The reopening of the Cipec Field brought excitement to Mendes on Sunday morning (12). With packed stands, FlaMaster thrashed Amigos de Mendes 6-2 in a festive match organized by the city hall to celebrate Children's Day.
The match took place at the Centro Integrado Poliesportivo e Cultural Stadium, in Vila Wesley. Athirson, Dener, and Thiago Coimbra each scored a goal, while Beto led the victory with three goals.
During the event, the crowd enjoyed the festivities with music, games, and interaction with former players. At the end, the children stormed the field, took photos, asked for autographs, and turned the game into an unforgettable moment.
FlaMaster director Carlos Henrique, known as Kikinho, praised the opponent's performance and commended his own team's effort. “We had a tough match against a well-trained team that was tactically disciplined on the field. We took the lead, they turned it around to 2-1, and we had to chase the result,” he commented.
Despite the lopsided score, Kikinho emphasized that the contest was balanced at several moments. “The 6-2 score doesn’t reflect what the game was like,” he explained. However, the experience of the veterans made the difference in the final stretch of the match.
Besides football, the event stood out for its warm reception and tributes to Children's Day. “We were welcomed with a beautiful reception here in the city of Mendes for the reopening of the CIPEC Stadium. But it couldn’t be any different, since October 12th is celebrated as Children’s Day,” said Kikinho.
The interaction with the public marked the morning. “It was so much fun to see the children taking photos, asking for autographs, and smiling with happiness to be with their idols. For us at FlaMaster, it was a pleasure to take part in this celebration,” the director added.
Next Wednesday (15), the squad will regroup at Gávea to begin preparations for upcoming commitments. Created to bring together Flamengo idols, FlaMaster is made up of former players who have made history at the club.
In short, the project promotes festive matches and social initiatives in different cities. Furthermore, it has recently undergone a process of professionalization and now offers salaries and health plans to the athletes.
