Flamengo to travel Belém direct to Quito for Independiente Del Valle (EQU) after Remo | OneFootball

Flamengo will head straight from Belém to Quito after facing Remo in Brasileirão round 26, as they close in on a Libertadores quarter-final.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the first leg against Independiente Del Valle (EQU) will be played at 2,850 metres, and the team will fly direct from Pará rather than returning to Rio de Janeiro.

The itinerary is set for Saturday 5 travel to Belém, Sunday 6 match against Remo, Monday 7 flight to Ecuador, Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 training, then Thursday 10 the Del Valle game.

Training sites and accommodation in Quito are still to be confirmed, so the squad will be away from Rio de Janeiro for at least a week.

Remo v Flamengo kicks off at 16:00 Brasília time at the Mangueirão, with the visitors seeking points away to the second-bottom side in the Brasileirão.

At Estadio Atahualpa, the Del Valle tie begins at 21:30 Brasília, with the return at the Maracanã on 17 September.

Before those fixtures, Flamengo face Botafogo at 16:00 Brasília on Sunday 30 at the Maracanã in the 25th round.
