Brasileirão: 152 foreign players, see Flamengo’s names on the list | OneFootball

Flamengo has 10 foreign players, but one of them has Brazilian citizenship

The Brazilian Championship of 2025 presents a notable international diversity on the fields. This is because, after the mid-year transfer window, the tournament has 152 players from 17 different countries. Flamengo, therefore, contributes with ten foreigners in the squad, although one of them has Brazilian citizenship.

The number of foreign players is still subject to changes, as some athletes may leave clubs. Recently, Ecuadorian Enner Valencia left Internacional for Pachuca (MEX). Angolan Loide Augusto also ends his stint with Vasco, after controversies and poor performance.

How many foreigners in the Brasileirão by club?

Therefore, the red-black squad includes Argentine Rossi and the Uruguayan quartet formed by Varela, Arrascaeta, Matías Viña and De La Cruz. Thus, the list is completed with the Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata, the Spaniard Saúl, the Colombian Jorge Carrascal, the Chilean Erick Pulgar and the Italian-Brazilian Jorginho.

Can they all play?

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) increased, in 2024, the limit of foreigners per team from seven to nine players, which met a request from the clubs. Therefore, the team cannot list ten foreign players for the same match of Brasileirão and Brazil Cup.

However, Jorginho has dual nationality, since he was born in Brazil. Therefore, the midfielder has no problems being listed in this regard. It is worth noting that there are no restrictions for foreign athletes in Conmebol competitions.
