Bap on first year as Flamengo president after Libertadores win

What did Bap say after Flamengo’s Libertadores title?

President of Flamengo, Luiz Eduardo Baptista is about to complete one year of his term at the Rubro-Negro. After winning their fourth Libertadores title last Saturday (29), Bap reflected on the team’s performance in his first season at the helm of the Most Beloved.

I think it’s the work of a lot of people, the planning, the professionalization… Every day you have to understand there’s room to improve, discuss what went wrong without taking it personally. The humility to realize you can always get better. We have an amazing team, we want to win absolutely everything. I said during the election campaign that I wouldn’t accept not winning absolutely everything. I’m a grown man and I know it’s not true that you’ll win everything, but having the purpose of winning everything, day in and day out, is absolutely fundamental. This crowns the special work of this year. And hopefully on Wednesday we’ll be lifting another trophy. Flamengo wants to be hegemonic, wants to win absolutely everything: spitting for distance, javelin, target shooting, rowing without oars, basketball without a ball… This is for each one of you, for all 45 million, to have an absolutely special end of the year,” said Bap.

How many titles has Flamengo won in 2025?

So far, Flamengo has won three titles in Bap’s first year as president. At the start of the season, Filipe Luís’ team won the Supercopa do Brasil after beating Botafogo, and the Campeonato Carioca after defeating Fluminense.
