Flamengo plans to build the stadium on the Gasômetro site in Rio de Janeiro

The Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, revealed that he sent an official letter to Flamengo assuming responsibility for the removal of the pipeline structures on the Gasômetro site. O Mais Querido received the document and now awaits the completion of the government’s work to begin construction.

WHAT DID EDUARDO PAES POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

“For anyone interested, here is the official letter sent to Flamengo today, in which the city hall formally assumes responsibility for the removal of the existing pipeline structures on the Gasômetro site! Thank you for your attention.”

In contact with the Coluna do Fla reporting team, Cacau Cotta, who is part of the administrative council of Flamengo, celebrated the sending of the document. This is because O Mais Querido will not have to bear the costs of removing the pipelines, making the stadium construction process easier.

“The mayor had already given his word several times. He had already sent an email to Flamengo some time ago, and now this is something new. It’s documented now, the city hall has documented it. So if anyone had any legal insecurity, we have made great progress.”

HOW MUCH DID FLAMENGO PAY FOR THE LAND?

Flamengo acquired the Gasômetro site at auction about a year ago for R$ 138 million. At the time, the club was led by then-president Rodolfo Landim, and the plan was to build the stadium by 2029.

However, after the elections in December, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, took over as president of Flamengo, and the stadium plans are being reviewed. The current president is in no hurry to build the sports venue.
