Flamengo could win the Brasileirão at Maracanã after 15 years | OneFootball

What is Flamengo's situation in the Brasileirão?

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (03) to face Ceará in the 37th round of the Brasileirão. As the leader of the championship, Filipe Luís' team can secure the Brazilian title against the team from Ceará. Thus, the Rubro-Negro could become national champions at Maracanã after 15 years.

That's because the last time Flamengo fans were able to ‘shout out’ as Brasileirão champions at Maracanã was during the historic 2009 campaign. Since then, the Rubro-Negro has won the title on three other occasions, but the trophy was decided far from the ‘Sacred Temple’.

And what about the 2019 and 2020 Brasileirão?

In 2019, Flamengo was crowned champion of both the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in the same weekend. However, the Rubro-Negro secured the national title while celebrating their second continental championship on a trio elétrico (sound truck). This happened because Grêmio beat Palmeiras at Allianz Parque, ‘sealing’ the trophy for Fla.

In the 2020 season, the Brasileirão title celebration took place far from the Rubro-Negro fans and in an empty MorumBis, due to the pandemic. On that occasion, Flamengo lost to São Paulo 2-1, but still became champions since Internacional did not beat Corinthians at Beira-Rio.

And now?

Now, Flamengo can secure the Brasileirão title this Wednesday (03), in front of a ‘packed’ Maracanã. As the championship leader, the Rubro-Negro has 75 points, while Palmeiras, in second place, has 70 points.

Thus, to ‘seal’ their ninth Brazilian championship, Flamengo needs to beat Ceará at Maracanã. On the other hand, in case of a draw or defeat, the Rubro-Negro will have to hope for Palmeiras to ‘slip up’ against Atlético-MG at Arena MRV.

When do Flamengo and Ceará face each other?

Looking to secure the Brasileirão title, Flamengo hosts Ceará this Wednesday (03), for the 37th round of the championship. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã. It’s worth noting that, if the Rubro-Negro wins, Filipe Luís' team will be crowned national champions.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, their website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube) and SporTV (cable TV) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Ceará match.
