Flamengo's women's water polo team will participate in a blood donation campaign organized by Rede D’Or, sponsor of the Flamengo Olympic Aquatics and Artistics project via the Federal Sports Incentive Law. The action will take place on May 29th, at Theatro Riachuelo, from 8am to 5pm, where temporary collection points will be installed.
Rede D'Or reported that the expectation is that approximately 300 donations will be made in both event days. The participation of Flamengo's women's water polo athletes was confirmed to MRN by the club's advisors.
Mário Sampaio, responsible for attracting donors from GSH Banco de Sangue Serum, highlighted the importance of the event being held at Theatro Riachuelo, located in the center of Rio de Janeiro, facilitating access for donors. According to him, the strategic location of the theater will allow more people to donate for the first time.
Currently, the Blood Bank's stocks have a deficit of 70%. Therefore, the event aims to rebalance the situation, with Flamengo's participation being an important tool to raise awareness and engage the population about the importance of blood donation.
Leandro Reis, vice- medical president of Rede D'Or, commented on the importance of publicizing the topic to raise awareness among the population and increase participation in blood donations. He invited people to donate blood, ensuring that there will be all the necessary structure to receive volunteers safely.
Al-Ahli, from Saudi Arabia, already has an agreement with the player, but the payment method presented did not please Mengão and the deal may not go through.

Even with an advanced agreement, the sale of Matheus Gonçalves to Al-Ahli may not materialize. The obstacle lies in the payment method proposed by the Saudi club , which creates uncertainty about the future of the 20-year-old attacking midfielder.
According to Flazoeiro and Flabase, a European club has also entered the fray, intending to make a move on the Jeddah team . Given this new opportunity, the player is reportedly reconsidering his plans and expressing a preference for European football. Saudi Arabia's transfer window closes on September 10th.
Al-Ahli's offer is valued at between €8 and €9 million (R$50 to €57 million), higher than previous offers . CSKA had offered €7 million (R$44 million), but negotiations failed. Cruzeiro offered €3.5 million (R$22 million) for 50% of the player's rights, but Flamengo backed down and kept the player on the roster.
Discovered by Ninho do Urubu, Matheus Gonçalves has played 54 games and scored six goals for the senior team since 2022. Despite his promising reputation and collective achievements, the youngster has failed to establish himself in the senior squad. In 2023, he was loaned to Red Bull Bragantino and, on several occasions, returned to the U-20s to maintain his match fitness.
His most recent highlight was Flamengo's U-20 World Cup victory over Barcelona at the Maracanã . However, in the final, the midfielder didn't perform well and missed one of the red-and-black team's penalty kicks.

Mengão's 8-0 score over Vitória in the match before the duel against Grêmio was discarded by the coach in his preparation
01 Set 2025 | 11:00 |
After the 1-1 draw between Flamengo and Grêmio this Sunday (31), at Maracanã, Mano Menezes commented on the red-black 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, which occurred days before. The coach stated that he did not use the match as a reference to prepare his team.
Mano Menezes on Flamengo vs. Vitória: "An 8-0 defeat cannot be analyzed"
"We know Maracanã, we know what the confidence of a packed stadium means when Flamengo is doing well. It's very difficult to contain that momentum. But anyone with experience in football knows that an 8-0 rout is not something to analyze; it's an exception to all exceptions ," he declared.
Mano then explained how he sees the red-and-black team currently: "You need to analyze Flamengo this season, the last few games. With Saúl's arrival, the team has taken on new characteristics. It's a team that demands awareness, changing marking, and a lot of defensive balance . Our team performed well in this regard, offering little to an opponent of this quality," he concluded.
Flamengo dominated much of the match and opened the scoring eight minutes into the second half, with a one-two between Pedro and Arrascaeta, who finished for goal . The Rio de Janeiro team created opportunities to extend their lead, but conceded an equalizer in the 40th minute. After a Grêmio counterattack, the ball hit Ayrton Lucas's arm inside the box, and the referee awarded a penalty. Goalkeeper Thiago Volpi converted, making it 1-1.
With the result, Flamengo reached 47 points and maintained its sole lead in the Brasileirão . Cruzeiro is second with 44, followed by Palmeiras with 42. Grêmio is in 12th place with 25 points. The Mais Querido will now return to action on September 14th, when it travels to Caxias do Sul to face Juventude.
