At this Saturday's Carnival game, Flamengo fans who celebrate in the stands of the World's Greatest Stadium will have the honor of singing "Happy Birthday" to Zico, who will be watching the festivities in person. Before the ball rolls against Nova Iguaçu, Flamengo will pay tribute to seven illustrious birthday boys and girls in March. In addition to Galinho, who turns 61 on the 03rd, Júlio Cesar Uri Geller (03), Esquerdinha (01), Fernandinho (02), Índio (01), Gaúcho (07) and coach Jayme de Almeida (17), who was once a defender for the Most Beloved, will also be on the field.

The tribute will begin at 18 p.m., half an hour before the match, and the honorees will enter the field to receive an official jersey from president Eduardo Bandeira de Mello in the center of the field. Each jersey will be personalized with the number corresponding to the age each former athlete reached this year. The big screen will play "Happy Birthday," which will be sung in unison by the red-and-black fans in attendance.

It is worth remembering that, for this match, fan club members will be able to purchase three tickets at the Nação Rubro-Negra promotional price, in addition to the amount that each plan is entitled to. For all information about the sale, click here.
