Flu to play friendlies in July and a marathon in August, see fixtures | OneFootball

After the break in the national calendar, the Fluminense squad has already returned to CT Carlos Castilho to begin preparations for the final stretch of the year.

With a promising second half of the season ahead, the team will face a decisive month of August, needing to split its focus between the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Conmebol Libertadores.

Before taking on the knockout rounds in August, Fluminense will play friendlies at the Maracanã to regain match fitness.

The first test will be against Nova Iguaçu on July 8, followed by a clash with Bahia on July 12.

The official return to the pitch in the Brasileirão will take place on July 17 against Bragantino.

Next, the Tricolor travels to face Grêmio on July 26, and closes out the month by hosting Bahia once again, this time on July 29, in matches valid for the national championship.

It is worth noting that the team will have major reinforcements for the rest of the season: Thiago Silva and Hulk.

August’s triple challenge

The following month promises to be a real test for the Tricolor squad. The team will play in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 in a derby against Vasco da Gama, with the first leg, hosted by their rival, scheduled for August 2, and the return leg, hosted by Fluminense, on August 5.

Right after that, attention turns to the Libertadores round of 16. The first leg against Argentine side Independiente Rivadavia will take place on August 11 (at home), and the decisive second leg will be played in Argentina on August 18.

In the Brazilian Championship — whose August schedule may still be changed by the CBF — Fluminense will have the following fixtures:

08/09: Botafogo (Away)

08/16: Palmeiras (Home)

08/23: Remo (Home)

08/30: Athletico-PR (Away)
