This comes after the Brazilian giants submitted a winning bid to secure land at the Gasometro site in Rio de Janeiro for their new stadium, which is expected to have a capacity of 78,000.
The ground will combine innovative design, state-of-the-art technology and a multifunctional vision.
Flamengo‘s new home in Rio will host football matches as well as a variety of events.
It will offer unique experiences for fans and tourists, including the Flamengo Museum, a Megastore and a unique rooftop walkway with breathtaking views of the “Marvellous City”.
The stadium is expected to be completed by November 15, 2029, coinciding with the club’s anniversary.
Flamengo, though, are not ruling out the possibility of opening the stadium earlier.
Arena Events+Venues CEO Carlos de la Corte said: “This project represents the fusion of tradition and innovation, uniting the passion for sports with a design that reflects the greatness of Flamengo and its fans, as well as the culture of Rio de Janeiro.
“Our goal is to create a space that transcends sports, offering a lasting legacy for the country.”

The Maracana, though, will not be abandoned after Flamengo’s exit.
The ground is still being used by Fluminense and Brazil‘s national team.
The esteemed Maracana has hosted two World Cup finals in 1950 and 2014.
