Flamengo will make their debut in the Brazilian Championship against São Paulo on Wednesday (28th) at Morumbis. For the first round of the Brasileirão, Filipe Luís will decide the starting lineup during training held on the morning of this Tuesday (27th).
Initially, the probable lineup for Flamengo is as follows: Rossi; Varela, Vitão, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Pulgar and Luiz Araújo; Arrascaeta, Samuel Lino and Pedro. However, the team will still be decided in the training session on Tuesday morning (27th).
Thus, at the training center, Filipe Luís will decide the starting lineup for Flamengo that will face São Paulo in a training session scheduled for 9:30 a.m. (Brasília time). It is worth noting that, despite the probable lineup mentioned above, the red-and-black coach may field a different team.
Yes! That’s because Filipe Luís’s coaching staff has been preparing Arrascaeta and Jorginho for Flamengo’s debut in the Brasileirão. However, the coach will decide if the duo will be available against São Paulo in Tuesday’s training session (27th).
In summary, Flamengo will start the Brasileirão in pursuit of the tenth title in its history. As the current national champion, coach Filipe Luís has already made it clear that one of the main goals this season is to repeat the achievements of 2025: the Brazilian Championship and the Libertadores.
Flamengo and São Paulo will play the first round of the Brasileirão starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (28th). The match will take place at Morumbis and, for this reason, the red-and-black delegation will travel to the São Paulo capital this Tuesday (27th).
Thus, Coluna do Fla will be present at Morumbis to cover all the pre- and post-match events of the Most Beloved, on YouTube. In addition, Rede Globo (free-to-air TV), GETV (YouTube) and SporTV (pay TV channel) will broadcast the Flamengo vs São Paulo match.
