CBF appoint Anderson Daronco for Flamengo v Santos in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo vs. Santos is scheduled for October 8 at Vila Belmiro

Flamengo’s next match of the season will be against Santos in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. For the October 8 clash at Vila Belmiro, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has confirmed Anderson Daronco as the main referee for the match.

So far, the CBF has not yet revealed the names of the assistant referees or the video assistant referee for the game at Vila Belmiro. Therefore, only the role of main referee has been confirmed so far, and that responsibility will fall to Daronco.

HOW HAS FLAMENGO PERFORMED WITH DARONCO IN 2026?

Daronco has officiated five Flamengo matches in the 2026 season, with four wins and one draw, and no losses. Therefore, Rubro-Negro picked up 13 out of the 15 points contested in Brasileirão matches under the referee’s command. As a result, Mengão’s record with the referee from Rio Grande do Sul on the pitch is very positive.

How is Flamengo heading into the match against Santos?

Flamengo heads into the match against Santos in very high spirits. That’s because, so far, Mengão is the outright leader of the Brasileirão with 60 points, three more than Palmeiras. In addition, Rubro-Negro is a Libertadores semifinalist, where it will face Estudiantes (ARG).

At the moment, Flamengo and the other clubs in the Brasileirão’s Série A are taking advantage of the FIFA international break to train and fine-tune their squads for the final stretch of the season. During this period, Rubro-Negro will be without Samuel Lino, Pedro, Anthony Valencia, Arrascaeta, and Varela, who are away on international duty with their respective national teams.

In addition, Ayrton Lucas and Plata are also absent from training as they recover from injuries suffered in the match against Bragantino last Sunday (20) at the Maracanã. Therefore, this time will be crucial for the players to recover from their injuries.

What is Santos’ situation?

Santos has been on the rise throughout the 2026 season. At the moment, the team from Baixada Santista is coming off an away win against Remo and, as a result, sits in eighth place in the Brasileirão with 38 points. For the clash with Flamengo, the club could be boosted by the newly signed Philippe Coutinho.
