Flamengo win legal battle, pocket sum from site owner; see figures | OneFootball

Man sold ring with Flamengo symbol without the club’s authorization

Judge Ana Beatriz Brusco, of the 9th Civil Court of Brasília, ordered, on the 11th of this month, the owner of a website to pay R$ 10,000 to Flamengo. This is because the convicted man sold a men’s ring with Mengão’s symbol, which had not been authorized.

So, the Most Beloved took the matter to court to protect the trademark, which is an exclusive characteristic of the club. Leonardo Marto argued that he immediately removed the product from the Brilhe Pratas website, which, for the judge, does not erase the previous sale. Coluna do Fla got the information from the ruling published on the TJDFT website.

How did the court punish him?

In addition to the compensation, the court banned Leonardo from producing, selling, keeping stock of, or displaying for sale products bearing Flamengo’s brand without proper licensing. However, the owner of Brilhe Pratas can still appeal.

Are these rare situations?

In fact, Rubro-Negro deals with situations like this constantly. In November 2025, for example, the 6th Business Court of Rio de Janeiro ruled against BetFla for improper use of the red-and-black club’s brand.

This happened because the Most Beloved accused the betting company of parasitic exploitation. Thus, the court upheld the club’s complaint, and the company was supposed to pay R$ 50,000 for each day the name was used.

Does Flamengo suffer defeats in court?

Rubro-Negro does not always get positive results in court. That is because, at the beginning of this month, the Most Beloved was ordered to pay a multimillion amount to Pará. The former right-back is set to receive R$ 4 million in labor rights related to the period in which he played between 2015 and 2019.

How is Flamengo doing on the pitch at the moment?

Nine players from the red-and-black squad are competing in the World Cup. The rest, however, returned from the break last Friday (19). Leonardo Jardim’s men will travel to Portugal for preparation.

In July, the Most Beloved will hold a preseason camp with three friendlies on Portuguese soil. So, River Plate (ARG), Lausanne-Sport (SUI), and Benfica (POR) are Rubro-Negro’s opponents.

Thus, Fla will feel little lack of match rhythm when official matches resume. Rubro-Negro is in second place in the Brasileirão and qualified for the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
