This last Sunday (9), the Flamengo announced two new reinforcements for the women's under-17 team: goalkeeper Kauane Lima and defender Camila Seguins. Both have played for the Brazilian youth team and will now be Mais Querido players.
GETTING TO KNOW THE PLAYERS
Camila is a figure present in Brazil's under-17 squads. The new defender of Mais Querido has left Ferroviária's base to sign a contract with Rubro-Negro and is already integrated with the new companions. At 17, she still has one more year in the under-17s before moving up to the under-20s, but she can play in both categories from this year onwards. She also has a spell at Internacional.
Kauane is just 13 years old and is already part of Rubro-Negro's under-17 squad. Born in January 2011, the athlete is a great promise in Brazilian football and will now defend Sacred Mantle. And in addition to training with the team, she plays and stands out for Dellas Gol in women's futsal.
BRASILEIRÃO FEMININO U-17 WITH 32 CLUBS
The president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues, stated that the plan is to double the number of teams in the under-17 Brazilian Women's Championship. This is because, last season, the competition had 16 clubs and was played between December 13th and 25th. Each team faced their group mates once and the best two advanced to the semi-finals.
“We designed a project last year to hold a competition with girls up to 17 years old. 32 teams, from all federations, competing at national level in the competition. During the school holidays they can be playing and also the press (can cover it in full)”, said Ednaldo, before announcing dates:
“The Brazilian Championship ends on December 8th. The under-17 women's tournament will start on December 15th and end just when the 2025 calendar begins. This is to have visibility and give so many girls who play football across Brazil the opportunity to be seen.”
Mengão continues its restructuring of its youth teams and has signed a 1.94m tall goalkeeper, even though he is only 15 years old.

Flamengo has signed 15-year-old goalkeeper Nicolas, who previously played for Avaí. Born in February 2010, the young goalkeeper stands 6'4" tall and is projected to grow to 6'7" . According to the FlaZoeiro profile, Flamengo acquired 10% of the player's economic rights, with a purchase option of up to 70%. The transaction value was not disclosed.
Nicolas signed a youth development contract with Flamengo until December 2027 and will strengthen the under-15 team. The goalkeeper caught the attention of the Flamengo youth academy due to his technical and physical performance in Avaí's youth academy.
Going through a period of restructuring, Flamengo remains active in the youth academy market. Recently, the club won its second U-20 World Cup with a historic victory over Barcelona , and is already making significant changes to its roster.
Among the departures, midfielder Lorran was traded to Pisa (ITA), while Matheus Gonçalves signed with Al-Ahli (SAU). As for arrivals, Mais Querido signed striker Guilherme Barbosa , formerly of Internacional, and midfielder Kaio Júnior, who was at Juventude after a stint at Vasco.
In addition to Nícolas, the club also signed midfielder Marcelo Portela, a standout from Botafogo, to bolster the under-15 team. The youngster became famous after a viral move , when he performed a disconcerting dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
Mengão remains active in bringing reinforcements to the youth teams and has signed a deal with the player who was involved in a move with the Real Madrid star.

Flamengo continues to restructure its youth academy and has confirmed another new signing. The club has signed Botafogo star midfielder Marcelo Portela to bolster its under-15 squad . The youngster became famous after a viral move, when he pulled off a stunning dribble on Vini Jr., leaving the Real Madrid star sitting on the floor.
The incident took place in July 2024 , during a futsal game at Canto do Rio, in Niterói, where Vini took his first steps in football at the age of seven. On that occasion, Marcelo Portela not only outplayed the 2024 world player of the year, but also scored the goal in the sequence of the play .
Despite the dribble, Vini took it all in stride: he laughed at the play, congratulated the young talent, and even posed for photos with him after the match . Information about the club's new signing was initially reported by the FlaZoeiro and FlaBase pages.
Because he was born in 2010 and is not yet of legal age to sign a professional contract, Marcelo Portela signed a youth development contract with Flamengo . The agreement also provides for a division of rights with Botafogo, his previous club.
While watching the incident with Marcelo Portela continue to resonate, Vini Jr. is enjoying some downtime. Suspended from the match against Chile and not called up by Carlo Ancelotti , the striker took advantage of his time off to relax in Marbella, Spain, where he was spotted cruising on a yacht.
Even with the title won over Barcelona at Maracanã two weeks ago, Mengão continues to 'clean up' the youth team

Flamengo's under-20 team won its second Club World Cup title in the category on August 23, defeating Barcelona (ESP) on penalties. Shortly after the title, the board began a comprehensive overhaul of the youth squad , which has already resulted in the departure of more than 20 players.
According to information from YouTuber Flazoeiro in partnership with Flabase, 23 players have left the club in recent months . Because part of the negotiations involves buyout clauses, Flamengo could earn more than R$100 million if the teams choose to keep the players.
The most prominent names among those who said goodbye were Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, considered great promises from the red-black youth teams and who ended up playing in the main team led by Filipe Luís.
Flamengo also saw significant departures from its professional squad. Zenit (RUS) paid Gerson's release clause, paying €25 million (approximately R$160 million) upfront. Wesley was also traded to Roma (ITA) for €25 million, and Victor Hugo agreed to a loan deal with Santos, valid until July 2026.
