Flamengo suffered its first defeat in the Curitiba stage of the 2018 LDB this Monday (17). Facing Maringá, the Crias da Gávea fought until the end of the match, but ended up being overcome by the score of 77x74. Point guard Camargo was the red-black's top scorer with 27 points. João Vitor (11 points and 12 rebounds), Matheusinho (12 points, seven rebounds and nine assists) and Ruan (12 points and seven rebounds) also stood out at Mais Querido.

With no time to regret, Rubro-Negro faces Franca Basquete this Tuesday (18), at 16:45 pm. Seeking to get back to winning ways, the group led by Paulo Chupeta will correct the details and fight for another triumph in LDB 2018. 

The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo receive funding from their sponsors – Thinkseg, TIM, AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, and EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and the State Incentive Law/Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Sports, Leisure, and Youth (Seelje), in addition to support from the Brazilian Club Committee (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources from the Pelé Law. The Anjo da Guarda Rubro-Negro Project, a personal tax transfer, benefits all Olympic sports of the Most Beloved Club.
