Flamengo lost 3-0 to Volta Redonda this Saturday (17) and is now focusing on the next Carioca commitment. On Wednesday (21), the Rubro-Negro faces Vasco at Maracanã. The São Januário team, in fact, has a significant absence for the classic.
This is because, on Sunday (18), Vasco announced the departure of Pablo Vegetti, who had been with the club since August 2023. The striker was sold to Cerro Porteño (PAR) and will sign a three-year contract, that is, until the end of 2028.
The first 'Clássico dos Milhões' of the 2026 season will take place this Wednesday (21), in the third round of the Carioca. Thus, the match between Flamengo and Vasco will take place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
With the defeat to Volta Redonda, Flamengo is in the penultimate position of Group B, ahead of Maricá. So far, the Rubro-Negro has only one point, with one draw and two losses. Thus, the Mengão is 'on alert' for the situation in the State Championship.
Despite requests from part of the Rubro-Negro fans for the professionals to return, Flamengo will continue using the under-20 team in the games against Vasco and Fluminense. Thus, the main team is expected to debut only on January 28, against São Paulo, in the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic.
