The under-20 squad of Flamengo will be responsible for kicking off the 2026 season for the club. Thus, after the break due to the festive end-of-year dates, the team returns to training this Friday (02) at CT Ninho do Urubu.

According to the report by Coluna do Fla, the entire squad is expected to resume pre-season exercises. With this, coach Bruno Pivetti will start preparing the team for the first commitments of 2026.

It's important to note that before the end-of-year break, the under-20 squad had already started their work. Therefore, this next period of activities will be crucial for Flamengo to be ‘ready’ for the Carioca 2026.

WHY IS THE FLAMENGO UNDER-20 TEAM STARTING THE CARIOCA GAMES?

The 2025 calendar for Flamengo went until December 18, when the team officially started their vacation. Now, the date for the professionals to return is set for January 12, in the morning, at CT Ninho do Urubu.

At the start of the 2026 calendar, Flamengo will rely on the under-20 ‘gems,’ who are also already part of the professional team. The expectation is that the athletes will gain even more experience and, thus, become options for Filipe Luís throughout the season.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S FIRST GAME IN CARIOCA 2026?

Flamengo's first match in the Carioca 2026 will be against Bangu, on January 14 (Wednesday). The game will kick off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Moça Bonita. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will be present and will bring all the details of the game on social media, the website, and YouTube.
