Flamengo maintained the schedule for the professional team, which is still in pre-season. Thus, after receiving a day off last Sunday (18), the main squad of Fla will return to training this Monday (19).
In summary, according to the schedule released by Flamengo, the main squad has a full training session this Monday (19). Therefore, the players have activities starting at 9 am (Brasília time), at Ninho do Urubu.
Later, in the afternoon, the Flamengo players will have another training session at the training center. The second and last activity of this Monday (19) is scheduled for 4:30 pm (Brasília time), under the command of Filipe Luís.
Due to the physical condition of the professional squad players, Flamengo set a special preparation for this week. Thus, in addition to the full training session this Monday (19), the team will have two training sessions in the morning and afternoon also on Wednesday (21).
In summary, the professional team's debut in the 2026 season is expected to be on January 28, when Flamengo faces São Paulo, in the first round of the Brasileirão. The match will take place at Morumbi, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
Meanwhile, the under-20 team continues to represent Flamengo in the Carioca in the classics against Vasco, this Wednesday (21), and Fluminense, on Sunday (25). The match against the cross-maltese team, it is worth noting, will take place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
Currently, Flamengo's alert in the Carioca is on. This is because, in three matches played so far, the under-20 team has not won any and has only accumulated one point in a 1-1 draw with Portuguesa.
Thus, Flamengo is at the bottom of Group B of the Campeonato Carioca 2026, with only one point. The trend, if the under-20's performance continues below expectations, is that the Rubro-Negro will compete in the 'quadrangular' to avoid relegation in the State Championship.
