Flamengo continues its preparations to face Cruzeiro on Wednesday (11), for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship. Meanwhile, two teams are competing for a spot in the 2026 Libertadores this Tuesday (10).
*Brasília time.
Botafogo and Barcelona are battling for a spot in the group stage of the Libertadores at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Tuesday (10), at Nilton Santos. The tie is still wide open, as the teams drew 1-1 in the first leg in Ecuador. Thus, if the aggregate score remains tied, the qualifier will be decided by penalties.
Before the group stage of the Libertadores begins, the competition will have three knockout rounds that will determine four teams for the main stage. In this context, the teams are competing in the third stage of the Libertadores qualifiers, and Botafogo is the only Brazilian representative.
Conmebol has already set the date for the group stage draw of the Libertadores. Thus, at 8:00 PM (Brasília time) on March 19, Flamengo, the current champion and top seed of Group A, will find out its opponents in the continental competition.
Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment of the season. This Wednesday (11), the team led by Leonardo Jardim will face Cruzeiro at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
