First Semifinal Match of the Campeonato Carioca Takes Place This Sunday (22)


The presence of Flamengo in the final of the Campeonato Carioca has been a constant over the last seven years. To make it eight, the Rubro-Negro needs to beat Madureira in the semifinal, with the first match taking place this Sunday (22).

So, since 2019, the Most Beloved has played in the state championship final. Of all those finals, Fla only lost twice, both times to Fluminense. However, the club from Gávea defeated their rival in three other finals.
