Flamengo get Thursday off after São Paulo loss in opener | OneFootball

Flamengo returns to training this Friday (30)

As the current champion, Flamengo did not start the Brasileirão 2026 as expected. That’s because, on Wednesday (28), the Rubro-Negro lost 2-1 to São Paulo at Morumbi, after leading. Despite this, the Fla squad was given a day off this Thursday (29).

In summary, Flamengo’s schedule had already been set before the defeat in the opening match of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro squad will not have any activities at Ninho do Urubu this Thursday (29) and will only return on Friday (30).

Thus, the Flamengo squad will train at the training center on Friday morning (30). According to the schedule released by the club, the players have training set to start at 9:30 a.m. (Brasília time).

What is Flamengo’s position in the standings?

With the Brasileirão still in its first round, Flamengo is in 14th place, with no points. However, since the tournament is just beginning, the table is crowded with many teams having the same points and goal difference.

When is Flamengo’s next match?

After two consecutive defeats this season, Flamengo has a chance to bounce back with a shot at a title. That’s because Filipe Luís’s team will face Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil, this Sunday (01), starting at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília.

As tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla team will be present at the stadium to cover all the details of the final. In addition, the Flamengo vs Corinthians match will be broadcast on Rede Globo, on free-to-air TV.
