Flamengo academy graduate hosts charity event in Rio for 500 children | OneFootball

Matheus Gonçalves carried out a social action on Children’s Day for the second time

Midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, a product of Flamengo’s youth academy, held a social action last Sunday (12) for Children’s Day in the Bangu neighborhood. The event took place at Praça do Bangu 2 and brought together more than 500 children throughout the day.

This is the second edition of Matheus Gonçalves’s social initiative. The event featured a diverse program, including games, soccer tournaments, and toy distribution.

Free barber and braiding services were also part of the event, ensuring fun for participants. In addition, the action included soccer matches between the children.

Where is Matheus Gonçalves?

Al Ahli (SAU) paid around 8 million euros (R$ 51 million at the current exchange rate) to Flamengo to sign the player. Given the investment, the Saudi team holds the full rights to the midfielder, i.e., 100% of his pass.

How did Matheus Gonçalves leave Flamengo?

Matheus Gonçalves is one of the recent talents developed in Flamengo’s youth system. Thus, even though he was a multiple champion in Mengão’s youth ranks, the athlete was unable to firmly establish himself among the club’s professionals.

During this period, the player was loaned to Red Bull Bragantino in 2023. In fact, he came very close to joining Cruzeiro, but Flamengo decided to withdraw from negotiations.
