Flamengo Advances in the Project to Build Its Own Stadium

The deliberative council of Flamengo will meet next Wednesday (17) for an important deliberation. During the meeting, an economic feasibility study regarding the construction of the club's new stadium in the port area of Rio de Janeiro will be presented. The study is commissioned by the Bap administration and conducted by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV).

In addition to the presentation of the study, the meeting about the stadium with the council members will discuss the ability to generate its own resources, the cost of financing, and potential partnerships. Therefore, it is possible to affirm that the club is considering naming rights for the future arena.

Where Will Flamengo's Stadium Be Located?

The new Flamengo stadium will be located in the Gasômetro area, in São Cristóvão, Rio de Janeiro. Additionally, the home of Mengão will cover an area of 86,000 square meters. Thus, the expectation is that the capacity will be 77,923 people. At Maracanã, for instance, the capacity is over 78,000.

What Is the Financial Cost of the Stadium?

The former management of Flamengo, led by Rodolfo Landim, had planned that the beloved club's own stadium would cost around R$ 1.9 billion. However, after the initial data from the new feasibility study, Bap assured that the forecasts are much higher. Therefore, the construction could reach R$ 3 billion to build the future home of Mengão.

And What About Flamengo in the Meantime?

Amidst advances in the project for its own stadium, Flamengo continues at Maracanã. However, the next game will be outside Rio de Janeiro. The Beloved is in Caxias do Sul to face Juventude this Sunday (14), starting at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi.
