Galo FA begins its official journey in the 2026 Brazilian Championship this Saturday (08/01), at 2:30 p.m. The black-and-white team hosts Flamengo FA at the Municipal Stadium of Ibirité (MG) in a matchup that promises to shake up the national American football scene right at the opening of the National Super League. The event will feature free admission for the public and a live broadcast on Galo FA TV.

With a revamped structure, renewed management, and top-level additions integrated into the roster, Alvinegro takes the field with a new look, betting on a dynamic tactical scheme and a strong offensive impact. One of the main attractions for this debut is the official presentation of American wide receiver Damon Sheehy, newly arrived from European American football to lead Galo’s offense and thrill fans in Minas Gerais.
