Fluminense gives children with cancer a special day at Maracanã | OneFootball

Fluminense carried out a special initiative at the Maracanã last Sunday (12), welcoming children and teenagers undergoing cancer treatment to watch the 2-0 victory over Bahia. In addition to attending the match, the guests enjoyed an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience at the stadium through a MatchDay organized by the club.

The initiative brought together patients assisted by the National Cancer Institute (INCA), the Ronald McDonald House, and the Santa Teresa Support Home for Children with Cancer, as well as their family members and guardians.

The program began before kickoff. The participants took a guided tour of the Maracanã’s internal facilities, visited the official locker rooms, and had the chance to step onto the edge of the pitch.

The most memorable moment came when the Tricolor delegation arrived at the stadium. The children welcomed the Fluminense players at the Maracanã entrance, interacted with the athletes, and closely followed the team’s preparations before the ball started rolling.
