Inaugurated on August 4, 2023, the Flamengo Museum celebrated two years this month. To celebrate the date, the club promoted an event with the presence of idols like Zico, Andrade, Mozer, Nélio, and Olivinha. The eternal number 10 of Gávea celebrated the work of preserving the club's history, which, literally, according to Galinho, was on the ground.
— All that we fought for, sweated for years, was thrown on the ground. From that day on, I started to move so that it wouldn't happen with the history that was to come, besides football. Seeing all this happening today is gratifying —, said Zico.
— A tribute to the club, to the history of the club that I learned to love. All the sweat I left in training and games was to be a Flamengo fan. I'm very happy. Every fan should come and get to know it here. Here are the athletes, the employees who helped the club be what it is today —, added the greatest idol of the club.
In two years of history, the Flamengo Museum received more than 240,000 visitors. According to the club, the idea is that the history of Mengão be 'itinerant' and can visit states in the North and Northeast of Brazil. The one who has his name marked in the space is Olivinha, the 'god of Raça' of basketball.
— I feel privileged. I've been here almost half my life, I've been through a lot. Having a bust here, being alongside Zico, is all very incredible. I never imagined. A pride. As a basketball player, I'm representing Olympic sports. I had a bust, the first athlete of Olympic sports to have this honor. I felt very valued. The museum is amazing —, celebrated Olivinha.
Thus, the Coluna do Fla reporting team was at Gávea to cover the celebration of the two years of the Flamengo Museum. At the meeting, those present told several stories, after all.
