Flamengo news round-up: Boto warning, Filhos do Manto campaign and Libertadores ticket sales | OneFootball

According to Coluna Do Fla, Flamengo’s Friday round-up features José Boto’s warning over the CBF’s foreign-player rule, a sponsor-led fan campaign, and ticket details for Estudiantes.

The club’s schedule remains paused during the Super Data FIFA, which began in September and ends in October.

Director of football José Boto warned of a concrete risk for Brazilian football, arguing Argentina could benefit from the CBF’s gradual cut to foreign players per match in the Brasileirão.

He said the measure would certainly lower the quality and competitiveness of the league. He also suggested that, perhaps within one or two years, there could be three Argentine sides in the Libertadores semi-finals, with money not spent in Brazil redirected to Argentina.

Sponsor Lubrax has launched the Filhos do Manto campaign, seeking supporters named after Rubro-Negro idols such as Zico. Zico, Andrade and Mozer are inviting fans on social media to share their stories, especially those named after icons from the 80s and 90s.

Ticket sales open on Friday at 10:00, Brasília time, for one of the season’s key games, the second leg against Estudiantes (ARG) at the Maracanã on 22 October at 21:30. A full house is expected as Flamengo chase another Libertadores final, with further information on sales timings, pricing and special services set out for supporters.
