The President of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, received space from publicist Washington Olivetto in the newspaper 'O Globo', to talk about the new stadium that the red-black team intends to build on the Gasologista land, which the More Querido won in auction on July 31st for R$138.2 million after the city of Rio de Janeiro expropriated the space.
No text, Rodolfo Landim begins by pointing out that the actions taken by Flamengo end up generating controversy due to little understanding regarding the process and the city of Rio de Janeiro . The agent writes that the expropriation process took place on land that had not been used and was used irregularly for a long time.
“There are those who criticize the mayor of Rio for expropriating the area, without taking into account that that unoccupied land, with a privileged location, has been unused for decades, which contributes to its current state of abandonment. As it stands, the area recently acquired by Flamengo does not generate jobs and does nothing to strengthen the municipality's economic-financial scenario”, stated Landim.
The red-black president guarantees that “the construction of a sports arena there for 80 thousand fans will result in the modernization of its entire surroundings, including the Port Zone, Porto Maravilha and neighboring regions. In addition to the joy and pride of the red and black fans, the benefits generated by the stadium will extend to millions of Rio de Janeiro residents.”
Rodolfo Landim also states that the requirements of the notice, which will have to be fulfilled by Flamengo, foresee a large investment in the area not only for the construction of the stadium, but for the revitalization of the region and to guarantee mobility facilities for the citizens of Rio de Janeiro.
“The stadium construction project will take takes into account, as a priority, the well-being of the population, generating social benefits. The road and infrastructure interventions in those 87 thousand square meters will be carried out using the best and most modern urban mobility solutions. The creation of jobs is another relevant point, since putting a dream that could cost between R$1.5 billion and R$2 billion into practice will require the hiring of a large volume of labor, creating jobs and income for workers from all sectors. fans”, list.

Flamengo closed the mid-2025 transfer window with intense market activity. The balance sheet released by the board shows that the club raised more than it invested , strengthening its cash flow and strengthening its squad.
R$518.4 million was received from the departure of seven players , including important names such as Gerson (R$160.6 million), Wesley (R$162.2 million) and Fabrício Bruno (R$44 million). At the same time, the club continued to sign strategic players, projecting to close the year with revenue exceeding R$1.7 billion.
The biggest sale of the window was Wesley, who netted the club R$162.2 million. Besides him, Charly Alcaraz (R$96 million) and Matheus Gonçalves (R$50 million) also left the team , totaling significant sums. Loans and other transfers rounded out the list of moves that helped bolster the club's coffers.

Despite the suspension imposed on striker Bruno Henrique , Flamengo will not make any moves in the market to find an immediate replacement. The board was already considering the possibility of losing the player and believes there are enough options within the squad to maintain the team's performance.
According to a report by Gazeta do Urubu , coach Filipe Luís believes Pedro has reached his best physical form and can assume a greater offensive role. Furthermore, Gonzalo Plata and Wallace Yan are seen as viable alternatives to fill the position , while Juninho is expected to be reinstated in the squad for the next rounds of the Brasileirão.
The Superior Court of Sports Justice sentenced Bruno Henrique this Thursday (29) to a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision is valid for national competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, but does not, for now, affect the Libertadores.
However, the case is expected to be referred to FIFA. If the governing body agrees to extend the ban, the striker will also be barred from international matches , increasing the impact of the punishment for Mengão.
The process began after suspicions of manipulation related to a yellow card received by Bruno Henrique in the match against Santos, held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023.
According to the investigation, the player allegedly provided advance notice of the warning, which benefited his brother, Wander, who then passed the information on to third parties involved in sports betting. The investigation led to a disciplinary decision by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD), which may now have repercussions in international courts.
After four days of rest, the red-black squad returns to training at Ninho do Urubu under the command of Filipe Luís and begins preparations for the away match.

Their last away win came in 1997, when they won 1-0 in the Brasileirão . Since then, Mengão has lost seven and drawn six in Rio Grande do Sul. The match at Juventude's home ground has always been a difficult one.
Currently, the red-and-black team leads the national competition, with 47 points from 21 matches, with 14 wins , five draws, and only two losses. Juventude, on the other hand, is facing a difficult time, occupying 18th place with 21 points, achieved through six wins, three draws, and 12 losses.
