Which matches did Fla play in July after the World Cup?

Did Flamengo play friendlies during this period?

Yes! During the calendar break caused by the World Cup, Flamengo took advantage of the period to play four ‘international’ friendlies. The first three matches took place in the Algarve, Portugal, as part of the team’s midseason training camp.

During that stretch, the Rubro-Negro drew 2-2 with River Plate (ARG), then beat Lausanne-Sport (SUI) 2-0, and closed out its time in Portugal with a 2-1 win over Benfica (POR). To finish the friendlies, Fla beat Olimpia (PAR) 4-2 in Brasília.

Where does Fla stand in the Brasileirão table?

After Flamengo’s 1-1 draw with Internacional, combined with Palmeiras’ win over Vitória, Leonardo Jardim’s team found itself in a complicated situation. While the Alviverde Paulista has 47 points, Fla is in second place with 39, meaning the current gap is 8 points.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

In short, because of the Copa do Brasil round of 16, Flamengo will have about ten days until its next Campeonato Brasileiro match. That is because the Rubro-Negro was eliminated from the knockout competition and is now focusing on the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.

In the meantime, Flamengo will only return to the field next Sunday (09) to face Vitória in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Finally, SporTV, on subscription TV, and Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the match.
