Flamengo's Deliberative Council approved Ale's sponsorship contract on Tuesday night. The oil company signed a three-month contract and will feature its brand on the Flamengo jersey from October 1st until the end of the year. The club will receive R$3,5 million during this period. Currently, Olympikus, a sports equipment supplier, displays the Tube brand on the Flamengo uniform.

Since ending its 24-year partnership with Petrobras, Flamengo has struggled to secure a permanent sponsorship. The club spent nearly three months with a "clean uniform," claiming it would enhance the brand. They even considered continuing the arrangement. However, facing financial crisis, the club changed its strategy and accepted two short-term partnerships—three months each—until the end of this year.
