Flamengo won’t play again until July 22


The World Cup hasn’t even started yet, and the Rubro-Negro fans are already missing seeing Flamengo in action. That’s because Fla’s last match of the season was last Saturday (30), when the Most Beloved beat Coritiba 3-0. But what now? What will Fla’s first game be after the World Cup? 

In short, Flamengo won’t return to the pitch until July 22. On that date, the Most Beloved will face Chapecoense in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home, at Arena Condá.

So far, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has not confirmed the kickoff time for the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match. After that game, the Rubro-Negro will face São Paulo in the 20th round of the Brasileirão on July 26.

And before that?

Before that, however, the Flamengo squad will enjoy two weeks of vacation. The players will report back on June 19 at Ninho do Urubu. After that, on the 28th of the same month, the Rubro-Negro delegation will travel to Portugal, where it will play three friendlies.

On Portuguese soil, the Most Beloved will face Falkirk (SCO), Birmingham (ENG), and Benfica (POR). It is worth noting that Flamengo will travel to Portugal without the players called up for the World Cup. As a result, Leonardo Jardim will complete the squad with youth academy players.

What is Flamengo’s schedule in Portugal?

  • Trip to Portugal: 06/28
  • Match against Falkirk: 07/03 or 07/04
  • Match against Birmingham: 07/08
  • Match against Benfica: 07/11
  • Return from Portugal: 07/12
