Flamengo’s Board Awaits Libertadores Final to Decide 2026 Preseason Location

Flamengo has received proposals to hold its 2026 preseason in the United States. The Rubro-Negro even sees the idea as positive, but is waiting for next year’s calendar to be finalized before making a decision.

Why Hasn’t Flamengo Decided to Hold Preseason in the United States Yet?

This is because, if they win the Libertadores, Flamengo will compete in the Club World Cup, possibly facing PSG on December 17. In other words, the Rubro-Negro squad would only go on vacation starting December 18.

Another important point is that, if they win the Libertadores, Flamengo will also have to play in the Recopa Sudamericana, between February 18 and 25. Finally, if they also win the Brasileirão title, o Mais Querido will take the field for the Supercopa do Brasil on January 24.

When Is the 2025 Libertadores Final?

Due to the number of matches that could take place if they win the Libertadores, Flamengo is waiting for the end of the continental competition to make a decision. The final of the international tournament is scheduled for November 29, against Palmeiras, in Lima, Peru.

It’s worth noting that Flamengo held its 2025 preseason in the United States. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro coaching staff approved the stay in the North American country, as they had greater control over activities, meals, sleep, and player integration.
