Flamengo’s mini-stadium: latest on Ninho do Urubu construction | OneFootball

Flamengo’s Training Center Will Have Stands with Capacity for Around 2,000 People

While the stadium on the Gasômetro site is not yet ready, Flamengo is already using the field intended for the “mini-stadium” at Ninho do Urubu. The construction of the fence section has been completed and, since last month, some training sessions for the youth categories have been held at the location. However, before the original project is delivered, there are still stages to be completed.

The next steps are the construction of the stands and the locker rooms. For this, the club has already obtained all the permits required to build the seating for fans. However, approval of the funds is still needed to continue the project.

Thus, the project, which began under the club’s previous management, started to take shape in February of this year. At that time, 100% natural grass was laid on the field, which has official dimensions of 105 meters in length by 68 meters in width.

How Many People Will It Hold?

It is estimated that the mini-stadium, which still does not have an official name, will have a capacity for around 2,000 people on the right side and three locker rooms on the opposite side, one of them for the referees. It is worth remembering that the construction schedule began in the final stretch of Rodolfo Landim’s term, at the end of 2024. The initial idea of Flamengo was to use the location for youth matches, mainly for the Under-20 category.

And What About Flamengo’s Main Stadium?

In addition to the project at Ninho do Urubu, Landim purchased a plot of land at Gasômetro, in the port area of Rio de Janeiro, for the construction of a stadium owned by Flamengo. However, the former president accuses the current management of sabotaging the project, which would be stalled.

Nevertheless, the current president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, will have a meeting next Monday (11th) with Flamengo’s Deliberative Council (CoDe) to detail the situation of the club’s own stadium. The statements from the director suggest that, at the moment, the future home of the Most Beloved is not a priority.
