FlaBasquete arrives in the United States in October to face the Orlando Magic for the fourth time in history. The match will mark the end of the preseason schedule for the North American franchise, two-time NBA Eastern Conference champions. The teams face off at the Amway Center on the 20th at 20 p.m. (Brasília time) / 19 p.m. (local time).

"Flamengo is always on the radar of major international teams, and FlaBasquete is proof of that. In recent years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NBA closed its doors to international teams, but now, with a new season of the world's most important basketball league underway, the Orlando Magic has once again reached out to Flamengo to strengthen their partnership on the court," celebrated president Rodolfo Landim.

The Most Beloved and the North American franchise have faced each other three times. In 2014 and 2018, the Red-Black team was at the Amway Center, while in 2015, the Magic visited Rio de Janeiro as part of the NBA Global Games.

"FlaBasquete, once again, demonstrates its reputation and capability by participating in the preseason of such a highly regarded NBA team as the Orlando Magic. This demonstrates what Flamengo is all about. Flamengo isn't about the last result, the moment, it's the sum total of its work and its history, and FlaBasquete is, irrefutably, the greatest Brazilian basketball team in recent history. We're working to assemble the best possible team to put on a beautiful and unforgettable game in Orlando," said Vice President of Olympic Sports Guilherme Kroll.
