Flamengo begins its journey in the U-20 Libertadores this Saturday (07) in a match against Estudiantes de Mérida (VEN). The game takes place at 9 PM (Brasília time) in Quito, Ecuador. For the match, coach Bruno Pivetti has already set the red-black lineup.

Starters: Leo Nannetti; Daniel Sales, João Victor, Da Mata, and Gustavo; Luiz Felipe, Kaio Nóbrega, and Guilherme; Ryan Roberto, Alan Santos, and Josmar.
The Flamengo team arrives with the same base that won the Libertadores and the U-20 World Cup last season. Additionally, the Red-Black also includes players who gained experience in the early matches at the start of the Carioca 2026.
Besides the team already knowing each other, Flamengo also aimed to make the players feel comfortable in the competition. Thus, the Red-Black arrived in Ecuador at the beginning of the week to ensure a good adaptation to the country.
Besides Estudiantes de Mérida, Flamengo will also face Bolívar (BOL) and Independiente de Medellín (COL). It is important to note that as the last champion of the competition, Mengão is the top seed in Group A.
In this situation, after the debut against Estudiantes de Mérida, Flamengo faces Bolívar on Tuesday (10) and concludes the first phase against Independiente de Medellín on March 13 (Friday). Finally, the team that finishes in first place secures a spot in the semifinals.
The match between Flamengo and Estudiantes de Mérida takes place at 9 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (07) in Ecuador. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), SporTV (cable), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV (YouTube) broadcast the match.
