Flamengo president namechecks Fluminense when discussing Libra figures | OneFootball

The president of Flamengo, Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap), commented in a recent interview on the amounts the club is expected to receive from Libra, the league negotiating the broadcasting rights for the Brazilian Championship starting in 2025. When comparing the new proposal with the current model, the official mentioned Fluminense as a reference, even though the Tricolor is part of the Liga Forte Futebol (LFF), and not Libra.

According to the president of the rival Carioca club, the difference between the amounts Flamengo and Fluminense would receive would drastically decrease: from R$ 181 million in 2024 to about R$ 23 million on average between 2025 and 2029. In other words, Flu R$ 101 million, while the rival loses R$ 57 million, if we compare the 2024 model with the forecast from 2025 to 2029.

The statement highlights how the new broadcasting rights negotiations aim to reduce financial disparities among the elite clubs of Brazilian football. Even though they are in different leagues, Fluminense and Flamengo end up being references in the debates about revenue sharing and the economic balance of Serie A.

Fluminense, in turn, remains aligned with the LFF, a group also working on proposals for fairer distribution with greater sporting and commercial value. The intention is to ensure greater balance among the clubs and to expand the collective revenue potential of the league.
