In the last edition of the tournament, the dominance continued, with Flamengo once again beating Botafogo in the knockout phase, this time in the round of 16, with a 2-0 series sweep.
Coach Sergio Hernandez will play his first derby in charge of the red-black team and highlighted the importance of these games and the preparation of the squad for the challenges.
"Clássicos like these are always very important. The team knows that for the fans, the derby is a different game, the atmosphere is more special. We have to concentrate like any other game and stay optimistic. We will play with all our energy. I have played more than 30 derbies in my life, I played many derbies against River when I was at Boca. I played for Argentina and Brazil many times for the national team. These are very special games. Our responsibility is to play with a lot of passion, with a lot of concentration and energy. We will try to bring joy to the Flamengo fans" , said the coach.

FlaBasquete, the current Champions League Americas champion, begins its quest for a third world championship this Thursday (18). With titles won in 2014 and 2022, the red-black team arrives at the 2025/26 season with the clear objective of repeating the feat in Singapore and consolidating itself as a global basketball powerhouse.
To achieve this goal, Flamengo formed a revamped squad, blending experienced players with promising young talents who embody the club's winning DNA. Argentine coach Sérgio Hernández, known as "Oveja," took over the team midway through last season and has already won the Champions League Americas.
FlaBasquete invested heavily to strengthen its roster. Among the reinforcements are Daniel Onwenu (formerly of Corinthians), Argentine Franco Baralle (formerly of Pinheiros), Wesley Castro, and Eric Buckner . The arrival of Dee Bost, an American point guard who became a naturalized Bulgarian, was a response to Baralle's injury, as he suffered an accident and will be out for the season.
With experience and versatility, Bost arrives to be a leader in decisive moments . Despite the departures of key players like Franco Balbi and Gallizzi, expectations are high for the team's performance at the World Cup.
Flamengo makes its World Cup debut this Thursday (18), at 6 am (Brasília time), facing the NBA G-League United team, from the United States. The match will be broadcast on Flamengo TV . The red-black nation is eager to follow the team in its quest for its third world championship , which could once again put Flamengo basketball at the top of the global stage.
Mengão wants to broadcast the tournament to its fans on YouTube, but there is still no official decision with the organizing entity.
