Flamengo issue apology after competition exit

Even with a packed Maracanãzinho, Flamengo could not beat Praia Clube

Flamengo was eliminated from the Women’s Volleyball Superliga on Friday (24). In front of a sold-out Maracanãzinho, the Rubro-Negro team lost to Praia Clube 3 sets to 2 in the competition’s semifinal. So, all that was left for the Most Beloved was to apologize to the crowd.

Flamengo publicly thanks the Rubro-Negro Nation for its remarkable presence at Maracanãzinho last night. The packed arena reflected a festive atmosphere, with many families in attendance, which only reinforces the role of sports as a space for togetherness and unity. The club also makes a point of recognizing the effort, dedication, and professionalism of the athletes and the entire Sesc Flamengo coaching staff throughout the season. There is pride in the path that has been built. The project remains firm, getting ever closer to its ultimate goal. We also record our thanks to the public authorities and everyone involved in the operation of the event, who ensured organization, safety, and full respect for the fans in attendance. Flamengo also congratulates president Radamés Lattari and the entire Brazilian Volleyball Confederation for overseeing an increasingly well-structured Superliga. Lastly, we congratulate Praia Clube on qualifying for the final of the competition. Flamengo will continue investing and working in a structured and ongoing way.

Did the fans make the difference?

The support from the stands worked, and Flamengo turned the game around to make it 22-20. If the score became dramatic in the first set, in the third Mengão did not falter! Rubro-Negro victory by 25-22, and the Most Beloved stayed alive in the match.

Fired up, Flamengo started the fourth set very well and quickly opened up a 9-1 lead. Rubro-Negro remained in complete control of the match, even reaching 23-10. Calmly, Bernardinho’s team closed it out at 25-11 and took the contest to a tie-break.

What is Sesc Flamengo’s next match?

Out of the final, the most successful club in the history of Brazilian volleyball says goodbye to the 2025/26 season and begins looking ahead to 2026/27. The schedule, however, has not yet been released by the Women’s Volleyball Superliga.
