Flamengo icon Arrascaeta to receive Rio de Janeiro’s top honour | OneFootball

Tiradentes Medal is awarded to personalities who provide services to society

The Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) approved, this Thursday (11), the awarding of the Tiradentes Medal to Arrascaeta. The honor is given to personalities who provide services to society.

Thus, Resolution Project 2,248/26, by deputy Guilherme Delaroli (PL), stated that the State of Rio de Janeiro recognizes the commitment of the Flamengo athlete. The red-and-black idol has been at the club since 2019.

What does Alerj think of Arrascaeta?

“Arrascaeta is an outstanding athlete, recognized not only for his technical ability, vision, and decisive capacity, but also for his professional attitude and dedication on and off the pitch, elevating the name of the State of Rio on the national and international sports stage,” Delaroli said.

What did Arrascaeta do?

For Flamengo, the Uruguayan star achieved the feat of becoming the club’s joint most decorated player, with 18 trophies, alongside Bruno Henrique. There are three Copa Libertadores titles, three Brazilian Championships, as well as two Copa do Brasil titles, three Brazilian Super Cups, and one Recopa. In the Campeonato Carioca, the player has five titles.

Where is Arrascaeta?

The medal ceremony will take some time. That is because the midfielder is in the United States to play in the World Cup for Uruguay. However, the number 10 is still recovering from a calf muscle injury and, therefore, will miss the team’s debut.
