Fluminense hit 15 home wins, one shy of Copa do Brasil record | OneFootball

Fluminense reached the milestone of 15 consecutive home victories by defeating Botafogo 1-0 last Thursday (12th) at Maracanã. This streak includes matches from the Campeonato Carioca, Copa do Brasil, and the 2025 and 2026 Brazilian Championships, consolidating the Tricolor’s strength at home.

With this result, the club is now just one win away from matching its longest home winning streak in history, recorded between June 1941 and July 1942, when the Tricolor won 16 straight matches under the command of Uruguayan coach Ondino Vieira.

At that time, the coach established himself as one of the great figures in the club’s history, accumulating 302 games, behind only Zezé Moreira and Abel Braga in the ranking of coaches with the most matches for Flu.

Current Streak Highlights Strength Under Zubeldía

The current run is happening under the leadership of Luis Zubeldía, who was hired in September of last year. Since his arrival, Fluminense has won every home match, including five derbies—two victories each over Flamengo and Botafogo, as well as a win against Vasco.

During this period, the performance is also impressive by the numbers:

In the Brazilian Championship, the record is even more remarkable: 11 wins in 11 home games, the club’s longest home winning streak in the competition’s history.

Last Slip Was Before the Coach’s Arrival

The last time Fluminense failed to win at home was on September 23rd, in a 1-1 draw with Lanús in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana. That result led to their elimination and the departure of then-coach Renato Gaúcho.

Since then, the scenario has changed completely, with Maracanã once again becoming one of the team’s main assets.

Next Match Could Equal Record

Unbeaten in the Brasileirão and champions of the Taça Guanabara, Fluminense returns to the field next Monday (16th) at 6 p.m., against Bangu at Maracanã, in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca.

If they secure another victory, the Tricolor will equal the historic mark of 16 consecutive home wins, set more than 80 years ago.

This phase highlights not only the team’s good moment, but also the importance of Maracanã as one of Fluminense’s greatest allies this season.
