What did Flamengo say?

The day has come to celebrate the life of one of the club’s greatest icons of this century. A two-time Brazilian champion (2019 and 2020), two-time Super Cup champion (2020 and 2021), three-time Carioca champion (2019/20/21), Recopa champion (2020), and Copa do Brasil champion (2022), Everton Ribeiro will always be remembered as one of the captains who took Flamengo to the top of South America in Lima (2019) and Guayaquil (2022). Happy birthday, Miteiro! It was an honor to have you wearing the Sacred Jersey and bringing joy to our people. You and your family will forever be part of the Nation.

What was Ribeiro’s spell at Flamengo like?

Highly decorated and a captain! Everton Ribeiro was an important figure for Flamengo for seven seasons. The midfielder’s departure was also amicable. At the end of the 2023 season, Fla offered him only a one-year renewal, while he wanted at least two.

As a result, the two sides did not reach an agreement, and Everton Ribeiro moved to Bahia, where he is highly respected. It is worth noting that the Red-and-Black Nation still holds great affection for the former Flamengo captain, and that extends to the player’s family.

It is important to remember that Everton Ribeiro left Flamengo with 11 titles to his name. Among them were two Libertadores titles and two Brazilian league titles. Recently, the midfielder was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but after treatment, he was cured and has already returned to playing for Bahia.
