Conmebol announced on Thursday (18) the dates and times for the Recopa Sudamericana between Flamengo and Lanús (ARG). The first leg, in Argentina, takes place on February 19. The return leg will be a week later, on 02/26, at Maracanã. Both matches will be at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

WHEN WILL THE RECOPA GAMES BE?

WHO PLAYS IN THE RECOPA SUDAMERICANA?

The Recopa is the showdown between the champion of the Libertadores and the winner of the Copa Sudamericana. O Mais Querido won the continent's main tournament by defeating Palmeiras 1-0 in the grand final. Lanús qualified for the contest by overcoming Atlético-MG in the decision of the second most important tournament in South America.

HOW MANY RECOPA TITLES DOES FLAMENGO HAVE?

This will be Flamengo's third Recopa contest. Interestingly, in the other two, the opponent was the same: Independiente del Valle (EQU). In 2020, Flamengo was the champion, after a 2-2 draw in Ecuador and a 3-0 victory at Maracanã. In 2023, each team won 1-0 at their respective homes, but Mengão lost on penalties.

Lanús will attempt to win their first title. In 2014, the Argentinians were runners-up against a Brazilian team: Atlético-MG. In summary, the team from Minas Gerais, with Ronaldinho Gaúcho as the big star, won both matches: 1-0 in Argentina and 4-3 at Mineirão.

WILL THEY BREAK THE RECORD FOR TROPHIES IN 2026?

In 2025, Flamengo lifted six trophies: Supercopa, Carioca, Libertadores, Brasileirão, Derby of the Americas, and Copa Challenger. Therefore, next year, the Rubro-Negro will try to surpass this achievement, as they will have the Recopa on the calendar. Additionally, O Mais Querido will aim for the Copa do Brasil and the World Cup.
