READ FLAMENGO'S STATEMENT:

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo and the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro announce that Flamengo will remain with the Gasômetro land, a measure that was formalized in a commitment agreement with the consent of the Municipality, this morning, at the Palácio da Cidade. The Club will therefore continue with the feasibility and development studies for the project, an essential stage to ensure its future realization. These studies, initiated at least eight months ago by Flamengo's current management, have promoted technical and economic evaluations, conducted by specialized companies and consultancies such as FGV, Arena Venues + Events, Soloeste Engenharia Ltda., and AECOM. Due to the need for further in-depth analysis, it was also agreed between the parties to extend the deadlines necessary for the execution of the project, as well as to adjust obligations, ensuring legal security and full continuity of the initiative. Flamengo and the Municipality remain aligned and committed to making the proposal feasible, for the benefit of the city, the Club's members, and its thousands of fans.” With this decision, Flamengo has made concrete progress in planning the new stadium, which already has studies initiated months ago by specialized consultancies. From now on, the club begins a new phase in the development of the project, with legal backing and support from the public authorities.”

WHAT STUDIES IS FLAMENGO CONDUCTING ON THE GASÔMETRO LAND?

Flamengo stated that the studies on the Gasômetro land will be divided into several stages. The most complex of these is the analysis of soil contamination, which is being carried out by the company Aecom. This phase includes environmental investigation, updating the risk assessment, and defining the best strategy to 'decontaminate' the area, as well as estimating the costs and time required for this process.

In addition, the company Soloteste will be responsible for collecting geotechnical data from the land. This information will help with structural calculations and in choosing the ideal type of foundation for the stadium, as well as allowing for more precise planning of the costs for this stage.

Finally, JDS will carry out topographical analyses of the site. The company will map the terrain, identify possible interferences in the space, and assess the impact on the vegetation. It will also be responsible for determining whether environmental compensation actions required by the relevant authorities will be necessary.
