Fabrício Merede is drawing attention in Flamengo's youth categories

Flamengo is known for having one of the main youth categories in Brazilian football. Not by chance, the red-black club usually sells young players abroad, raising large sums. One of the new promises of Mengão is the goalkeeper Fabrício Merede, who even gained prominence in the Spanish newspaper ‘Diario AS’.

“The Flamengo factory doesn't stop producing talents and, although it almost always has offensive players with flair, dribbling and skill to dribble, in this case, the Rio team has molded a goalkeeper who has presented remarkable performances in recent months. His name is Fabrício Merede“, he said, before finishing:

“The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is already closely following Fabrício Merede, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he were called up for the first time to start his career in the youth categories. He is at the right age to participate in the next South American Under-15 Championship“, concluded the Spanish newspaper.

WHO IS FABRÍCIO MEREDE?

At just 14 years old, Fabrício Merede arrived at Flamengo in 2023, after drawing attention in Avaí's youth team. Recently promoted to Mengão's Under-15 team, the goalkeeper was a standout in the conquests of the Metropolitan Under-14 Championship and the Manlio Selis tournament, in Italy, in which the Most Beloved surpassed Milan (ITA) in the final.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

While Fabrício Merede continues to make his way through Flamengo, Filipe Luís' team takes to the field this Saturday (09), to face Mirassol. The match takes place at 18h30 (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet.
