FIND OUT WHERE TO WATCH AND TIME OF FLAMENGO

Essential for child development, breast milk is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the “golden food”, giving rise to Golden August, a month to encourage breastfeeding. Thus, to reinforce support for the campaign, Flamengo's Social Responsibility department took, last Tuesday (27), water polo athlete Duda Martins, who is 26 weeks pregnant, and the club's mascots to meet the Maria Amélia Buarque de Holanda Municipal Maternity, a reference in humanized care for pregnant women, in the center of Rio.

As part of the activity program, the athlete received guidance on the breastfeeding process and the importance of breast milk in child development and in building bonds together with other pregnant and postpartum women cared for by the maternity ward.

“Flamengo's presence here today is extremely important because all actions aimed at Agosto Dourado aim to support, promote and increasingly encourage breastfeeding. Encouraging breastfeeding on demand, increasing breastfeeding time allows society to understand the real benefit that human milk has for both babies and mothers”, said Carla Navarrete, coordinator of the Nutrition and Dietetics Service at the Maternity Hospital and president of the Unit's Breastfeeding Committee.

“Visiting the Maria Amélia maternity ward was an incredible experience, I could see that the maternity ward is really very intense. I answered questions, learned and prepared myself a little more, and had contact with other pregnant women. Each of us had different doubts and fears, which were fully welcomed by the team that welcomed us. It was a pleasure to be part of Flamengo's social responsibility action”, said athlete Duda Martins.

Production assistant Josiane Portugal, who is also pregnant and undergoes prenatal care at the maternity ward, added. “Today I learned that only breast milk is enough and no other milk is needed for the child to grow up healthy. I loved Flamengo's presence here today. I'm a Flamengo fan, my family is Flamengo fan and I was very happy to know that Flamengo supports breastfeeding”, she praised.

As part of the proposal to humanize motherhood, the athlete received a beautiful pregnancy painting, which allowed you to understand how your baby is positioned inside your belly.

Flamengo is in a presidential election year and, as a result, campaigns have begun to be publicized. Thus, one more person applied for the election: Delair Dumbrosck, who is part of the group "Nação Sem Fronteiras".

In publicizing the campaign, Delair Dumbrosck spoke about his projects and what he thinks about the growth of sports Olympics. Furthermore, the pre-candidate also showed a sustainable solution for building his own stadium. Finally, the candidate spoke about the alternatives to internationalize the club's brand on the world stage.

Delair is an entrepreneur in the market segment real estate. Within Rubro-Negro, the pre-candidate was already president of the club in 2009, when Márcio Braga left the position. Thus, at the head of the management that had Marcos Braz as manager and Adriano Imperador on the team, the candidate for the election won the Brasileirão that year.

In addition to Delair Dumbrosck, Rodrigo Dunshee, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Maurício Gomes de Mattos, Pedro Paulo, Wallim Vasconcelos and José Carlos Peruano are also competing for the presidency of Flamengo.

The elections will be held on the day December 9, in Gávea. The time for members to vote will be from 8am to 9pm. Thus, during the day, members will choose the candidate who best fits the club's profile to lead the three-year period.

The Flamengo takes the field today for the Brazilian Women's Championship, facing Ferroviária at 3pm at the Luso-Brasileiro stadium. The match marks the last round of the first phase of the competition, a crucial moment for the Rio team. The “Meninas da Gávea” seek to guarantee the best possible position in the table, aiming for an advantage in the knockout stages that will follow.

The game will be broadcast live on SporTV, offering fans the opportunity to follow each of this decisive match. The Flamengo team has been preparing intensely for this clash, aware of the importance of finishing the group stage with a positive result. Ferroviária, this afternoon's opponent, is one of the most traditional teams in Brazilian women's football, known for its competitiveness and history of achievements. Therefore, Flamengo needs to be attentive and concentrated to overcome an opponent who will certainly offer resistance.

In preparation for the confrontation, the coach do Flamengo should have emphasized the importance of maintaining defensive consistency and attacking efficiency. The red-black team demonstrated, throughout the competition, a significant offensive capacity, but it is crucial that this effectiveness is maintained and, if possible, improved in this final game of the first phase.

In addition, the match today also serves as a thermometer to evaluate the team's evolution throughout the championship. Flamengo started the competition with ups and downs, but gained pace and improved its performance as the rounds progressed. This growth will be fundamental for the decisive phases to come.

In the context of the Brazilian Women's Championship, each point won can make a big difference in defining the crossovers for the next phases. A positive result today could ensure Flamengo a more comfortable position and possibly avoid a more complicated clash in the quarter-finals.
