Libertadores debut and Fluminense derby: Jardim eyes Flamengo's next 2 | OneFootball

Flamengo prepare for Libertadores debut at high altitude

Flamengo beat Santos 3-1 this Sunday (05) in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. Even with the positive result, coach Leonardo Jardim has already ‘switched gears’ and started looking ahead to Mengão’s next fixtures in 2026.

— What I can say is that these are two important matches. One is in the Libertadores; last year we had some difficulties away from home, Fluminense cause problems, even though we won the Carioca trophy — he said, before finishing:

— We have to manage the squad; for sure some will play more now, then they won’t play as much against Fluminense. What doesn’t change is the work. I’ve always been like this, and I’m not going to change now that I’m old and bald — Jardim concluded.

What are the details of Flamengo’s upcoming matches?

After beating Santos this Sunday (05), Flamengo are getting ready to make their Libertadores debut. This Wednesday (08), the Rubro-Negro visit Cusco at an altitude of 3,500 meters in the opening round of the continental tournament.

After that, Flamengo turn their attention back to the Brasileirão and, on Saturday (11), face Fluminense at the Maracanã in the 11th round. The derby is scheduled for 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, with the Laranjeiras side as the home team.

What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão?

With the win, Flamengo moved up to fourth place in the Brasileirão with 17 points. It is worth noting, however, that the Rubro-Negro have played one match fewer than the top three teams. Now, Leonardo Jardim’s team hope to keep their good run going and start the Libertadores on the right foot.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo are now putting the Brasileirão ‘aside’ and focusing on their Libertadores debut. At Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega in Peru, the Rubro-Negro face Cusco (PER) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (08), in the first round of the continental competition.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Cusco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, GE TV (YouTube), Globo (free-to-air TV), and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
