Zubeldía visits Fluminense museum and praises: "Such a rich history" | OneFootball

A day after securing Fluminense's spot in the group stage of the 2026 Libertadores, Luis Zubeldía visited the Fluminense Museum in Laranjeiras and left visibly impressed with the history and atmosphere of the tricolor home.

With no scheduled activities for the team, Zubeldía toured the club's social headquarters, walked through the stadium, and closely observed objects, photos, and records that help tell Flu's more than a century-long journey. The visit immediately became a source of enchantment.

“I am surprised by the beauty here. Both the stadium and the headquarters, the sports activities, the architecture... everything is really beautiful. The museum is brilliant, Fluminense's history is very rich. The participation of members and fans on the walls is genius,” said the Argentine.

The visit came at a special moment for the coach. Since taking over, Zubeldía has turned Maracanã into his absolute territory: nine consecutive home victories in the Brasileirão, all under his command, a streak that set a new historical record for the club in the competition.

The 2-0 win over Bahia on Sunday secured fifth place and a direct spot in the Libertadores, crowning the tricolor's surge in the final stretch of the championship.

The coach returns to work this Tuesday when the team regroups to begin preparations for the Copa do Brasil semifinal. Fluminense faces Vasco in two matches at Maracanã. The first is this Thursday at 8 PM (Brasília time), and the second on Sunday at 8:30 PM, in pursuit of a spot in the final.
