Libertadores and Brasileirão: Flamengo face 7 October games; see dates | OneFootball

Flamengo prepares for a run in two different competitions: Brasileirão and Libertadores

Flamengo closed out the month of September with a 2-1 win over Bragantino at the Maracanã in the Brasileirão. Now, the team coached by Leonardo Jardim is turning its attention not only to the national tournament, but also to decisive Libertadores matches.

WHAT ARE FLAMENGO’S MATCHES IN OCTOBER?

Flamengo’s October marathon begins on Thursday (8), when the Rubro-Negro side visits Santos at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro. The match is part of the 29th round of the Brasileirão and marks the clubs’ return to the pitch after the FIFA international break.

Then, on Sunday (11), Flamengo returns to Rio de Janeiro to face Fluminense at 5:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the derby, Mengão leaves the country to begin its Libertadores semifinal journey.

On the 15th (Thursday), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Flamengo takes on Estudiantes (ARG) at UNO Stadium in La Plata, Argentina, in the first leg of the continental tournament semifinal. Right after that, the squad returns to Brazil for another Brasileirão commitment.

On the 18th (Sunday), at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), Rubro-Negro visits Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. After that, Flamengo returns to Rio for the decisive Libertadores match.

On the 22nd (Thursday), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Flamengo and Estudiantes meet again at the Maracanã for the second leg of the semifinal. The clash will decide one of the finalists in the continental competition. Three days later, Rubro-Negro is back in action in the Brasileirão.

On the 26th (Monday), at 8 PM (Brasília time), Flamengo hosts Atlético-MG at the Maracanã in the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. That way, the team wraps up a stretch of three matches at the Rio stadium in October.

To close out the month, Flamengo faces Vasco on the 29th (Thursday), at 8 PM (Brasília time), away from home, in the 33rd round of the league. However, the venue for the classic has not yet been confirmed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

WHY HASN’T THE CBF CONFIRMED THE VENUE FOR VASCO VS FLAMENGO?

The uncertainty over the venue comes from an off-field issue. Vasco is trying to play at the Maracanã in the Copa Sudamericana against Boca Juniors (ARG) and has gone to court amid a dispute with the consortium that manages the stadium. If it fails, the Cruzmaltino side is threatening to move the match against Flamengo away from the ‘Sacred Temple’ and take it to São Januário. That is why the CBF is still listing the venue for this match as undefined.

IS THE SCHEDULE SUBJECT TO CHANGE?

It is worth remembering that Flamengo’s schedule could still undergo changes, given such a packed and demanding calendar. Therefore, dates and times for the upcoming matches remain subject to change.
