Léo Ortiz surprises and changes his status during Flamengo’s holiday break | OneFootball

What happened to Léo Ortiz, Flamengo's defender, during the holidays?

The Flamengo squad is still enjoying their holidays before starting the 2026 pre-season. In this context, the defender Léo Ortiz took advantage of the days off to 'change' his status.

This is because, last Saturday (03), the number 3 of Mengão shared images of his wedding with Maitê Lo Sardo. Thus, Léo Ortiz is now part of Flamengo's 'married team'.

The union between Léo Ortiz and Maitê took place on the same date as the defender's birthday. As a result, the Flamengo athlete will have double reasons to celebrate every January 3rd.

HOW WAS LÉO ORTIZ'S 2025 SEASON AT FLAMENGO?

Léo Ortiz was one of the key players in the defensive system of Flamengo during the 2025 season. Alongside Léo Pereira, the athlete had notable performances. The duo, in fact, managed to keep clean sheets in several matches throughout the year.

Towards the end, Léo Ortiz ended up dealing with an injury that kept him out of important games. Due to discomfort in his right ankle, the defender was on the bench during the Libertadores final against Palmeiras. Finally, in the World Cup, the number 3 returned.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT SITUATION OF FLAMENGO'S SQUAD?

Like Léo Ortiz, the Flamengo squad is also enjoying the last stretch of their holidays. The team's return is scheduled for January 12th, in the morning, at Ninho do Urubu. It will be from there that coach Filipe Luís will start the 2026 pre-season activities.
