The World Cup will cause a pause in club competitions. Until then, however, Flamengo will face a marathon of matches and travel. That is because the Rubro-Negro have the Brasileirão, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil, which adds up to 18 matches and 27,660 km traveled.
However, the Most Beloved may have one more match if the game against Mirassol is scheduled before the World Cup. The clash, at the Maracanã, had to be postponed because of the Recopa Sudamericana.
Of the 18 scheduled matches, eight will require leaving Rio de Janeiro, with the longest trips taking place in the Libertadores. To play against Independiente Medellín in Colombia, Fla will have a journey of 9,586 km. To face Cusco in Peru, the Rubro-Negro will travel 6,406 km.
However, visiting the Peruvian club also means playing at an altitude of 3,399 meters. The total of 27,660 km, though, includes round trips to and from Rio de Janeiro. Within Brazil, the longest route is the 2,262 km that separate the Marvelous City from Porto Alegre, where the squad will face Grêmio.
At the moment, the Most Beloved are waiting for the international break to end, during which some of the club’s professionals are representing their national teams. For Brazil, for example, Léo Pereira and Danilo are playing against France and Croatia.
