📋 Flu chase perfect start, reveal line-up for Cariocão round two | OneFootball

Fluminense kicks off the second round of the Cariocão 2026 this Saturday (17th) at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), when they visit Boavista in Saquarema, Região dos Lagos of Rio de Janeiro.

Just like Bangu, Vasco, and Volta Redonda, opponents from Group A along with Portuguesa and Sampaio Corrêa, the Tricolor das Laranjeiras won their debut match in the tournament.

Regarding the last game (2-1 against Madureira), Maxi Cuberas - assistant to coach Luis Zubeldía - chose only to bring in Matheus Reis in place of Santi Moreno for Fluminense.

The Argentine coach underwent a heart procedure at the beginning of the year and will not be leading the tricolor team once again.

According to the Cariocão 2026 regulations, the top four teams from each group advance to the knockout stage.

As the second most successful team in the tournament with 33 titles, Fluminense aims to lift the trophy again after two years of seeing Flamengo as champions.
