Flamengo rake in nearly 20m at Maracanã, break 2024 record fast | OneFootball

Flamengo leads in average attendance for the year in Brazil, with 45,103 paying spectators per game

While the construction of their own stadium is not yet a reality, Flamengo has been profiting more and more from Maracanã. Not surprisingly, just in this first round of the Brazilian Championship, the Rubro-Negro has already earned R$ 19.6 million in box office revenue. This amount is even higher than what the club earned in the entire tournament last year.

Adding up all the box office profit from the Brasileirão 2024, Flamengo raised about R$ 18 million. Thus, the Mengão has already surpassed by R$ 1 million the amount with just one round of the championship this year. It is worth noting that Flamengo's highest grossing game in 2025 was the 2-0 victory over São Paulo, with R$ 3 million.

HAS FLAMENGO'S EXPENSES WITH MARACANÃ DECREASED?

Yes! During the management of Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Flamengo has been spending less to manage Maracanã. One of the measures used by the president, in fact, was to close an entire sector during games of lesser appeal. However, this move did not please the red-black fans.

HOW IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF FLAMENGO'S STADIUM GOING?

The Deliberative Council of Flamengo (CoDe) will have, this Monday (11), a decisive meeting for the history of the club. This is because, in addition to discussing the concession of Maracanã, shared with Fluminense, the meeting will serve for the current Bap management to detail the situation of Flamengo's own stadium.

That's because, Bap's management should detail why it would not make economic sense to build a new stadium, according to the plan of former president Rodolfo Landim. Thus, the meeting will serve to show that a home of its own for Flamengo is not financially viable for the club.
