk was asked about his knowledge of Brazilian football. The topic arose because striker Memphis Depay , a player for Corinthians and the Dutch national team, frequently talks to the defender about Brazil.
"I know very well the passion Brazilian fans have for their teams. We faced Flamengo in the Club World Cup in Qatar, and their support was incredible . Memphis also spoke to me several times about the Corinthians fans. We know how great Brazilian football is. I'm very proud of Memphis and hope he scores many goals for the national team," said the defender.
After eliminating Al-Hilal in the semifinals, Flamengo faced Liverpool again in a repeat of the 1981 final . However, Jorge Jesus's team failed to break down the English defense and lost in extra time. In the final, Van Dijk experienced one of the greatest moments of his career and was a key player in neutralizing the Flamengo attack. Players like Gabigol struggled against the defender's solidity.
Almost six years after that duel, the Nation is preparing for another big night. Tickets for Flamengo vs Estudiantes, this Thursday (18), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals , are already sold out . More than 69 thousand fans will support Filipe Luís' team, which is looking to open up an advantage before the decisive match in La Plata.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil after losing 1-0 to São Paulo, this Wednesday (17), at Morumbis. The Rio de Janeiro team even tried to react after falling behind on the scoreboard, but was unable to avoid elimination in the single duel of the round of 16. The decisive goal was scored by Duda Serrana, a standout for the São Paulo team.
In the first half, São Paulo dominated possession and adopted a more attacking approach , hindering Flamengo 's play. Flamengo struggled to exchange passes and impose their style. Even so, the visitors had the best chance of the first half: on a quick counterattack in the 30th minute, Duda had a good opportunity but shot wide.
Early in the second half, a poor clearance by the Flamengo defense resulted in the game-clinching goal. The defense poorly cleared the ball, and Duda Serrana fired a precise shot from outside the box, leaving Flamengo's goalkeeper with no chance . From then on, the Rio de Janeiro team pushed forward and sought to press in the final minutes, relying primarily on set pieces and crosses, but failed to create any real chances.
With this result, Flamengo ends its Women's Copa do Brasil campaign with one win and one loss. The team received approximately R$90,000 for its participation in the round of 16. After the final whistle, members of the Flamengo coaching staff complained about the refereeing in the center of the field, but the result remained unchanged.
Flamengo could take to the field with a different formation to face Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The duel, decisive for the club's ambitions in the continental competition, will be broadcast live on Disney+.
