Flamengo drive helps ex-players, honours Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique | OneFootball

Platform is launched to celebrate the club’s history and connect different generations of the red-and-black fanbase

Flamengo has always represented much more than football. That is how Nação Legado was created, a platform designed to celebrate the club’s journey and bring together different generations of supporters. The initiative’s first action is Lance Histórico, a charity auction that brings together the past, present, and future of Mengão.

HOW DOES LANCE HISTÓRICO WORK?

The initiative is built on three pillars. The first honors the past, by supporting former players in financially vulnerable situations. The second celebrates the present, by paying tribute to Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique through busts dedicated to the paths of the two idols. The third builds the future, with investment in the youth academy, women’s football, and the social project ‘We Will Play Together’.

WHAT IS THE DIGITAL STAGE OF THE AUCTION?

Lance Histórico takes place in two stages. The first is digital, open to the entire fanbase, through the website nacaolegado.flamengo.com.br.

So, any fan can choose how to take part. Those who want to support the cause can contribute R$ 50 and receive an official digital certificate of recognition. Meanwhile, those who want to compete in the auction can try for one of the 131 spots at the Charity Dinner and Auction, with the right to bring a guest. The event will take place at the Maracanã on October 30, with Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique confirmed to attend.

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE NIGHT OF THE IN-PERSON AUCTION?

On the night of the dinner, the second stage of the initiative takes place: the in-person auction. This moment determines the 21 names that will be immortalized on the pedestals of the two idols’ busts. However, the highest bid of the night guarantees the winner a place on both pedestals at the same time. The next 20 bids complete the tribute, with 11 names on each base, a number that refers to the 11 players on a football team.

WHAT OTHER ITEMS WILL BE AUCTIONED?

The night also features other special items available to participants. Among them are a dinner with Zico and one guest, as well as a Flamengo match in the Maracanã’s Presidential Lounge. Also up for grabs is a kickabout at Ninho do Urubu for the winner and 35 friends. Even so, the most special item may be the limited-edition Hublot watch marking the 30th anniversary of the world title. The list is completed by jerseys autographed by club idols.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY RAISED GO?

All the money raised goes back to Nação Legado itself, divided among the three pillars already mentioned. Regarding the past, ‘Flamengo Legends’ indicates the names of former athletes to receive financial support.

In the present, the funds finance the production of the busts of Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique. For the future, the money expands the youth academy and women’s football structure, with the construction of a mini-stadium at Ninho do Urubu. In addition, it strengthens ‘We Will Play Together’, a project linked to the club’s Social Responsibility department.
