Half an hour before the start of the Rio Cup final, at Maracanã, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo held the Manto Sagrado Contest awards ceremony for five participants living in Rio de Janeiro.

The event took place on the field, shortly after a promotional video for the "Sacred Mantle Contest – If you love this shirt, participate" campaign was shown on the stadium's big screens. The club's executive marketing director, Ricardo Hinrichsen, formally presented the shirts—all worn by the players who played on April 5 against Fluminense—to fans Fabio Santos de Araujo and Anderson Leonardo, Ricardo Benevides, Marcelo Zanin, and Robson Tavares. The latter three had already won their prizes at an event in Gávea on April 16. Eduardo Veiga, another Rio resident, chose not to take the field.

Afterwards, they were all able to watch the game against Botafogo from special seats, along with their companions.

New Contest - With the same theme ("Declare your love for Flamengo"), the Manto Sagrado Contest continues. Fans can win the jersey worn by the players in the Taça Rio final against Botafogo.
