Flamengo will not be standing still during the World Cup. That is because the Rubro-Negro will travel to Portugal, where they will hold a mid-season training camp. So, in addition to Benfica (POR), Mengão is negotiating friendlies with a team from England and a club from Scotland.
According to information from ‘GE’, there are ongoing talks for Flamengo friendlies against Falkirk FC (SCO), on July 3 or 4, and against Birmingham (ENG), on the 8th. In addition, the match against Benfica would be the last in the series, on the 11th of the same month.
Flamengo’s last match before the World Cup takes place this Saturday (30), against Coritiba. After that, the squad will go on vacation and, therefore, the players will report back on June 19 at CT Ninho do Urubu.
Then, on June 28, the Flamengo delegation will travel to Algarve, Portugal, where they will stay from June 29 to July 11. It is worth noting that Fla’s first match after the World Cup is scheduled for July 22, against Chapecoense, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
Flamengo’s trip to Portugal is being funded by the company SingularSport. In other words, the Rubro-Negro will not spend anything during the training period outside the country.
While the World Cup has not started yet, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment of 2026. This Saturday (30), the Rubro-Negro faces Coritiba at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão.
So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Coritiba through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
