Which Flamengo Match in the Carioca Has a Chance of Being Held in the United States?

The 2025 season isn't over yet, but FERJ is already planning the matches for the Campeonato Carioca in 2026. With that in mind, the organization is considering holding one of the state championship games in the United States.

FERJ's main idea is to take a Flamengo match to the United States, possibly against Bangu. The match between Mais Querido and the Bangu team would take place in the first round of the Campeonato Carioca 2026. This information comes from the GOAL portal.

What Is FERJ Waiting for to Make a Decision?

FERJ, however, has not yet made a decision about taking the Flamengo match to the United States. That's because the organization is waiting for the final of the Libertadores to know Mais Querido's schedule at the start of 2026.

If Flamengo holds its pre-season in the United States, as happened this year, the team would already play the first round of the Campeonato Carioca on North American soil. However, the decision to play in the USA depends on the club's calendar, which could change if they win the Libertadores.

Could There Be Other Carioca Matches in the USA?

It is important to note that FERJ will hold a meeting to hear the positions of the participating clubs. If another team holds its pre-season in the USA, there is a possibility that other Carioca matches could also be held in the North American country.
