Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (25) to face Fluminense in the fourth round of the Campeonato Carioca. Thus, the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) has defined the complete refereeing team that will be responsible for the ‘Fla-Flu’.

Yes! In the 2025 season, Alex Gomes Stefano was responsible for refereeing two games of Flamengo. In February, the referee officiated the 0-0 draw in the ‘Fla-Flu’ in the Carioca. Additionally, in October, the Rubro-Negro defeated Botafogo 3-0 in the Brasileirão with the referee on the field.
Flamengo is in fifth place in Group B, with four points. Meanwhile, the Rubro-Negro has one win, one draw, and two losses. In Group A, Fluminense is the runner-up, with six points, tied with Volta Redonda.
The classic between Flamengo and Fluminense takes place this Sunday (25), in a match valid for the fourth round of the Carioca. Thus, the ball will roll at 6 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Fluminense, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic.
