💰Flamengo to spend €190m, aim to be South America's Real Madrid | OneFootball

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo has announced an unprecedented financial investment strategy for the 2026 season. The Carioca club will allocate a monumental sum of $190 million between signings and salaries to build a squad capable of dominating the continent. The goal is clear: to become the "Real Madrid of America" in the short term, according to R7 Esportes.

Historic Revenues

The ambitious investment is supported by an extraordinary fiscal year for the club, which exceeded $370 million in total revenue! Flamengo's solvency is due to a combination of multiple economic factors, consolidating its financial power in the region.

Among the key factors of this success are: the signing of a record main sponsor agreement, the ticket to the Intercontinental Cup, the possibility of winning the Brasileirão, and the significant revenue generated from ticketing and membership fees.

They Want to Be the Real Madrid of America

Flamengo's sporting triumphs in 2025 have had a direct impact on its finances, including the Copa Libertadores and Supercopa do Brasil titles, as well as their participation in the Club World Cup. These achievements have generated sponsor bonuses for titles and have boosted the brand's growth globally.

With the capital injection into the squad, Mengão seeks to maintain its hegemony in America and consolidate its status as a global football powerhouse.
