Flamengo is about to enter one of the main phases of the 2025 season. That’s because, in addition to the semifinal of the Libertadores, Mengão will have decisive matches in the Brasileirão. Thus, amid the marathon of matches for Fla and Fluminense, the Maracanã pitch is receiving special treatment.
Last Saturday (11), Maracanã hosted a concert by Sorriso Maroto. The day after the event, the pitch of the ‘Sacred Temple’ began to undergo maintenance. The treatment consists of cleaning, mowing, fertilizing, and deep decompaction of the soil.
While hosting matches at Maracanã, Flamengo continues to move forward with the project to build its own stadium. However, after new studies conducted by the Rubro-Negro, it has been determined that the construction will not be completed before 2034.
According to details released at the last meeting of Flamengo’s Deliberative Council, it will take at least two years to decontaminate the land, plus four years to remove piping. In addition, the stadium construction itself will take three years to build.
Flamengo’s next match, however, will not be at Maracanã. This Wednesday (15), Mengão visits Botafogo at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the 28th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Cazé TV (YouTube), Record (broadcast TV), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Botafogo match.
