Flamengo confirmed, this Monday, the termination of the contract of striker Felipe Teresa , 19 years old, who had a contract with the club until July 2026. The player was known for having been the author of the goal that guaranteed Rubro-Negro the title of the U-20 World Cup in 2024 , when the team was commanded by Filipe Luís.
According to information initially released by the Flazoeiro profile, the decision to terminate the contract came from Flamengo itself, motivated by dissatisfaction with the athlete's behavior in training and matches. The incident occurs amid a restructuring of the club's youth squad, which has seen several players leave in recent months.
In 2024, Felipe Teresa played 25 games and scored five goals for the U-20 team. He even came on in the second half of the red-and-black team's penalty shootout victory over Barcelona at the Maracanã , but in the final matches he was only on the bench. Despite being more experienced, the striker lost out to younger players.
Last year, Teresa received an opportunity in the professional team during the Brazilian Championship , in the match against Grêmio , when she came on at the end of the game and scored a goal.
He subsequently played only for the alternate team in the Campeonato Carioca and was never called up to the main squad again. The striker joined Flamengo in 2022, at the age of 15 , after excelling in the Campeonato Paulista with Inter de Limeira.

Flamengo confirmed the strength of the home factor and defeated Boavista 1-0, this Saturday (20), in the eighth round of the Campeonato Carioca Sub-20. The winning goal came only in the 35th minute of the second half, in a beautiful shot by Ryan Roberto , who came off the bench to decide.
With the result, Rubro-Negro reached 16 points, taking third place in the table, with a record of five wins, one draw, and two losses . The competition leader is Vasco, with 21 points so far.
Flamengo dominated possession and controlled the game from the start, but struggled to create clear-cut chances. Ryan Roberto's introduction early in the second half changed the landscape . The forward became the team's main offensive weapon and, from outside the box, hit a beautiful shot to secure the victory.
Coach Bruno Pivetti will have important absences in the next games. Defenders João Victor and Iago were called up by Ramon Menezes for the U-20 World Cup , which takes place in Chile, between September 27 and October 19. Both will be presented next Monday (22), at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis.
The Garotos do Ninho return to the field next Saturday (27) , when they face Sampaio Corrêa, at 3 pm (Brasília time), for the ninth round of the Carioca Sub-20. The match will be broadcast live on Flamengo TV on YouTube.
The player was on loan to Mengão, who will make no effort to keep him on the team, which will make him return to the São Paulo club.

U-20 World Cup winner and considered one of Tite's favorites during his time at Flamengo, midfielder Fabiano is leaving the club. On loan from Audax-SP, the 20-year-old had a contract until October 2025 , but Flamengo opted not to exercise the purchase option included in the contract.
Thus, Fabiano ends his career with Mais Querido. He only played four matches for the professional team , although his most memorable moments came in the youth ranks, where he won his major titles with the club.
The youngster won the U-20 Libertadores and the U-20 World Cup this year, in addition to being part of the main squad that won the 2025 Campeonato Carioca . His departure was reported by the FlaZoeiro profile, in partnership with FlaBase.
The midfielder last played in the Campeonato Carioca, playing 67 minutes in the 3-1 loss to Botafogo in the penultimate round. In the following match, against Nova Iguaçu, he didn't leave the bench in the 1-0 victory . In the Club World Cup, against Barcelona (ESP), he came on for the final 12 minutes of the 2-2 draw, but didn't take a penalty in the final. In the U-20 Libertadores final, he played 32 minutes.
Fabiano's peak at Flamengo came in 2024, during Tite's tenure. The coach promoted him to the first team, including him for several Brasileirão matches . At the time, the coach publicly praised the defensive midfielder's quality, reinforcing his confidence in the youngster.

On the morning of this Wednesday (17), Flamengo's young players took to the field to face Nova Iguaçu, in Gávea , for the delayed fourth round of the Taça Guanabara Sub-20. The match, broadcast by Flamengo TV , marked another performance by the world champion team over Barcelona at Maracanã.
Coach Bruno Pivetti fielded Léo Nannetti; Daniel Sales, Iago, João Victor, Gusttavo; João Alves, Pablo, Guilherme; Douglas Telles, Joshua, and Pedro Leão . Several athletes who shone in the world title were on the field, reinforcing the strength of the red-and-black squad in the category.
Despite Flamengo's favoritism, Nova Iguaçu showed organization and made life difficult for the home team . The first half ended in a 0-0 draw, with chances for both sides.
In the second half, Rubro-Negro pushed for a result and only managed to open the scoring in the 32nd minute, when defender Iago converted a penalty with a stoppage, repeating the composure displayed in the final against Barcelona. The narrow 1-0 score remained until the final whistle , but the opponent pressed and threatened Flamengo's goal in the final minutes.
Nova Iguaçu maintained its consistent run of results in the competition. So far, the team hasn't lost a match by more than one goal : they fell to Vasco 2-1 and Botafogo 1-0. Against Flamengo, they once again suffered a heavy defeat.
