Celso Barros’ wake this Sunday at Salão Nobre das Laranjeiras | OneFootball

Fluminense has announced that the wake for Celso Barros, former president of Unimed Rio, pre-candidate for the club’s presidency, and a decisive figure in the club’s recent history, will take place this Sunday (11/16) in the Salão Nobre at Laranjeiras, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Tricolor has declared official mourning for his passing and has made its facilities available to the family for the farewell and the proper tributes.

Celso Barros, who passed away this Saturday at the age of 73, made history by leading the partnership between Unimed and Fluminense from 1999 to 2014. Under his management, financial support was crucial for the club to move up from Série C and build competitive teams, which resulted in important achievements such as the 2007 Copa do Brasil, the Brazilian Championships in 2010 and 2012, and the Rio de Janeiro State Championships in 2002, 2005, and 2012.
