Last Saturday (24), Flamengo added another glorious chapter to its history with the conquest of Mundial Sub- 20. In an exciting match at Maracanã, the red-black team beat Olympiacos, European champion of the category, reaffirming its position as one of the biggest talent pools in world football.

The President Rodolfo Landim and vice-president Rodrigo Dunshee expressed their joy for the achievement and highlighted the ongoing commitment to the development of Flamengo's base. In a statement, the representatives thanked Conmebol and UEFA for letting the club organize the match and highlighted the fans present at Maracanã.

The Nation, as always, supporting our Nest Boys. A beautiful party! Our greatest thanks to UEFA and Conmebol, who believed in our organization to put on this beautiful final; for the young and excellent Olympiacos team, who knew how to play ball and greatly appreciated our achievement; for our spectacular fans who, once again, played with the team and helped our boys achieve this achievement”, wrote Landim and Dunshee.

In the note, the directors reinforced the club's commitment to the youth categories, not just in football, but in other sports. The representatives also made a point of remembering the 10 boys who died in the tragedy of February 8, 2019, when a fire in Ninho do Urubu started in the facilities where the young people were staying due to an air conditioning failure.

“We’re not going to stop here. The training of our grassroots athletes, in all sports, has always been, and will continue to be, one of the club's top priorities. Finally, in this remarkable moment for our club, we will always remember our 10 boys. The whole of Flamengo dedicates this title to them.”

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid, MVP of the 2022/23 NBA season, once again demonstrated his affection for Flamengo . Last Thursday (21), the Cameroonian player was spotted in an official club store, in Cabo Frio (RJ) , where he made a point of purchasing several red-black products.

A SURPRISING VISIT

Although unusual, Embiid's presence in the Lakes Region has a reason. Married to Brazilian model Anne de Paula, the athlete often visits the city, where his father-in-law lives, during the holidays. This time, he took the opportunity to explore the "Nação Rubro-Negra" store and expand his Flamengo memorabilia collection.

ENTHUSIASM IN THE STORE

The star's arrival took everyone by surprise and caused great excitement among the employees. Salesman Kauan said he was so nervous when he met the player that he forgot to remove the alarm from a piece of furniture, creating an unusual moment: " His father-in-law even joked with me afterward. It was an unforgettable experience ," he revealed.

GENEROUS SHOPPING

Embiid didn't hold back. He brought jerseys for himself, his wife, his father-in-law, and his son , as well as accessories like shorts and thermoses. The visit even helped meet the store's sales goals. The center also obliged some fans and store owners by agreeing to take photos with them.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FLAMENGO

Embiid's connection with Flamengo isn't new. In 2023, during an interview with the NBA Freestyle program, he revealed that he started supporting Flamengo because of his wife's family: " Actually, I'm a Flamengo fan because my girlfriend's father is a fan . Since we started dating, I've been following the team," he said.

MEETING WITH PLAYERS

In January 2024, when Flamengo held a preseason training camp in Philadelphia, Embiid met Léo Pereira and Matheus Gonçalves . The defender even posted a photo with the star: " Nice to meet you, brother ." Thus, the relationship between Joel Embiid and Flamengo continues to grow, uniting basketball and soccer in a connection that already transcends borders.
