The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo ( German regatta club Flamengo ), usually just Flamengo for short and in Germany often called Flamengo Rio de Janeiro , is a sports club from the district of the same name in the Brazilian metropolis of Rio de Janeiro . The club colors are red and black.
The club, which was founded as a rowing club on November 17, 1895 , was Brazilian soccer champion six times and won the Copa Libertadores in 1981 and 2019 and the World Cup in 1981 . Flamengo also has long-term successes at the highest level in many other sports.
The club's greatest idol is Zico , also known as white Pelé , who led the club to its greatest successes and is the club's record scorer with 568 goals. From 1984 to 2009, the state-owned oil company Petrobras continuously advertised various products on the chest of Flamengo's jerseys. The current main sponsor, Caixa Econômica Federal, is also a state company .
history
The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo was founded on November 17th, 1895. At first the club colors were blue and gold, but they quickly turned pale because of the sunlight. That is why the decision was made on November 23, 1896, about a year after the company was founded, to switch to the colors red and black, which are still valid today.
The football department did not come into being until 1911 when nine players from Fluminense Rio de Janeiro were looking for a new home. The new sport was officially started on December 24, 1911.
The first official game was a little longer in coming and only took place on May 3, 1912. The football brand Flamengo started promisingly with a spectacular 15-2 win over Mangueira. The first Fla-Flu derby took place just two months later on July 7th. Here Fluminense had the upper hand with 3: 2 for the time being.
The most successful era of the club lies in the years 1978 to 1983. During this time, besides Zico, other well-known players such as Júnior and Leandro played for Flamengo and the team won the 1978 state championship in Rio de Janeiro in 1980, 1982 and 1983 respectively the Brazilian championship and in 1981 again the national championship of Rio de Janeiro, the Copa Libertadores with a final victory over CD Cobreloa and the World Cup in the final in Tokyo . The 3-0 final victory against FC Santos in the Brazilian championship in 1983 took place in front of a record crowd at the Maracanã Stadium. Zico also won the second award (after 1974) Bola de Ouro for the best Brazilian player in 1982 . After that, Zico left the club to play in Serie A for Udinese Calcio , but returned in 1986 and Flamengo again won the Rio de Janeiro state championship in the same year. In 1987 Flamengo won the Copa-União hosted by the Clube dos 13 association , which later became the subject of a long-standing legal battle. The subject of the negotiation was whether the Copa-União was recognized as the Brazilian championship title in 1987. In fact, Sport Recife was named sole champion of the year 1987. Flamengo's successful period in the late 1980s ended with Zico's resignation in 1989. Only in 1992 could the Brazilian championship be won. The most important player of the team at the time was the Júnior , who was awarded the Bola de Ouro award in 1992.
In 2009 Flamengo won the Brazilian championship again after 17 years in which only two cup victories could be recorded at national level. The most important players in the team at the time were top scorer Adriano , Vagner Love , Petkovic and goalkeeper Bruno, who was later convicted of murder .
With the appointment of the Portuguese Jorge Jesus as Chefchoach in mid-2019, a new era began for the association. Flamengo was able to sign international old stars like Rafinha or Filipe Luís for the defense, Gabriel Barbosa and Bruno Henrique harmonized in the storm . With this framework, the club won the Copa Libertadores after 38 years of drought . At the same time the national championship could be won again after 10 years, Barbosa was also top scorer in both competitions. Flamengo was praised this season not only because of the titles it won, but also because of its attractive style of play from the media, fans and opponents alike.
Fans and rivalries
Flamengo has the largest fan base in Brazil with around 40 million followers. Flamengo has the most intense rivalries with local rivals from Rio de Janeiro; above all with Fluminense Rio de Janeiro (this well-known traditional city derby is only called Fla-Flu for short) and Vasco da Gama . The intense duel with Vasco da Gama is known as the "Clássico dos Milhões" and is also characterized by the different ways in which both teams play. While Vasco da Gama plays a more powerful football, Flamengo traditionally stands for an artistic claim in which “the beautiful game” ( Portuguese : o jogo bonito ) is to be celebrated. The games between Flamengo and Vasco da Gama are the most watched in Brazil.
Encontro das Nações in German Meeting of Nations is the name of the classic between the Corinthians and Flamengo teams. It got this name because the two clubs have the biggest football fans in Brazil.
The confrontations between Atlético Mineiro and Flamengo are a great classic of Brazilian football. It is one of the biggest interstate rivalries in Brazil.
Stadion
The club has its own venue with the José Bastos Padilha Stadium in the Leblon district . Most of the home games were played in the much larger Maracanã . The club shared this stadium with local rivals Fluminense . Flamengo has been using the Ilha do Urubu stadium since 2017 . Due to the widely dispersed fan base, however, “home games” are occasionally played in other cities in the country.
In June 2018, the club and the stadium operators of the Maracanã agreed on a two-year usage contract. In 2019 and 2020, Flamengo will play at least 25 home games in the stadium. Furthermore, the club may use the facility for commercial purposes and promotional events. By replacing the seats behind the goals, the stadium should be able to hold up to 100,000 spectators. The new seats should be closer to each other and thus enable the increase.
mascot
The club's mascot is the “Urubu” ( New World Vulture ), a black bird that occurs mainly in Brazil.
He replaced Popeye, styled by the Argentine draftsman named Lorenzo Mollas, as the mascot. It was supposed to represent the perseverance and perseverance of the club, but remained unpopular with club supporters.
In the 60s, Flamengo fans were called Urubus by opponents. This was a racist reference to the mostly dark-skinned following and was not liked to hear. On May 31, 1969, a fan took a "Urubu" into the stadium during the Flamengo-Botafogo game and released it out of frustration that the players did not come on the field. The bird flew onto the square with a flag on its foot. The Flamengo fans were over the moon. After Flamengos won the game 2-1, he soon developed into the new mascot.
Since 2000, the "Urubu" has also had an official name, Samuca , albeit one that is unpopular with fans .

Women's soccer
Flamengo has been running a women's football department since 1995, with a break of several years, which won the Brazilian championship in 2016.
basketball
The Flamengo basketball players are traditionally among the strongest in Brazil and dominate events at the state level. In 1954 Flamengo reached the final of the South American Cup of the Master Clubs but was defeated there by the defending champion CA Olimpia from the Uruguayan capital Montevideo . Flamengo, on the other hand, had to wait until 2008, after four runner-up championships since the introduction of a national competition in 1965, before the first official modern national championship of Brazil could be entered.
The outstanding player in Brazilian basketball history, the "Holy Hand" ( Mão Santa ) Oscar Schmidt was with Flamengo from 2000 to 2003. In these four years he achieved over 1,000 points, in 2000 even 1,327 - just 48 points behind his own record set for Mackenzie the year before . Flamengos Marcelo Machado (locally also Marcelinho ) was the record hunter of the country in the championship success in 2008 and scored 732 points for Flamengo that season.
Flamengo players have also been involved in Olympic medals as well as the 1959 and 1963 Brazil World Cups .
