Between June 20th and July 14th, 2024 Copa América competition period, Palmeiras and Flamengo will play seven official matches. Corinthians, São Paulo and most of the Serie A teams will take to the field six times each. Brazil may not be alone, but it is an exception in the decision not to paralyze its football calendar during the continent's main national team competition.
In addition to the five-time world champion country, only three more of the 16 nations participating in the Copa América (Canada, United States and Uruguay) decided to keep their national championships running normally during the tournament that will decide the best team in the Americas.
Most of the nations that will take to the field at the Copa América have already finished their first semester national tournaments and will only resume activities at the end of July (such as Paraguay and Colombia) or will take a break in the league until the end of the continental championship (in the case of Argentina and Chile).
Among the federations affiliated to Conmebol, the one that breaks this rule is Uruguay. Its first division even postponed some matches, but has rounds scheduled for June 22/23, July 6 and July 13.
The MLS, a league that brings together North American and Canadian teams, It will not change your traditional calendar in any way. Even with the majority of matches played in the same country that will be hosting the Copa América, it will continue to be played at the normal pace, with weekly rounds.
The same goes for the Canadian Premier League, the main championship that brings together only clubs in Canada. It, however, is seen even at home as a second-tier league, since the biggest local forces are in the MLS.
In Brazil, up to 36 absencesConsidering the preliminary lists released by each participant (the official squads have not yet been finalized), the Copa América could result in up to 36 absences in Brazilian clubs.
These athletes, in fact, have already been out of action for their teams since the beginning of the month, as they were initially released for the friendlies scheduled for the FIFA Data period and are now participating in the pre-season of the their teams.
Only Flamengo, leader of the Brasileirão, must provide five players for the competition: Matías Viña, Guillermo Varela, Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Nicolás de la Cruz (Uruguay), in addition to Erick Pulgar (Chile ).
For this reason, Fla itself and eight other teams participating in Série A even made a formal request to the CBF, back in February, so that at least four rounds of the national competition coincide with the Copa América were postponed.
The request was denied by the entity due to the lack of available dates on the national calendar.
Brazil will be the last to debutBrazil's debut match, against Costa Rica, on the 24th, in Inglewood, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, will be the last of the first round of the Copa América.

Coach Tite is in a delicate situation at Flamengo. After the elimination in the Libertadores against Peñarol (URU), the coach's continuity began to be discussed behind the scenes at the club. Because of this, part of the board is trying to convince Filipe Luís to take command of the main team until the end of 2024.
However, Filipe Luís believes that it is not yet the ideal time to take on this responsibility. The former player currently coaches Flamengo's under-20 team, where he has already won the Copa Rio, against Vasco, and the World Cup, with a comeback victory over Olympiacos (GRE) at Maracanã. The information was released by journalist Paulo Vinicius Coelho.
“ Flamengo's management is trying to convince Filipe Luís to be the coach until the end of the year. No one will confirm this information, but no one has denied it. But Filipe Luís wouldn't want to take over, precisely because of the scenario of how things are happening. In other words, Tite is being raffled off in a way that is not appropriate for a coach of his size”, said PVC on the program 'De Primeira', on Uol.
According to the portal 'Coluna do Fla', Flamengo's board of directors scheduled a meeting for the weekend, with the aim of evaluating the team's recent results under Tite's command. Despite this, the possibility of dismissal before the confrontation with Corinthians, in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, is practically ruled out.
After winning the Under-20 World Cup title, on August 24, Filipe Luís commented on the possibility of coaching Flamengo's main team. The former full-back highlighted that he still needs to prepare more and gain the fans' trust in his new role before taking this step.
“The responsibility is different today (in the professional world), it largely depends on the result , not my performance. I feel the weight of work, but I'm doing what I love most, what I want and I feel increasingly prepared. I started in the right place, which is at the base. I've been wrong, I've been right. The player was left behind and I have to win the affection of the fans on the other side, as a coach. If I manage Flamengo in the future, I want to be as prepared as possible. But I still have to prepare myself”, said the U20 coach.

The Flamengomay suffer from significant absences between the 7th and 15th of October due to FIFA Data, which coincides with an important period of competitions in Brazilian and South American football. During this international window, several players who play for the Rio club are tipped to be called up by their respective national teams, which can have a direct impact on the lineup and the team's performance on the field.
The Brazilian team, Under the command of coach Fernando Diniz, up to four Flamengo athletes can be called up. One of the strongest names is Gerson. The midfielder has stood out for his versatility and quality in constructing plays, being a fundamental player for both the club and the national team. He has already been called up previously and has a great chance of being on the list for October's commitments, especially due to his ability to play in different positions in midfield, adding offensively and defensively.
Another possible call-up is Fabrício Bruno, a defender who has shown security in Flamengo's defense and gained more and more prominence. Consistency in recent matches could guarantee him a place on Diniz's list, especially considering the team's search for options to reinforce the defensive sector. His height and good presence in aerial balls are qualities that can be seen as essential.
In addition to him, Léo Ortiz also emerges as an option for the defense of the Brazilian team. Recently hired, the player quickly established himself in the starting lineup of Flamengo, showing good reading of the game and defensive solidity. His call-up will depend on the selection coach's assessment of the need for new alternatives for the defensive sector.
Finally, Ayrton Lucas, left-back, is another athlete with a great chance of being called up. His consistent performance, both in defense and in support of the attack, has attracted attention. He has become an important piece in Flamengo's tactical scheme and could be an interesting option for the Brazilian team, especially given the scarcity of prominent players in the position.
