IS FLAMENGO THE CURRENT WORLD CUP CHAMPION?

Yes! Flamengo is the current U-20 Club World Cup champion. This is because the Most Beloved beat Olympiacos (GRE) 2-1 in the 2024 season and won the title at Maracanã. Thus, the Red-Black can become two-time champions this Saturday (23), again in front of the crowd.

WHEN IS THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND BARCELONA?

The ball rolls for Flamengo and Barcelona this Saturday (23), at 4:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the great U-20 World Cup final.
