Flamengo squad handed second day off amid Super Data FIFA break | OneFootball

Flamengo’s squad have been granted a second day off on Sunday 27, with the Super Data FIFA window pausing domestic action. Head coach Leonardo Jardim has been using the lull to ready the side for their next outing.

After beating Red Bull Bragantino on Sunday 20, the players rested on Monday 21, then reported back to Ninho do Urubu on Tuesday 22 for four consecutive days of work, ending on Friday 25. According to Coluna Do Fla, training will resume at the CT after Sunday’s break.

Numbers are reduced by international call-ups. Samuel Lino and Pedro are with Brazil, Anthony Valencia with Ecuador, and Varela and Arrascaeta with Uruguay.

The Super Data FIFA, introduced from 2026, replaces the former September and October windows with a single 16-day block from 21 September to 6 October 2026. Nations can play up to four matches, aiming to cut repeated long-haul travel, although longer pauses increase the impact on clubs.

Flamengo return to action on 8 October against Santos in the 29th round of the Brasileirão. The match is at Vila Belmiro, kick-off 19:30 Brasília time.
