Flamengo holds its first training session of 2025, aiming for its debut in the Carioca Championship

The year started with a lot of hard work at Ninho do Urubu! On the first working day of 2025, Flamengo's U-20 team continued its preparations for its debut in the Campeonato Carioca, which will be against Boavista on January 12th, at 16 pm, at Batistão Stadium in Aracaju, Sergipe. It's worth noting that Flamengo will play with a team made up mostly of youth players in the first rounds of the state championship.
