Flamengo icon, Arrascaeta to receive Rio’s top state honour | OneFootball

Tiradentes Medal awarded to figures who provide services to society

The Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) approved, this Thursday (11), the awarding of the Tiradentes Medal to Arrascaeta. The honor is given to figures who provide services to society.

Thus, Resolution Project 2,248/26, by deputy Guilherme Delaroli (PL), stated that the State of Rio de Janeiro recognizes the commitment of the Flamengo player. The red-and-black idol has been with the club since 2019.

What does Alerj think of Arrascaeta?

“Arrascaeta is an outstanding athlete, recognized not only for his technical ability, vision of the game and decisive capacity, but for his professional attitude and dedication on and off the field, raising the name of the State of Rio on the national and international sports stage,” Delaroli said.

What has Arrascaeta done?

For Flamengo, the Uruguayan star achieved the feat of becoming the club’s most decorated player, with 18 trophies, alongside Bruno Henrique. These include three Copa Libertadores titles, three Brazilian Championships, as well as two Copa do Brasil titles, three Brazilian Super Cups and one Recopa. In the Campeonato Carioca, the player has won five titles.

Where is Arrascaeta?

The medal presentation will take some time. That is because the attacking midfielder is in the United States to play in the World Cup for Uruguay. However, the number 10 is still recovering from a calf muscle injury and, therefore, will miss the team’s debut.
