The Most Beloved achieved an impressive result in the Brazilian Under-21 Basketball Cup. Playing at the Fluminense gymnasium, the Rubro-Negro won three of the four games played and finished in second place in the competition, despite playing with most of the athletes under the age of 19.  

The Gávea team's debut was a setback against Circuito Militar/Curitiba Basquetebol, with a score of 66x46. After the scare of the first match, Flamengo reacted and crushed Sogipa in the second game (94x42), beat Minas Tênis Clube well (71x60) and closed with a victory in the classic against Fluminense (61x51). 

In the overall classification, Mais Querido finished with the same performance as Curitiba Basquetebol, but won the silver medal due to tiebreaker criteria. 

The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo receive funding from their sponsors – Estácio, 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, Recreation, and Youth (Seelje), in addition to support from the Brazilian Club Committee (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources generated by the Pelé Law. The Anjo da Guarda Rubro-Negro Project, a personal tax transfer, benefits all Olympic sports of the Most Beloved.
