Plan of the newly elected president Mattheus Montenegro includes acquisition of neighboring lands, hospitality, and integration of the Under-20 team with the professional team

Recently elected president of Fluminense, Mattheus Montenegro begins his term at the club with a focus on structural modernization. The president presented the project for the expansion and renovation of the Carlos Castilho Training Center, located in Barra da Tijuca, West Zone of Rio.

The plan of the new management is to expand the current area of the training center, which is 33,000 square meters. To achieve this, the project includes the acquisition of neighboring properties to the land, located next to Cidade de Deus. With the increase in physical space, the club intends to build new training fields and expand support structures.

In addition to sports improvements, the project includes the construction of facilities focused on hospitality and administration, aiming to concentrate the football department's operations on site.

One of the most significant strategic changes proposed with the renovation is the integration of the youth categories. The goal is to transfer the Under-20 team's training, which currently takes place in Xerém, to the Carlos Castilho Training Center, facilitating the transition and interaction of young talents with the professional squad.

The restructuring of the training center is part of a larger package of works, which also includes the renovation of the Estádio das Laranjeiras and the social headquarters. The resources for these interventions are expected to come from the Urban Consortium Operation (OUC), a mechanism that allows the sale of construction potential for the capitalization and renovation of football clubs.
