The ball is about to roll for the friendly between Flamengo and Lausanne Sport (SUI) this Wednesday (08), at 4:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Algarve, in Portugal. Coluna do Fla reports that GETV, on YouTube, will broadcast the match live.
In addition, Band (free-to-air TV) and Bandplay (streaming) will also air the game. Finally, SporTV and Premiere will show the clash on subscription TV and pay-per-view, respectively.
The most Flamengo-focused coverage is on Coluna do Fla. Reporters Simon Lédo and Rock Hudson are on site, while Leo José and Lucas Pessin lead the broadcast on YouTube. In addition, fans can find all the information on the website and follow live updates on social media before, during, and after the final whistle.
Flamengo takes the field with a lineup set by coach Leonardo Jardim. The starting eleven features the following names: Andrew; Royal, João Victor, Vitão and Johnny; Evertton Araújo, Saúl and Luiz Araújo, Joshua; Everton Cebolinha and Wallace Yan.
Rubro-Negro opened the friendly series with a 2-2 draw against River Plate (ARG) on Friday (03). Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique found the net in the first test on European soil. Now, Leonardo Jardim is looking for tactical adjustments and evaluating alternatives for the rest of the 2026 season.
The coaching staff is using the mid-season break to observe youth academy players and assess backups. The goal is to keep the squad match-fit ahead of the return of the Brasileirão and the continuation of the Copa Libertadores after the World Cup break.
Leonardo Jardim is without nine players called up by their respective national teams: Arrascaeta, Varela, De la Cruz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Danilo, Lucas Paquetá, Gonzalo Plata, and Jorge Carrascal. None of these players traveled to Portugal for the mid-season training period.
In addition to the absences due to call-ups, Léo Ortiz also remains out. The center-back is recovering from a thigh muscle injury suffered in the last official match before the break. The coach is using this Wednesday’s game (08) to give more minutes to the youth players included in the squad in Europe.
