As part of a marketing plan, Flamengo and Corinthians plan to arrive in Palestine in September on a plane emblazoned with their respective emblems. The duo is negotiating the joint trip through Pallas Turismo Esportivo, an agency linked to businessman Wágner Abraão, who has worked for the CBF for decades.

The decision was made to avoid causing discomfort to the organization, which considers the friendly to be a dangerous precedent for future games of the National Team - with a political nature - abroad.

Products bearing the Fenômeno x Imperador brand are already being prepared. The Timão players have even handed in their passports to the football department for the necessary visas.

President Lula is expected to attend the friendly match and invite US President Barack Obama. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the initiative is part of Brazil's strategy to obtain a seat on the United Nations Security Council.
