Flamengo's record in post-World Cup matches | OneFootball

Flamengo returns to the official schedule this Wednesday (22)

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (22) to face Chapecoense in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The match, in fact, is Rubro-Negro’s first official one since the end of the World Cup. However, Fla’s track record in returns after the global tournament is not the best.

How has Flamengo fared in its post-World Cup returns?

Since the 2006 World Cup, the first edition after the Brasileirão adopted the 20-team round-robin format, Flamengo has recorded one win and three losses in return matches. It is worth noting that, in 2022, the global tournament took place in December, after the end of club competitions.

What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão?

At the moment, Flamengo sits second in the Brasileirão table with 34 points. In 17 matches, Rubro-Negro has ten wins, four draws, and three losses. League leader Palmeiras has 41 points, but with 18 matches played.

With that in mind, Flamengo sees the next four rounds of the Brasileirão as ‘key matches’ in its chase of Palmeiras. Rubro-Negro’s goal is to cut at least four of the seven-point advantage held by the São Paulo side.

Does Flamengo have absences for the match?

Flamengo has five absences for this Wednesday’s (22) match against Chapecoense. Léo Ortiz remains in physical transition, while Lucas Paquetá and Luiz Araújo are under the care of the Medical Department.

In addition, De La Cruz will be rested for the match due to the synthetic turf at Arena Condá. Finally, Jorge Carrascal is serving an automatic suspension after receiving a red card against Palmeiras.

What are the details of Flamengo vs. Chapecoense?

The match between Flamengo and Chapecoense takes place this Wednesday (22), in the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The game will be played at Arena Condá, in Santa Catarina, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of Flamengo’s 2026 season. So, stay tuned to the website, the social media, and YouTube. In addition, Globo (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match against Chapecoense.
