Flamengo will be present at the Brazilian Artistic Gymnastics Trophy , which will take place between May 9th and 11th, in Brasília. The competition, one of the main ones on the national calendar, will be contested using apparatus and will serve as an important preparation stage for two of the main promises of the red-black women's team: Júlia Coutinho and Gabriela Bouças.
The two gymnasts were called up to represent Brazil in the next stage of the World Cup, and the Brazil Trophy will be essential for them to gain rhythm and confidence before the international challenge . “We will focus on the preparation of Júlia Coutinho and Gabriela Bouças, who were called up for the World Cup. This competition will serve as preparation for them, since it will be the first time they will compete in an international event of this level,” explained Georgette Vidor, technical coordinator of Flamengo’s women’s artistic gymnastics team.
In addition to Júlia and Gabriela, Flamengo will have two more representatives in the adult category: Helen and Maria Eduardo Montesino , who are looking to reach the finals on the apparatus and win individual medals. However, the Club will not be at full strength in the competition. “We are going with only four adult athletes. Our Olympic gymnasts will not participate, and Larissa, who is also in the adult category, was injured. That is why we decided not to take the athletes from the youth category,” said Georgette.
The coaching staff's strategy also takes into account the season's objectives . “Although many clubs treat the Trophy as a priority competition, for us at Flamengo the main focus continues to be the Brazilian Championships by categories. Even so, we want to defend our team titles and seek individual victories”, he highlighted.
The event will have an intense schedule: official training on Thursday (9), qualifying on Friday (10), finalists' training on Saturday (11) and finals on Sunday (12). Gabriela Bouças will compete on the uneven bars and beam in the Trophy and, depending on her performance, may also expand her participation to the floor exercise in the World Cup. Júlia Coutinho has confirmed her participation on the floor exercise and is looking to put on a solid performance.
“This Trophy is a good opportunity for athletes who need more experience in competitions. We will participate to honor the event, although we are not at full strength. This is different from last year, when the competition was in Rio and we took all the athletes, including the Olympic athletes — Lorrane, Jade, Flávia and Rebeca. This year, the context is different. We will be leaner, but with the same spirit of representing the Club well and supporting our gymnasts during this time of preparation ,” concluded Georgette.

Flamengo announced this Wednesday (13) that it has terminated its sponsorship agreement with Pixbet . The contract, valid from January 2024, was for two years (until December), with the possibility of automatic renewal for two more seasons — a clause that should be activated in September.
Expected values with PixBet:
The agreement also included FlaBet, Flamengo's own betting house, managed by PixBet:
The favorite to take over Flamengo's master sponsorship , SuperBet, faces stiff competition from Betano. The club has not yet decided on a new partner, but expects to sign a contract starting in September. Both companies have submitted three-year proposals, with values exceeding R$200 million per season and bonuses for targets, which could make the deal even more lucrative.
According to the ge portal, SuperBet's offer would surpass the contract signed with São Paulo, valued at R$600 million through 2030 , and could reach R$1 billion once the goals are met. Flamengo is working to make the new deal the largest sponsorship in Brazilian football.
The relationship began to strain after delays in installment payments, a situation the company admitted, acknowledging difficulties in honoring upcoming commitments . There are indications that PixBet will not exercise the renewal clause and will leave the club.
Flamengo 's board of directors wants to end the partnership in September so that the new sponsor can take over the uniforms immediately. PixBet is pleased with this possibility due to the outstanding amounts , but if an amicable agreement isn't reached, the termination will only take place in December, as stipulated in the contract.
Besides SuperBet and Betano, other bookmakers approached the club but withdrew due to the high fees required. If PixBet's exit is confirmed, the next sponsor will need to cover not only the master contract but also the corresponding amount for FlaBet .

Flamengo has gained a high-speed "reinforcement." Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel received a club shirt autographed by Zico , the greatest idol in the club's history. The delivery took place last Monday (11), during the opening dinner of Rio Innovation Week.
Vettel, who retired from Formula 1 in 2022, is in Brazil to participate in the event that discusses technology and innovation with a focus on sustainability, a cause he embraced even before leaving the track . The event also features other athletes, such as gymnast Rebeca Andrade, who represents Flamengo .
Vettel isn't the only driver to wear the Sacred Mantle. Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, currently in Formula 1, appeared wearing the Flamengo jersey in a photo before his debut in the category. At the time, he had won a race in Austria in Formula 2.
On the current Formula 1 grid, Max Verstappen is a Vasco fan due to the influence of his father-in-law, three-time champion Nelson Piquet . Meanwhile, British driver Lando Norris received a Palmeiras jersey in 2023 and has adopted the jersey as his trademark ever since.
Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (13) in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores against Internacional. The match will be at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã . The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo (open TV), ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
