Rogério Ceni accumulates 13 defeats in 13 games against Flamengo as coach

Flamengo's Deliberative Council will hold a hybrid meeting in Gávea next Wednesday (17) to discuss the progress of the project for its own stadium . The meeting, which begins at 6:30 pm, will allow both in-person and virtual participation, and should update council members on the technical studies on the Gasômetro site and the new agreement signed with Rio City Hall.

President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, will present detailed information on the land feasibility study, which is considered essential for determining the project's next steps. Additionally, council members will be able to learn more about the terms of the agreement signed with the City Hall and ask questions directly to the board.

MEETING WITH THE MAYOR

In August, Bap met with Mayor Eduardo Paes to discuss the stadium. At the time, the land tenure agreement for the Gasômetro stadium was signed, ensuring that the Mais Querido club will remain committed to making construction possible . The agreement also extended important deadlines for the project's completion, giving the board more breathing room to make necessary adjustments.

BAP POINTS OUT OBSTACLES

The postponement was confirmed by Bap himself in an interview with the club's official channel. According to him, the requirements contained in the City Hall's public notice made it difficult to accelerate the schedule. Despite the obstacles, the director reinforced that the stadium dream remains firm and financially sustainable for Flamengo.

" There were a series of conditions imposed in the tender for the project to move forward . When evaluating these preconditions, we realized that these steps would not be simple, quick, or easy to fulfill. Therefore, it would not be feasible to open this stadium in 2029," stated the Flamengo president.

The Brazilian Volleyball Confederation (CBV) announced this Tuesday (9) the dates and times of the first 11 rounds of the Women's Volleyball Super League . With this, Flamengo already knows its first opponents in the new season of the competition.

The red-and-black team's debut will be on October 20th, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), against Paulistano/Barueri, at the Tijuca Tennis Club Gymnasium, in Rio de Janeiro. In the second match, Flamengo faces Dentil Praia Clube, on the 31st of the same month, at Maracanãzinho.

STRENGTHENED CAST

Flamengo remains focused on preparing for the season. Bernardinho's team has already confirmed the signings of Tainara, Simone Lee, Masa Kiryu, Giovana, and Vivian . The club also attempted to sign opposite Rosamaria, a standout player for the Brazilian national team, but failed to secure a deal.

Flamengo continues its preparations to face Juventude this Sunday (14), in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The team's second-highest scorer this season, Pedro is expecting to start as a starter and could be one of the main weapons of Filipe Luís' team.

The number 9's record against the opponent excites the fans: in five matches against Juventude, Pedro has already scored six goals and provided one assist . In retrospect, the center forward also has the advantage, with three wins against the Gauchos and only two losses.

PEDRO'S NUMBERS IN 2025

The season has been full of ups and downs for Pedro. After recovering from a serious knee injury in April, the striker faced criticism for his performance in training and even became embroiled in controversy off the field . However, he managed to turn things around and is now Flamengo 's second-highest scorer this year, with 12 goals and five assists.

FLAMENGO'S MOMENT IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Flamengo leads the Brazilian Championship with 47 points (14 wins, five draws, and just two losses) . Just behind them are Cruzeiro with 44 points and Palmeiras with 43. Juventude, their next opponent, is in a difficult situation: they are in 18th place with just 21 points.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME

With Pedro available, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The Mais Querido seeks the first victory against Jaconero away from home since 1997 , when with an own goal from Rodrigo Silva, managed to come out victorious.
