Hoodoo on the line: Flamengo seek first win over Swiss sides | OneFootball

What is Flamengo’s record against Swiss teams?

Flamengo take the field this Wednesday (08) to face Lausanne Sport (SUI) in their second friendly of the mid-season break in Portugal. The match could even represent Rubro-Negro’s first-ever win against Swiss teams.

Flamengo’s record against Swiss teams is brief, with only two matches, against Young Boys (SUI) and Grasshoppers (SUI). In that span, Rubro-Negro have one draw and one loss. In other words, the Most Beloved will be chasing their first win against a Swiss club this Wednesday (08).

How did Flamengo’s two matches against Swiss teams go?

Flamengo’s first match against a Swiss team took place on July 17, 1991, against Young Boys, in the Bern International Tournament, held in Switzerland. After a 1-1 draw in regular time, with Júnior Baiano scoring Fla’s goal, Rubro-Negro came out on top in the penalty shootout, winning 5-4.

Three years later, in a friendly played at Gávea, Flamengo faced Grasshoppers and lost 2-0. The match also served as the reopening event for Gávea Stadium after renovations carried out by Mengão.

What are the match details for Flamengo vs. Lausanne?

The friendly between Flamengo and Lausanne Sport will take place at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (08), at Estádio Algarve in Portugal. As usual, Coluna do Fla is following every detail of the mid-season break and Fla’s friendlies in Portugal.

With on-site coverage from Rock Hudson and Simon Lédo, Coluna do Fla is tracking Flamengo’s every move through the website, social media, and YouTube. Finally, Band (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and SporTV (pay TV) will broadcast the match.

Why did Flamengo decide to play friendlies during the World Cup?

Flamengo’s goal is to keep the squad physically fit as soon as the season resumes after the World Cup. In this way, the friendlies serve to prepare the Rubro-Negro players for the run of matches in the final stretch of 2026.

It is worth noting that Flamengo are still alive in both the Brasileirão and the Copa Libertadores. In the national league, Rubro-Negro sit in second place with 34 points. In the continental tournament, Leonardo Jardim’s team had the best overall group-stage campaign and will face Cruzeiro in the round of 16.
