When will Flamengo’s next match at the Maracanã be?


The Maracanã has begun renovations on the pitch during a period with no matches involving Flamengo and Fluminense. During the FIFA international break, the goal is to replace the most worn sections of the field so as not to affect the teams for the rest of the season.

What did the Maracanã publish about the pitch replacement?

“After a run of 18 matches in 60 days since the start of the 2026 season, the Maracanã pitch will undergo pre-scheduled maintenance during the 10-day break without matches due to the FIFA international break. With the aim of maintaining the quality of the field and good playability, the partial replacement of the north penalty area — the area with the most wear and the slowest grass recovery — began this Tuesday.

At the site, turf rolls brought from a farm in Saquarema will be laid. In addition, consecutive vertical and helical cuts are planned, which will provide cleaning and uniformity across the entire pitch, followed by two decompactions and topdressing, along with a series of intensive liquid and granular fertilizations. These actions will ensure the recovery of the pitch and a significant increase in resistance for the run of matches this season”.

Flamengo’s first match at the Maracanã after the FIFA international break is scheduled for April 5, against Santos. The match is set for 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 10th round of the Brazilian Championship.
