Complicated in the Carioca, Flamengo focuses on the next commitment of the tournament. This is because, on Wednesday (21), the Most Beloved faces Vasco, for the third round of the State Championship. Therefore, the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FERJ) has defined the refereeing team that will lead the classic.
Firstly, Bruno Arleu de Araújo will command the whistle in the game between Flamengo and Vasco. Additionally, Thiago Henrique Correa N. Farinha and Hugo Filemon Soares Pinto will be the assistants for the third round of the Carioca. Finally, Rodrigo Carvalhaes de Miranda will be in charge of the VAR.
Referee: Bruno Arleu de Araújo; Assistants: Thiago Henrique Correa N. Farinha and Hugo Filemon Soares Pinto; VAR: Rodrigo Carvalhaes de Miranda.
At the moment, Flamengo is focusing its attention on the next commitment of the season. This is because, on Wednesday (21), the Most Beloved faces Vasco, at Maracanã. Starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), the teams will face off for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca.
It is worth noting that Rede Globo (open TV), SporTV (subscription channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the classic between Flamengo and Vasco. Finally, Coluna do Fla TV, on YouTube, will cover all the details of the match directly from Maracanã.
Currently, Flamengo's alert in the Carioca is on. This is because, in three matches played so far, the under-20 team has not won any and has only accumulated one point in a 1-1 draw with Portuguesa.
Thus, Flamengo is at the bottom of Group B of the Campeonato Carioca 2026, with only one point. The trend, if the under-20's performance continues to fall short of expectations, is that the Rubro-Negro will compete in the 'quadrangular' to avoid relegation in the State Championship.
