Part 4/6:
During the early stages of the Campeonato Carioca, fans should expect to see a mix of younger players alongside senior team members in the initial matches. Flamengo's first fixtures are set to kick off on January 12, 2025, against Boavista at Estádio Batistão in Aracaju. Subsequent matches will take place across various locations in the northeast, including Campina Grande and Natal.
Flamengo’s lineup will begin to take shape with Pablo, a defender recently returned from a loan at Botafogo, likely to feature in the opening rounds of the Carioca. The management has predetermined that he will not accompany the team to the United States for pre-season training but will instead participate fully in the local competition.
