Botafogo was eliminated in the Libertadores qualifiers by Barcelona (EQU)

Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (14) to face Botafogo, in the sixth round of the Brasileirão. As Mengão’s opponent, the team from General Severiano is going through a complicated situation in 2026. As a result, this Thursday (12), members of Fúria Jovem, the club’s supporters group, went to the CT Espaço Lonier to demand answers from players and management.

— We hear things from the outside, the club doesn’t take a stand. We came to hear from you. Is something happening, is something missing for you? What happened on Tuesday was shameful. It’s complicated for you, but for us it’s even worse — said one of the fans.

What is Botafogo’s situation in 2026?

Botafogo’s ‘crisis’ in 2026 began after their elimination from the Campeonato Carioca by Flamengo in the quarterfinals. As a result, the rival had to play in the Taça Rio, becoming champions last Saturday (07), against Bangu.

Finally, last Tuesday (10), Botafogo was eliminated from the Libertadores qualifiers by Barcelona SC (EQU), right at Nilton Santos Stadium, after a 2-1 defeat on aggregate. Thus, Flamengo’s rival will have to play in the Copa Sudamericana in 2026.

And what about Flamengo’s situation?

On the other hand, Flamengo comes into the match with confidence to face Botafogo. After all, the team led by Leonardo Jardim won the Carioca title last Sunday (08), after beating Fluminense on penalties. In addition, Mengão is coming off a 2-0 victory against Cruzeiro in the fifth round of the Brasileirão.

When do Flamengo and Botafogo face each other?

The derby between Flamengo and Botafogo takes place this Saturday (14), in the sixth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match kicks off at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos.
