Fluminense women go pro, train at top-class facility

Fluminense's women's football evolved in 2026. The tricolor board professionalized all the athletes on the main team, signing their work cards and guaranteeing all the rights and benefits provided for in employment contracts.

In addition to the professionalization of all 29 athletes on the current roster, Flu also made changes to the training structure. The club's financial stability allowed the Warriors' Team to stop training in Xerém and start holding activities at CEFAN, run by the Navy. The Armed Forces facility stopped hosting Flamengo's women's team in March 2025, making it possible for Fluminense to move their training to the location.

The head of women's football at Tricolor, Amanda Storck, highlighted the development of the sport and commented on how the club's financial margin contributes to sporting evolution.

Each year, we increase investment in the sport according to our financial capacity. This year, we achieved the formalization of the athletes' contracts through the signing of their work cards, guaranteeing them all the rights of a professional contract. This moment marks the beginning of a new era for Fluminense's women's football, a path that, it's worth remembering, has been paved for quite some time now,” said Storck.

The head of the sport also spoke about maintaining the squad and emphasized the importance of new signings of experienced players, such as goalkeeper Kemelli, attacking midfielder Sochor, and forward Bruna Pelé.

The signings for the 2026 season were targeted and strategic, aiming to strengthen the squad and replace natural departures at the end of the cycle. This year, in fact, we kept most of last season's squad, with only seven new athletes, a much lower number of changes compared to previous years. The club works to strengthen the sport with financial responsibility, seeking partners, sponsorships, and specific incentive projects for women's football,” said Amanda.

Finally, Storck emphasized that Flu is working hard to secure more investments and make women's football self-sustainable in the future.

The growing visibility of the sport, driven by more broadcasts and the World Cup in Brazil, has attracted more interested brands. We are working intensely to attract more and more investments specifically for the department, which is not yet self-sustainable, but we are moving towards making it so soon,” stressed the manager.

The Warriors' Team is already preparing to compete in the Série A of the Brazilian Championship in 2026. Playing in the tournament for the third consecutive time, Fluminense will make its debut against Vitória next Saturday (14).
