Jonas Urias, coach of the Cruzeiro women's team, directed harsh criticism at the president of the Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, during a workshop promoted by FIFA. The statement came after Landim criticized the calendar planned by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) for the 2027 Women's World Cup. According to Urias, the red-black president's stance reflects an outdated view of the women's football.
“These people who still think this way are thinking against the FIFA trend. You are swimming against what FIFA is determined to achieve, so soon stop and think about who will be behind. Whether it will be the global trend of football or whether it will be the mentalities of these people”, declared the Cruzeiro coach.
Landim's criticisms of the new calendar
In an interview with 'O Globo' at the beginning of November, Landim, President of Flamengo, questioned the inclusion of an exclusive FIFA Date for the Women's World Cup, claiming that such a measure could negatively impact the calendar of Brazilian clubs.
“FIFA is growing women's football by creating a FIFA Data. Here in Brazil, it will affect (the calendar) because it will need stadiums (in 2027 World Cup). I've already spoken to Ednaldo (CBF president): “Are you going to go to Maracanã for a Chinagame against Egyptwomen's? It will be 2 thousand people. Boot at the América stadium, at any stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Go to the Bangu stadium, man. Because there won’t be more than 2 thousand people on this section, damn it”, said Rodolfo Landim.
2027 Women's World Cup Calendar
For the first time, Brazil will host the biggest women's football tournament, with Maracanãas the main stage. The stadium, known as the "Sacred Temple", will host eight matches, including the opening and final. The tournament will be played between June 24 and July 25, 2027.
Jonas Urias' position
For Jonas Urias, Landim's criticisms show a lack of commitment to advancement of women's football. He highlighted the importance of the competition as an opportunity to strengthen the sport in the country and promote equality in sport.
“So, reinforcement. Anyone who doesn't get this message and follow the same idea will, in a short time, probably realize that you are obsolete, that you have stopped in time”, concluded Jonas Arias, during an 'expert workshop' of FIFA.
The Minas Gerais coach's statement reinforces the debate about the role of big clubs, like Flamengo, in valuing women's football and adaptation to the international scenario.

Flamengo will have an important novelty on the field this Sunday (31), when it faces Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão . The club will now display the name of Betano, the new master sponsor of the Manto Sagrado, in the center of its uniform .
Until then, the sports betting company had already signed a contract with Rubro-Negro, but the shirt was only being used with the phrase “A Nação Confia” , in reference to the agreement that had not yet been officially activated.
The partnership between Flamengo and Betano runs until 2028 and provides for R$268.5 million per season. With bonuses included for winning titles and achieving goals, the contract could reach R$1 billion over the life of the contract .
In addition to the uniform display, the company is preparing a grand celebration at Maracanã Stadium to mark the official start of the partnership. 3D mosaics are planned in the stands and a concert by singer Alexandre Pires , promising a special atmosphere for the brand's debut at Manto Sagrado.
Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Grêmio, at Maracanã. The match will be broadcast on Rede Globo, on open TV (except for São Paulo), and on Premiere , on pay-per-view.

This Saturday, Roma defeated Pisa 1-0 in a Serie A match. The standout performer was Argentine Matías Soulé, who scored the winning goal. The match also featured a strong red-and-black presence : Wesley was once again a starter for Roma, while Lorran, on loan from Flamengo , watched the match from the stands.
Recently loaned by Flamengo to Pisa, Lorran was present at the stadium to observe his future teammates . Before kickoff, the youngster participated in the warm-up on the sidelines, already wearing the colors of his new club, and even greeted Wesley, his former teammate at Ninho do Urubu.
The first half featured heavy marking, numerous fouls, and few clear-cut scoring chances. The teams went into halftime with the score tied , in a game more physical than technical. After the break, Roma showed more aggression.
In the 55th minute, Soulé received a good pass, beat the marker and finished with class to open the scoring: 1-0. Shortly after, in the 61st minute, the Argentine found the net again , but the move was reviewed by VAR and the second goal was disallowed.
A regular starter, Wesley was a standout at right-back, playing as a winger in Gian Piero Gasperini's system . He proved to be solid in defense and involved in attack, traits that caught the coach's attention while he was still at Flamengo .
With the defeat, Pisa remains with just one point in the standings and returns to action on September 14th against Udinese, again at home. Roma, with six points from two games, faces Torino also on the 14th, at home.

Rede Globo will broadcast the game throughout Brazil, with the exception of São Paulo. Gustavo Villani will be the commentator, with commentary by Junior and Roger Flores . The match will also be available on Premiere, ensuring full coverage for subscribers.
Flamengo will have most of its squad available for the match. The confirmed absences are full-back Alex Sandro, recovering from a left calf injury, and defensive midfielder Erick Pulgar , who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot. Midfielder Jorginho is also doubtful, having missed recent training sessions with the rest of the group.
With the confirmed absences, the expectation is that Filipe Luís will send onto the field a Flamengo with: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz (Danilo), Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; Allan (Jorginho), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino and Pedro.
Flamengo leads the Brasileirão with 46 points so far . Grêmio sits in 14th place with 24 points. Mengão is also keeping an eye on the Corinthians vs. Palmeiras match, hoping for a stumble for the green-and-whites to further open up a lead at the top of the table.
