Palmeiras chief Leila Pereira taunts Flamengo and Bap over Maracanã | OneFootball

Maracanã will start hosting concerts from 2027

The ‘feud’ between Palmeiras and Flamengo continues to stir the scenes behind Brazilian football. The president of the São Paulo club, Leila Pereira, still can’t get Fla out of her head and once again took a jab at Mengão, as well as taking a swipe at Luiz Eduardo Baptista. That is because, starting in 2027, Maracanã will have a concert schedule.

— I saw in the press that Flamengo and Fluminense signed with a company to hold concerts at Maracanã. Wow, is Flamengo trying to give up football and become a concert venue? He (Bap) said that about Allianz Parque, saying that if Palmeiras wanted to live off concerts, it should give up football -, she said, before concluding:

— I think they want to give up football, because I saw that Maracanã is going to host concerts. In fact, if he wants, I can advise him to install synthetic turf, which is the best thing. I can even recommend our pitch, which is spectacular. He’ll like it, I’m sure -, she concluded in an interview with ‘TV Palmeiras’, which ESPN had early access to.

Will Maracanã start hosting concerts in 2027?

Yes! The Fla-Flu management announced in April that it had signed a partnership with the Brazilian company ’30e’. The company will be responsible for organizing a concert schedule at Maracanã over the next five years, starting in 2027.

However, the plan is to bring major artists to perform at Maracanã without Flamengo and Fluminense having to play their matches at other stadiums. That way, the dates will be scheduled according to the clubs’ availability.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment of the season. This Sunday (03), Rubro-Negro faces Vasco at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the 14th round of the national championship.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Rio derby.
