Flamengo Women’s Football Team to Receive Multi-Million Sponsorship

Flamengo’s Deliberative Council approved, this Tuesday (29), a partnership between the club’s women’s football team and the City Hall of Maricá. As a result, the deal will bring in R$10 million per year for the team, in addition to structural benefits for the project.

How does the partnership with Maricá work?

The contract will be between the Municipality of Maricá and Flamengo, through the Sports Department. In addition to establishing the sponsorship name and amount, the agreement also provides for investments in infrastructure. The City Hall, for example, plans to eventually build a stadium with a capacity of 30,000 people.

The team will now be called Flamengo Maricá

On the other side of the deal, Flamengo will offer the City Hall official sponsor status for the women’s team, along with an official launch of the partnership. At the same time, the contract also provides for compensation related to training facilities, travel, and advertising spaces at the Training Center and the stadium.

What is the financial impact on Flamengo women’s football?

According to president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, the value of the agreement represents more than half of Flamengo women’s football’s annual expenses. Because of this, the expectation presented is that the team will reduce its dependence on outside funding and begin generating positive financial results.

Agreement between Flamengo and Maricá includes social support

The partnership also has an important social component. This is because the Municipality of Maricá is expected to create women’s football development centers for girls aged 10 to 17. The project also includes two tryouts in the city, as well as training public school teachers in Flamengo’s methodology.

What is Flamengo Women’s current situation?

Flamengo were eliminated from the Women’s Brasileirão in the semifinals by São Paulo. In the first leg, the Girls from Gávea lost 3-1. Even so, the return leg result was not enough: another defeat, this time 1-0.

However, Flamengo have already qualified for the quarterfinals of the Women’s Copa do Brasil, where they will face Fluminense. The matches will take place on October 15 and 22, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium, on Ilha do Governador. Finally, anyone who wants to follow the clash will be able to watch it on SporTV, on pay TV.
