Flamengo president meets Prince of England, here’s why 👑 | OneFootball

Prince William Was Alongside Bap on the Maracanã Field

A special and unexpected visit at Maracanã. This Monday (03), British Prince William was at the Sacred Temple of football and spoke with the president of Flamengo, Luiz Eduardo Baptista. The visitor even exchanged passes with children from the NGO Onda Solidária.

In addition to the Prince and Bap, the meeting was also attended by the vice president of Fluminense, Mattheus Montenegro, and the CEO of Maracanã, Severiano Braga. It is important to highlight that both clubs lead the consortium that manages the stadium.

WHAT IS THE PRINCE DOING IN BRAZIL?

William is in the country for an event focused on environmental causes. The gathering, held in the Maracanã Honor Box, also brought together former player Cafu and leaders in the field of sustainability. At the end, the prince played football with children supported by the NGO Onda Solidária behind the goal in the North sector of the stadium.

The visit to Maracanã was part of the activities leading up to the Earthshot Prize, an international award recognizing innovation and environmental preservation projects. This event will take place next Wednesday (05), at the Museum of Tomorrow, in Rio de Janeiro.

ARE YOU GOING TO MISS THE CHANCE, PRINCE?

In short, Prince William will leave Brazil after the Earthshot Prize. In other words, he won’t have the chance to watch a Flamengo match at Maracanã. After all, the Rubro-Negro only returns to the Sacred Temple next Sunday (09), against Santos. That’s because, this Wednesday (05), the match will be away from home.

At Vila Belmiro, Flamengo will face São Paulo, for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla, on the website, social media, and YouTube. It’s worth noting that the São Paulo team won’t play at Morumbi due to a concert at the stadium.
