Flamengo call meeting to unveil latest updates on Gasômetro stadium works | OneFootball

When is the meeting to show details about the construction on the Gasômetro site?

Flamengo continues to move forward with the dream of having its own stadium. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro has called the club's advisors for a meeting next Wednesday (17th) at the Salão Nobre da Gávea. In the meeting, Mengo will present updates about the construction on the Gasômetro site, located in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

The meeting will start at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) and is expected to end at 8:30 PM (Brasília time). The meeting will be held in two formats: in-person or hybrid. That is, those who cannot attend in person at Gávea next Wednesday (17th) can follow it virtually.

HOW IS THE PROGRESS OF FLAMENGO'S STADIUM?

Since taking over Flamengo at the beginning of this year, Bap has been trying to find solutions to kickstart the construction of Mengão's stadium. Currently, the Rubro-Negro has a commitment agreement signed with the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro.

It's important to emphasize that since leading Flamengo, Bap has always maintained a cautious stance regarding the stadium. In a recent interview, the Mengão leader made it clear that he will build the Rubro-Negro sports venue, but it will extend beyond the previous management's deadline, which was November 2029.

SPEAKING, BAP!

— There were a series of conditions imposed in the tender for us to advance. As we evaluated the preconditions presented as premises in the initial project, we encountered various difficulties. Things were not as simple, quick, or easy to execute. It would not be possible for Flamengo to build this stadium and inaugurate it in 2029-, he said, before concluding:

— When we went through the economic viability part, with the reality of interest rates in Brazil, it became clear that we would have to give up sports performance. Probably, it would be necessary to transform Flamengo into a SAF. We made a proposal to the City Hall and understand that the dream is still alive. Flamengo will have its stadium, but not as quickly as imagined-, concluded Bap, in an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’.
