Cimed CEO photo hints at new Flamengo sponsorship

Pharmaceutical company owner posted a photo with the Sacred Jersey

Flamengo may announce a new sponsorship soon. That’s because Cimed’s CEO posted a photo of a club shirt, which sparked speculation. João Adibe also had a meeting with Rubro-Negro executives this Monday (17). According to information from Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, the deal between Rubro-Negro and the company is already done. So now, all that remains is a vote in the Deliberative Council. The area where the brand will appear on the kit is still being evaluated.

What other signs do we have of the new deal between Flamengo and Cimed?

Besides the confirmed meeting and the shirt, João Adibe posted a screenshot of the Brasileirão table. Cimed’s brand, however, replaces the names of the teams sponsored by the pharmaceutical company. So:

CMD (Palmeiras);
CMD (Flamengo);
CAP;
FLU;
CMD (Cruzeiro).

Do Flamengo and Palmeiras have the same sponsor?

On Palmeiras’ shirt, Cimed appears on the team’s sleeve, while the main sponsor is still Crefisa. So, a deal between Flamengo and the company could upset the São Paulo club’s board. After all, the São Paulo side already avoided making a deal with Adidas so as not to share the same supplier as Mengão.

Who else sponsors Flamengo?

So, Cimed could join Betano, BRB, Lubrax, Hapvida, Shopee, Ademicon, and GAC. The betting company is the main sponsor, bringing in R$ 268.5 million per year for Mais Querido to occupy the center of the kit.

What is the author’s opinion?

“All that’s left is for Leila Pereira to do the same thing Palmeiras did when it lost in court in the Libra case and end the partnership with Cimed,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla, who added: “Mengão is a money-making machine, and that bothers a lot of people. ‘Where does Flamengo’s money come from?’ Every brand wants to appear on Colossal’s kit, which has the luxury of choosing the most advantageous offers,” he opined.
