The Flamengo squad returned last Monday (12th) to start the 2026 pre-season. After the first activity, Emerson Royal sent a message to Vitão, the first reinforcement of the Rubro-Negro this year.
Through social media, Emerson Royal shared photos of himself doing activities at CT Ninho do Urubu. Along with the images, the full-back wrote the following: “I place this season in God's hands. Let's go all out, 2026! Welcome, Vitão. You're going to shine a lot, brother!”

As soon as Emerson Royal posted, Vitão made sure to leave a message for his clubmate: “God bless our 2026, brother”. It's important to note that in one of the shared images, the duo appeared together on the field at CT Ninho do Urubu.
Yes! Vitão was the first signing of Flamengo for the 2026 season. The athlete arrived to fill one of the gaps in the Rubro-Negro squad, which was the defense. Thus, the player is another option in the sector for coach Filipe Luís.
Vitão's debut still depends on when the main squad will debut in the Campeonato Carioca. In the initial schedule, the tendency is that the defender will already be available for the classic against Vasco next week.
While Vitão has not yet debuted, Flamengo faces Bangu this Wednesday (14th) for the Campeonato Carioca. In summary, the match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Moça Bonita. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV shows the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
