Flamengo hit ‘draining’ milestone for seventh year running | OneFootball

Since 2019, Flamengo Ends Seasons with at Least 70 Matches Played

The year 2025 for Flamengo was victorious, yet extremely exhausting. This is because the Rubro-Negro reached 79 matches in the season. This number means that the Most Beloved surpasses 70 matches for the seventh consecutive time.

Besides the Brasileirão, the club had commitments like the Supercopa Rei, the final of the Libertadores, and two Club World Cups. However, the Mengão was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and was able to breathe at certain moments.

How Many Matches Does Flamengo Play Each Season?

It is noted that the cycles of 2021 and 2023 are also present, even though the club won only one title in those years. This year, however, Flamengo ended 2025 with six trophies, some more significant than others.

Is It Good for Flamengo to Have So Many Matches?

The packed schedule is dangerous for a short squad. However, the Rubro-Negro has the privilege of having more than one player for each position. Still, some players ended the period with 68 appearances, which is equivalent to almost two Brazilian Championships.

Moreover, coach Filipe Luís often complains about the short interval between matches. This happens because the coach would like to have more time for preparation, studies, and player preservation.

Does Flamengo Still Have Matches This Year?

To the relief of the players and the coach, the Flamengo squad is on vacation. The return to training in 2026, however, still has an undefined date. Thus, the under-20 team will play in the first rounds of the Carioca.
