Flamengo has ended its partnership with End to End , the company responsible for managing the social media for “Nação”, the club’s member program. The break marks a change in strategy for the project, which was officially relaunched in April under the management of Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap. According to a report by Danilo Lavieri from the UOL portal, both Mais Querido and the company were contacted to comment on the break, but did not comment on the reasons for the decision.
End to End operates in the sports marketing segment , with a focus on communicating fan membership programs for clubs such as Palmeiras and Atlético-MG. In addition, it is also responsible for curating the social media channels of Time Brasil. The company is supported by investments from OutField, a consultancy focused on asset management and strategies in sports.
The partnership with Flamengo lasted less than six months, ending shortly after the official announcement that the company would be responsible for the digital reformulation of Nação. The expectation is for the new partnership for the networks of the program 'Nação'.
One of the main promises of the current Flamengo board for 2025 was precisely the modernization of the fan membership program . The reformulation included changes to the plans, new values and the creation of the Nation Without Borders, aimed at fans outside of Rio de Janeiro. The club's stated goal is to make the program one of the ten largest in the world, in addition to consolidating its leadership in South America.
Marketing Director on fan club members: "Flamengo has very ambitious goals"
“We are in a global competition. Flamengo has very ambitious goals, it wants to be in the top 10 in the world, to be the biggest in the Americas. We have challenges in several areas, and that only depends on us, on the Nation. If we want, we will transform the Nation program into Flamengo’s biggest sponsor ”, said Roberto Trinas, the club’s Marketing Director, in a press conference at Ninho do Urubu.
The Nation Without Borders plan was one of the main innovations of the restructuring. Aimed at fans who live outside of Rio , the plan offers priority in purchasing tickets for Flamengo games as visitors in other cities. In addition, the program includes benefits such as access to Maracanã, the Flamengo Museum and advantages with partners such as Zé Delivery.
The new agreement will bring the Rio de Janeiro club R$268 million per year and positions the team among the biggest contracts in world football with the betting house.

Flamengo's Deliberative Council approved, this Tuesday (19), the master sponsorship contract with Betano , one of the global leaders in sports betting. The link will begin on August 20, 2025 and will remain valid until December 31, 2028 , guaranteeing the club R$268 million per season. The agreement is considered the largest ever signed in national football.
The partnership includes brand exposure on the uniforms of the professional team and also on Olympic sports such as volleyball, basketball, and women's soccer. Additionally, the company will be featured on Flamengo TV content, expanding commercial integration and global visibility. The board emphasizes that the agreement is not limited to financial support, but opens doors to new business opportunities.
With values comparable to those of European football giants, the contract brings Flamengo closer to clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Barcelona. For comparison, Flamengo's partnership surpasses sponsorships from clubs like Ajax, whose partnership with Ziggo generates only €8 million (approximately R$51 million) per year. This amount places the Brazilian team in 10th place in the world rankings for largest sponsorship deals.
This Wednesday (20), at 8:30 am, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista , known as Bap, will be live on Flamengo TV alongside Guilherme Augusto Figueiredo, General Director of Betano Brasil. The conversation will be led by João Guilherme and will cover the details of the negotiation considered historic.
The striker is accompanying the delegation to Porto Alegre for the match against Internacional, but is experiencing a period of uncertainty and low minutes.

Striker Juninho traveled with the Flamengo squad to Porto Alegre, where the team faces Internacional this Wednesday (20) , for the decisive clash of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. However, the player's use is not yet confirmed . Out of the last match against Colorado for the Brazilian Championship, the center forward lost space in recent weeks and was not related in three consecutive games, including the first leg duel at Maracanã.
Internally, the club's board is evaluating the athlete's future, as he has received inquiries from Saudi Arabian football clubs, with loan proposals rejected by the club. Previously, Juninho was close to a move to Sevilla earlier this year.
Negotiations, however, were halted after coach Filipe Luís intervened, contacting the striker to convince him to join Mengão's project. The investment was substantial: R$37.2 million to acquire the number 23, who currently has no place on the team.
In 2025, Juninho played 22 matches for Flamengo , scoring just three goals and providing no assists. He played 726 minutes that season, almost always sporadically used by Filipe Luís. In the Carioca Championship, he appeared in eight matches and scored two goals.
He has already played six times in the Brasileirão, without finding the net. In the Libertadores, he played four games and scored one goal , while in the national cups and the Club World Cup, he failed to stand out.
Colorado will have important reinforcements such as Alan Patrick and Carbonero to face Flamengo in a decisive duel at Beira-Rio
