SITUATION IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Flamengo heads into the resumption of the competition as the sole leader. With 47 points, the Rubro-Negro opened up a lead over its direct rivals . Cruzeiro, with 44, took over second place after Palmeiras' draw (43) against Corinthians, which dropped the São Paulo team to third place.

FIFA DATE COMES TO AN END

The suspension of the national calendar began on Monday (01) and ends this Wednesday (10). During the period, the teams played matches for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers , while the clubs waited to resume the competitions.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME

Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Juventude , for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul. Even in case of defeat, Mengão can maintain the leadership of the competition due to the goal difference criterion.

Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique remains at the center of debate in Brazilian football . The player was accused of causing a yellow card in 2023 during a match against Santos, with the aim of favoring his brother in sports betting.

Atlético-GO president on Flamengo's Bruno Henrique: "There must be equality for everyone"

After reviewing the case, the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) imposed a 12-game suspension and a R$60,000 fine on the athlete. The decision generated controversy, as many considered the sentence lenient given the severity of the charges , especially compared to harsher sanctions applied in similar incidents in Brazil.

CRITICISM OF ATLÉTICO-GO

One of those who spoke out was Adson Batista, president of Atlético Goianiense . In an interview with Rádio Bandeirantes News, the Dragão president criticized the disparity in the Sports Court's criteria , especially compared to other cases involving betting.

"There must be equality for everyone. Why is Bruno Henrique, wearing a Flamengo jersey, different? There were players who were out for a year, two years, and did the same thing ... Unfortunately, Brazil is a country of impunity," he declared.

Adson also extended his criticism to the Brazilian judiciary and the country's political leadership: "People say, 'Oh, I believe in justice.' I have serious doubts about the judiciary today . The example we have up there is the worst possible. Unfortunately, it's our country."

Finally, the leader called for the legislature to take a greater lead: " May our parliament, our Senate, take the reins and let everyone do their part . It's not just one Supreme Court that does everything. It judges, condemns, prohibits, does whatever it wants. Unfortunately, we are governed by this entity."

CAN BRUNO HENRIQUE PLAY IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Despite the suspension, Bruno Henrique remains free to compete in the Copa Libertadores, as the punishment only applies to tournaments organized by the CBF, such as the Brasileirão and the Copa do Brasil . According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Flamengo has already decided to appeal the decision, considering the 12-game suspension excessive. Therefore, the forward remains available for the matches against Estudiantes and possible subsequent stages of the continental competition.

The Red-Black Nation once again demonstrated its strength off the field. Launched this Tuesday (09), the online petition seeking official recognition of the fans by the United Nations (UN) surpassed 100,000 signatures in just seven hours. The goal was to reach this goal by the end of the week.

The club's greatest idol, Zico, even called on fans in a video posted on social media, asking for their commitment to reach the milestone. However, even before the appeal was widely circulated, the goal had already been surpassed by around 6 p.m. (Brasília time).

CLUB IDOLS PARTICIPATE IN THE MOBILIZATION

Besides Zico , another historical figure participated in the campaign. Adriano Imperador recorded a message encouraging mobilization and joked about the possibility of also receiving the title of " True Emperor " if the UN recognizes the fans. "We won't disappoint Didico. Mission given, mission accomplished. We're going to surpass 1 million," said the former striker, in a relaxed tone.

CLUB CELEBRATES THE NATION'S HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT

Just minutes after the goal was reached, the club released an official statement celebrating the commitment. In the statement, the board highlighted the historic nature of the "Nation at the UN " campaign and reinforced that the "Mais Querido" is not just a sports team, but also a cultural and popular symbol.

" This historic achievement proves what everyone already knows: Mengão is much more than a club. It's culture, it's identity, it's people. It's a nation ," the official statement emphasized. The campaign remains active and can be accessed on the petition's official website.
