What is the world football ranking that Flamengo leads?

In recent years, Flamengo has become accustomed to competing for all the titles in the Brazilian football calendar. Not surprisingly, the Rubro-Negro is the team with the highest average number of games played in the last five seasons.

According to a survey by the ‘CIES Football Observatory’, Flamengo has an average of 78.2 matches per year, leading the ranking in world football. It is worth noting that all the top ten teams are Brazilian.

How is Flamengo doing in 2025?

So far, Flamengo has played 67 matches in 2025, with 42 wins, 16 draws, and nine losses. Thus, if they win the Libertadores and reach the Intercontinental final, the Rubro-Negro could end the year with 78 matches, matching the annual average.

Currently, Flamengo is the second place in the Brazilian Championship, with 65 points. The leader of the competition, Palmeiras, has 68 points, along with two more victories than the Rubro-Negro.

What will the Brazilian football calendar be like next year?

It is worth noting that Brazilian teams will have fewer games in the upcoming seasons. This is because the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has made some changes to the calendar, such as reducing the State Championships and the Copa do Brasil.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continues to prepare for the next commitment of the season. Thus, this Sunday (09), Filipe Luís' team will face Santos at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 33rd round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Santos game.
