Flamengo squad starts ‘countdown’ to end of the break | OneFootball

One week left until Flamengo’s squad returns to Ninho do Urubu

The World Cup has just begun, but Rubro-Negro fans are already missing seeing Flamengo in action. That is because Fla’s last match of the season was on May 30, when the Most Beloved beat Coritiba 3-0. Since then, Fla’s squad has been on vacation.

However, Flamengo’s players have now begun the countdown to the end of their break. That is because the Rubro-Negro squad will report back to Ninho do Urubu next Friday (19). So, there is exactly one week left until the group returns to activities.

When does Flamengo return to the pitch?

In short, Flamengo will only return to the pitch on July 22. On that occasion, the Most Beloved will face Chapecoense in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home, at Arena Condá.

So far, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has not confirmed the kickoff time for the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match. After this game, the Rubro-Negro will face São Paulo in the 20th round of the Brasileirão on July 26.

And before that?

Before that, however, the Flamengo squad will travel on June 28. In short, the Rubro-Negro delegation will head to Portugal, where it will play three friendlies during a “mid-season training camp” held during the World Cup period.

On Portuguese soil, the Most Beloved will face Falkirk (SCO), Birmingham (ENG), and Benfica (POR). It is worth noting that Flamengo will travel to Portugal without the players called up for the World Cup. As a result, Leonardo Jardim will complete the squad with youngsters from the youth academy.
