Remo protested against Flamengo fans before this Sunday’s (06) match

Flamengo supporters in Brazil’s North and Northeast have grown used to facing hateful rhetoric before matches against local teams. On the eve of the clash with Remo, this Sunday (06), the situation was no different. However, after the rubro-negro victory, Mengão took the opportunity to fire back.

“We are everyone, except a few. This is the Nation. Thank you to Pará and all of Northern Brazil! We move forward together. For us. For our own. Always,” Flamengo said in a social media post. In addition, Mengão wrote “Pride of Pará” on the image, a phrase used in Remo’s mosaic before the match.

What was Remo’s hateful message before the match against Flamengo?

On Wednesday (02), Remo made a post criticizing fans who planned to wear other teams’ shirts in the section reserved for the Pará club. The team’s official profile even deleted the post after the negative backlash.

“The admin (page administrator) is going to be direct with the jokers trying to sneak into the biggest in the North: it doesn’t matter the section. It doesn’t matter the side. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the stands or the seats. If you are in the Lion’s crowd, wear the Lion’s shirt,” Remo wrote.

What was the attendance for Flamengo vs. Remo?

More than 45,000 fans showed up at Mangueirão this Sunday (06), as Flamengo beat Remo 1-0. The rubro-negro fans, as usual, sold out the tickets for the match and put on a beautiful show in the stadium. It is no surprise that the Nation was praised by coach Leonardo Jardim in the post-match press conference.

First of all, my words are for our fans. Not only today, in the stadium, but also yesterday, when they gave us a spectacular استقبال. I’ve said it a few times already, I don’t know if at Flamengo, but one of my motivations for coming to the Brazilian Championship was the fans. Sometimes we compare leagues, but in one thing this league is strong: the fans. There is celebration. And I’m not talking only about Flamengo fans, because today we saw Remo’s fans put on a spectacular show. In every stadium there is a celebration. I’ve been in several championships, but I don’t see anyone as passionate as here in Brazil. I worked in Asia, at Al-Hilal (SAU), which is also a club with many people. When we won the Asian Champions League, there were 200,000 people celebrating. In Portugal, at Sporting. In Greece, at Olympiacos. But the fans here come out to welcome the teams, not only Flamengo. Even second-division fans put on great celebrations. That’s why I say that many people debate the league’s place on the world stage, but I’m sure that when it comes to fans, it is number one,” said the Portuguese coach.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo will now put the Brasileirão ‘to the side’ and turn its focus back to the Copa Libertadores. This Thursday (10), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Independiente del Valle (ECU) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa, in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla brings you every detail of Flamengo’s 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match against Independiente del Valle.
