WHAT IS FLA E-SPORTS?

Fla E-Sports is the electronic sports division of the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, founded in 2017 to compete in games such as League of Legends, Free Fire, and Valorant. Eight years ago, the organization marked the club’s entry into the world of e-sports, aiming to get closer to a younger audience and expand its reach beyond football.

In summary, the peak of Flamengo in this field occurred in 2019, when the club won the Brazilian Championship of League of Legends. With a packed arena in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, the Most Beloved lifted the trophy.

WHAT WAS FLAMENGO’S OFFICIAL STATEMENT?

“Clube de Regatas do Flamengo announces that it has decided to terminate the contract signed with Agência MDL Assessoramento Ltda., responsible for the operation of Fla E-Sports. This measure was taken due to the breach of contractual obligations, especially the non-payment of agreed amounts. The club will take appropriate legal action to collect the amounts owed. Flamengo notified MDL, seeking dialogue and presenting alternatives to resolve the default that has existed since the beginning of the contract. Despite attempts at conciliation, the company remained in default and, during this process, made sensitive information public and failed to follow clear management guidelines regarding statements about participation in tournaments, acting in disagreement with the club’s directives. Flamengo also announces that it will use this opportunity to, from now on, treat its E-Sports project with the attention it deserves, in line with its potential as an economic and relationship platform. Thus, in order to avoid strategic mistakes made previously, the choice of new partners, scope of operations, and business model will only be made after a thorough market study, which has already begun. Only then, after identifying a sustainable strategy that allows us to achieve sporting and economic returns compatible with the Flamengo brand, will we define a new approach to the gaming segment.” Clube de Regatas do Flamengo announces that it has decided to terminate the contract signed with Agência MDL Assessoramento Ltda., responsible for the operation of Fla E-Sports.
