Fluminense face 28,000km marathon, 18 games before World Cup | OneFootball

Fluminense will face an intense marathon of matches and travel in the coming weeks before the break for the 2026 World Cup. The Tricolor could travel up to 28,000 kilometers and play 18 matches in about two months, in a schedule that includes the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Copa Libertadores.

According to a survey by ge, the team will have games practically every three days, with international trips to Argentina, Bolivia, and Venezuela, in addition to long journeys across Brazil. The most exhausting period will be between late April and early May, when the club could travel nearly 13,000 km in just one week, with matches in different countries and states.

More than the distance, the main challenge will be managing the squad’s physical condition. With such an intense run, Fluminense is expected to rotate players more to avoid fatigue and injuries, emphasizing the strength of the squad rather than relying only on the starting lineup.

Another important point is the impact on the start of the Brazilian Championship. Libertadores travel may require some players to be rested at certain times, making strategy and planning essential to maintain performance in all three competitions.

The break for the World Cup comes as a positive factor, as it will allow for physical recovery, tactical adjustments, and a reorganization of the squad after the marathon.
