When Pelé saw the sacred red and black t-shirt

Flamengo and Santos will face each other at Maracaná this Sunday (05/04) at 17:30 pm. Before the party started, a singular curiosity unites both clubs: the day Pelé played with the red shirt alongside Zico.

In 1979, a beneficial friendly party between Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro unfolded an unimaginable spectacle at Maracaná. The meeting was organized to raise funds for the victims of the strong rains that attacked several regions of Minas Gerais. As a special attraction, Pelé, now retired, accepted the invitation to play against Flamengo.

Zico handed over the number 10 t-shirt to Rey del Fútbol and handed over the number 9: a gesture of respect that made that night one of the most singular moments in the history of sports. Of geniuses, together, carrying the Sacred Mantle, on the same playing field, before the entire Nation.

The image of Pelé with the CRF (the colors of Flamengo) on his chest continues to be a symbol of greatness, solidarity and Flamengo's ability to create moments that span the playing field.

This Sunday, once again at Maracaná, Flamengo and Santos face each other, this time for the Campeonato Brasileño 2026. The history between both clubs has left unforgettable chapters. It's time to live one more.
