Flamengo legal team sidesteps lawsuits, saves over R$20 million in 2025 | OneFootball

Report Points to Reduction in Lawsuits and Million-Real Savings That Can Be Reallocated to Flamengo’s Budget

The Annual Activity Report from the Legal Vice Presidency released by Flamengo on Wednesday (07), states that the club saved R$ 26 million in lawsuits. The document is signed by Flávio Willeman, Legal VP, and Alexandre Rückert, department director.

This is because, in 2024, the Rubro-Negro had R$ 95 million set aside to spend on possible legal actions. By the end of 2025, however, the reserve amount dropped to R$ 69 million.

But what does this savings mean?

Thus, the Most Beloved now faces fewer legal disputes and has less capital set aside in the budget to pay for future judgments. The effect also indicates that the Gávea Club can reallocate the money to its financial balance sheet.

So, is Flamengo involved in fewer lawsuits?

At the end of 2024, the team recorded 873 lawsuits, while 628 were counted at the end of 2025. The legal battles include labor disputes, financial claims, and administrative conflicts.

Which lawsuit was Flamengo involved in during 2025?

Among the Rubro-Negro’s disputes, the tug-of-war with the Liga do Futebol Brasileiro (Libra) stands out. This is because Libra exists to boost revenues, but Fla believes that the contract with the bloc benefits the other members, but not the club itself.

Therefore, the Most Beloved took legal action and managed to block about R$ 77 million that would have gone from Grupo Globo to the Libra clubs. However, the injunction was overturned, but the Rubro-Negro has not given up yet.
