Flamengo's 122nd anniversary celebrations began early in Gávea. At 7 a.m., the Mais Querido's nautical headquarters hosted the traditional dawn parade, which featured fireworks and the participation of the Charanga Rubro-Negra. Wednesday's (15) celebration was attended by President Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, General Vice-President Maurício Gomes de Mattos, and other important figures.

Soon after, the Chapel of Saint Jude Thaddeus hosted a mass, closely watched by fans and guests, who continued on to the birthday breakfast at Boca Maldita.

Simultaneously, Fla Gávea and Fla Pel matches took place on the official field, which were played with great enthusiasm by those in attendance. Additionally, Fla Memória, an exhibition that tells the history of Flamengo, was on sale all day, welcoming fans and club enthusiasts.

Recreation for children in the playground and a vintage car show also made the anniversary in Gávea even more special. The club also welcomed over 50 children from the NGO União Carioca de Autistas (Carioca Union of Autistic People) and the Teotônio Vilela Municipal School.

In the early afternoon, after the traditional celebratory cake cutting, the official field hosted a Fla Master Feminino clinic, a match featuring former Flamengo players, and a performance by the artists. To close the day, concerts and a DJ livened up Gávea.
