European giant sends message to Flamengo ahead of Libertadores clash | OneFootball

Bayern Munich (GER) congratulated Flamengo this Tuesday (28)

The Flamenguista Day is celebrated on October 28. For this reason, the Nation received greetings from various parts of the world. One of the messages came directly from Munich, more precisely from the Bayern (GER) club. In fact, the German team posted two club legends wearing the Sacred Mantle.

“Happy Flamenguista Day, Flamengo,” wrote Bayern on social media, along with photos of Lukas Podolski and Bastian Schweinsteiger wearing the red-and-black jersey. The images are from 2014, when the German National Team won the World Cup in Brazil. On that occasion, Adidas created a red and black outfit for the Bavarians, which became a hit among the Nation.

It’s worth remembering that the two teams faced each other in 2025. In the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, Bayern beat Flamengo 4-2 and advanced in the competition. Gerson and Jorginho scored for the Rubro-Negro, who saw Harry Kane, on an inspired day, end Mengão’s dream.

WHY IS FLAMENGUISTA DAY ON OCTOBER 28?

October 28 is chosen because it is the day of Saint Jude Thaddeus, the saint of ‘impossible causes’ and the club’s patron. Therefore, contrary to what many fans might imagine, the date does not celebrate any achievement or important match of Flamengo, but rather has a religious motivation.

WHEN DID IT START?

The special date for Flamengo fans was established in 2007, when then-mayor César Maia sanctioned, in October of that year, the law proposed by councilman Jorge Mauro. It’s important to clarify to avoid confusion: the calendar also marks ‘Flamengo Day’ on November 17, the anniversary of the Rubro-Negro.

WILL THERE BE A GIFT FOR FLAMENGUISTAS?

The Flamengo fan hopes the gift will come this Wednesday (29), after the match against Racing (ARG), in the semifinal of the Libertadores. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla, live from Avellaneda.
