Flamengo vs. Brasília, despite being another franchise with the same name, is a classic in Brazilian basketball. In the early days of the NBB, the teams alternated at the top of the competition and staged thrilling finals with packed arenas, actively contributing to the growth of the sport in our country. Of the first six titles in NBB history, Brasília won three and Flamengo the rest. Flamengo was the best team of the season on three other occasions, totaling six national titles. 

"Flamengo and Brasília have always been a guaranteed great game. Packed arenas, high spirits, and intense rivalry on the court. Even though Brasília is a new franchise, under new management, we always take to the court with that classic feeling. Furthermore, this is another opportunity for us to play together with our fans outside of Rio de Janeiro. We're always warmly welcomed wherever we go, but Brasília is always special. I'm sure the nation will go to ASCEB to support the team in this game," says winger Marquinhos.
