Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (08) to face Fluminense in the grand final of the Campeonato Carioca. The classic 'Fla-Flu' will, in fact, compete for the State title for the sixth time in the last seven years.
Since the 2020 season, Flamengo and Fluminense have competed in five finals of the Campeonato Carioca. The Rubro-Negro, in fact, holds the advantage with three titles. On the other hand, the team from Laranjeiras has come out on top only twice. Thus, Mengão hopes to increase its record this Sunday (08).
In the meantime, Flamengo and Fluminense did not compete in the Carioca final only once: in 2024. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro eliminated the Laranjeiras team in the semifinals after a 2-0 aggregate victory. Thus, in the final, the team led by Tite 'crushed' Nova Iguaçu 4-0.
Fluminense secured a spot in the Campeonato Carioca final after defeating Vasco in the semifinals. After a 1-0 victory in the first leg, the rivals drew 1-1 in the second game. Meanwhile, Flamengo delivered a resounding 11-0 aggregate win over Madureira, marking their presence in the final for the eighth consecutive time.
The grand final of the Campeonato Carioca takes place at 6 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (08) at Maracanã. It is noteworthy that, in this edition of the State Championship, the decision between Flamengo and Fluminense will occur in a single match.
Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Fluminense through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the final of the Carioca.
