Who are the victims of the fire at Ninho do Urubu?

Thus, Filipe Luís paid tribute to Athila Paixão (14 years), Arthur Vinícius (14), Bernardo Pisetta (14), Christian Esmério (15), Gedson Santos (14), Jorge Eduardo Santos (15), Pablo Henrique (14), Rykelmo de Souza (16), Samuel Thomas Rosa (15), and Vitor Isaías (15).

The young boys were sleeping when a short circuit occurred in an air conditioner in the containers where they were resting. Besides devastating families, the fire led to a legal dispute that continues to this day to hold those responsible accountable.

Why did Filipe Luís say goodbye to Flamengo?

Flamengo decided to dismiss the former left-back after two runner-up finishes in 2026, along with a decline in performance on the field. However, the coach had public support from almost all the Flamengo players and people connected to the club.

Who will replace Filipe Luís at Flamengo?

The Portuguese Leonardo Jardim is already in Rio de Janeiro to sign a contract with Flamengo. Therefore, the former Cruzeiro coach might be on the sidelines against Fluminense this Sunday (08). The match is valid for the state final starting at 9 PM (Brasília time).
