Flamengo’s ‘different’ joke catches attention on social media | OneFootball

At the moment, Flamengo has five Copa do Brasil titles

Flamengo takes the field later today, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Vitória at the Maracanã, in a match that marks the club’s debut in the Copa do Brasil. With that, in search of the tournament’s sixth title, the Most Beloved made puns and joked around on social media.

“It’s Copa do Brasil day. We’ve already won five. And it’s not at all ‘hexagerated’ to say that we’re going after the sixth so that, once again, we can make history,” said Flamengo in a post published on Instagram. As a result, Mengo posted photos and videos of the five triumphs.

WHAT’S THE CONTEXT OF THE JOKE?

Flamengo is the second-most successful club in the Copa do Brasil, alongside Grêmio, with five titles in the competition. That means only Cruzeiro, which has six trophies, is above the red-and-black side on the list of the biggest winners of the national knockout tournament.

It is worth mentioning that Flamengo’s first title came in 1990, against Goiás. The second came in 2006, against Vasco. Finally, the red-and-black team lifted the trophy in 2013, 2022, and 2024, in finals against Athletico-PR, Corinthians, and Atlético-MG, respectively.

In addition, “Hexagerado” is a book by Arthur Muhlenberg. He was one of the red-and-black voices on social media and passed away last Tuesday (21). The Most Beloved’s supporter had been hospitalized since last year because of a lung disease, after recovering from leukemia following a bone marrow transplant.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

So, Flamengo will go in search of its sixth Copa do Brasil title and makes its debut in the 2026 edition this Wednesday (22). The Most Beloved faces Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the first leg of the fifth round.
