Sesc Flamengo debuts in the Carioca Women's Volleyball Championship this Wednesday (1/10), at 8 pm, against Tijuca Tênis Clube, in Rio de Janeiro. The duel marks the return of coach Bernardinho, who was absent last week due to the death of his mother , Maria Ângela, shortly after returning from the Men's Volleyball World Championship.
The red-and-black team arrives on a high after winning the Taça Brasil in Londrina, aiming for its 20th state title. Despite the positive momentum, the coaching staff and athletes emphasize that there are still adjustments to be made to reach the desired level.
Libero and captain Laís celebrated the group's progress, but reinforced the need for focus at each stage of the tournament. "I'm very happy with our team's energy and dedication to each challenge. Winning the Taça Brasil was incredibly important for us to gain competitive rhythm . We're still in the early stages of the process, so each stage we win is incredibly valuable. But now it's all over again," she said before concluding.
Flamengo captain predicts duels: "Promises great matches"
" We know that the Campeonato Carioca promises to be a great match. Tijuca is very strong this year, and Fluminense is always a tough opponent. We'll go in focused on building our game, game after game, in pursuit of this title," he said. In the opening round, Tijuca defeated Fluminense in a tiebreak, showing that they will be a competitive opponent.
The match against Tijuca will also mark Sesc Flamengo's first home game in Rio de Janeiro in the 2025/2026 season . Tickets are now available for purchase on the Guichê Web website.
The Campeonato Carioca will feature three teams: Sesc Flamengo , Fluminense, and Tijuca Tênis Clube. They will all face each other in a home and away match, with the two best teams advancing to the final. The second match for the Rubro-Negro will be against Fluminense on Friday (3) at 8 p.m. The qualifying round will end on October 9, again against Tricolor, at Hebraica.

Flamengo ended September on a high note, leading the Brazilian Championship and securing a spot in the Libertadores semifinals . Now, the team enters October in a decisive mood, with a derby, head-to-head matches, and crucial fixtures on the calendar.
The start takes place this Thursday (02), when Rubro-Negro receives Cruzeiro, at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The duel is treated as a direct confrontation in the fight for leadership , since Flamengo has 54 points and the Minas Gerais team appears right behind, with 50.
Even if they lose, Filipe Luís's team will remain top, but with only a one-point lead . A win could widen the gap and make things more comfortable in the standings, virtually eliminating Cruzeiro from the race for first place.
Starting the month's calendar, Flamengo faces Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The confrontation will be broadcast by SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) .

With the pause in the club calendar for the FIFA Date in October, Flamengo should take advantage of the period without games to focus on one of the main internal matters : the renewal of Arrascaeta's contract , the club's great highlight of the year.
The club had reached an agreement at the beginning of the year, but negotiations cooled in May. Now, the board is moving to resume talks with the number 10's representatives as early as next week. According to GE, a proposal has been presented, but there are still points to be adjusted, including requests made by the Uruguayan midfielder.
Arrascaeta has a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2026. However, the Uruguayan has already expressed his desire to end his career with the red-and-black shirt , and the club is considering offering a renewal for another three seasons, which would extend the contract until 2029. The topic is still under internal discussion.
Since his arrival in 2019, Arrascaeta has scored 92 goals and provided 102 assists in 337 matches, contributing directly to 194 goals . Currently wearing the number 10 jersey, which he inherited after Gabigol's departure, the Uruguayan is also the team's top scorer in 2025: 19 goals and nine assists in 47 games this season.
While negotiating the renewal, Arrascaeta remains available for the next challenge. Flamengo faces Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast on SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).

Carlo Ancelotti announces, this Wednesday (1st), his third call-up in charge of the Brazilian National Team, and Flamengo is following closely . The Italian coach included at least five red-black athletes in the preliminary list, which could result in important absences for the classic against Botafogo, for the Brazilian Championship.
Brazil faces Japan on October 14th, just one day before the clash at Maracanã. Logistics make releasing players virtually impossible . The situation is further complicated by the location of the matches: the national team faces South Korea on the 10th in Seoul, and Japan on the 14th in Tokyo—both in Asia.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the names under Ancelotti's watch are Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Pedro, and Samuel Lino . Despite the risk of absences, Flamengo 's board is unlikely to file a formal complaint with the CBF. Internally, the club acknowledges the loss but understands that the situation also affects other teams, including Botafogo.
In addition to the Brazilian squad, Flamengo could also lose players to South American teams. Uruguay, Ecuador, and Colombia will play between the 13th and 14th, which could mean Varela, De La Cruz, Viña, Plata, and Carrascal are out of the derby .
The matches also involve long trips: Uruguay faces Malaysia; Ecuador faces Mexico; and Colombia faces Canada in Toronto . Even though the matches precede the derby, the physical strain and distance make it impossible for the players to return immediately.
