Opponent of Flamengo in the Recopa Sudamericana, Lanús (ARG) will have the support of Fluminense as they try for their first-ever title next Thursday (26th), at Maracanã. The Argentinians will train at their rival’s training center before facing the four-time Libertadores champion.
Lanús will travel to Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday (24th), with departure scheduled for 5:00 PM (Brasília time) and landing in Brazil at 7:55 PM. Afterwards, on Wednesday (25th), the Argentine team will hold their only training session on Fluminense territory. The club has announced there will be no press availability, except for those holding broadcasting rights for the Recopa.
On Thursday (26th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), the final against Flamengo will take place. The return trip home is scheduled for 3:00 PM on Friday (27th), landing at 6:50 PM in Buenos Aires. Their stay in Rio de Janeiro will be at the Windsor Barra Hotel, in Barra da Tijuca.
With a goal from Rodrigo Castillo, Lanús defeated Flamengo 1-0 in the first leg of the Recopa, at La Fortaleza. Now, the Rubro-Negro will need to win by two goals at Maracanã to claim the trophy. If the Brazilian team wins by just one goal, the champion will be decided by penalties.
Flamengo will be seeking their second title, after winning the trophy in 2020 and finishing as runners-up in 2023, both times against Independiente del Valle (EQU). On the other hand, Lanús is aiming for their first-ever title, after finishing as runners-up in 2014, curiously also against a Brazilian team, Atlético-MG.
Thus, the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana will take place from 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with live coverage on the subscription channel ESPN and also on the Disney Plus streaming service. However, Coluna do Fla brings the best and most “rubro-negra” coverage, on their website, social media, and on YouTube.
