Former Alerj president considered Bap from Flamengo as deputy | OneFootball

President Luiz Eduardo Baptista of Flamengo Mentioned in Bacellar's Notes

The president of Flamengo was targeted by Rodrigo Bacellar to run for the government of Rio de Janeiro. This is because the name of Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, appeared in one of the notes of the former president of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj).

Bacellar's records mention Bap as an option for vice if he were to run for the state leadership. However, the partnership will not happen, as the former president of Alerj has been imprisoned since December 2025 due to connections with the Comando Vermelho.

But Could the President of Flamengo Be Vice Governor of RJ?

The leader of the red-and-black team is in his second year of managing the club. However, nothing prevents a representative of the team from holding multiple positions, unless the statute changes, which is unlikely.

How Is Bap's Management Going?

Luiz Eduardo Baptista took over the presidency of the Most Beloved in 2025, a victorious season with six titles. However, in 2026, the Rubro-Negro is performing poorly both on and off the field, as the director ended the club's Olympic canoeing activities to focus on football, which has already lost two trophies.

What Is Flamengo's Next Match?

Under Bap's mandate, Flamengo will take the field this Monday (02) to face Madureira, starting at 9 PM (Brasília time). The match, at Maracanã, is part of the semifinals of the Campeonato Carioca.

Thus, Coluna do Fla provides all the information about the match with “in loco” coverage. However, the broadcast of the state confrontation is on SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
