The Red-Black Nation gives another proof of its strength this Sunday (January 16.01). The team from Gávea faces América-MG at 17 p.m. at the Café Stadium in Londrina, and the expectation is a full house. If it depends on the fans of Fla Paraná, the state's Embassy of the Nation, the party will be huge.
\
Vinícius Nagem, a 49-year-old lawyer and university professor, is the organizer of the group and highlights the passion for Flamengo, even among those who live far from Rio. Londrina hadn't seen a Flamengo game for 18 years, until last Sunday (09.01), but even so, the Flamengo fan base is huge in the city.
\
"Paraná is one of the states with the smallest Flamengo fan base, due to the influence of São Paulo and the strong work of regional clubs, but even so, we have 6% of the fans here. Since Flamengo rarely comes to play here, the pre-season here in Londrina is fabulous for us. We have 10 consulates of our embassy here, keeping the red-and-black flame burning everywhere," said Vinicius, explaining that the Nation's Embassies are growing more and more.
\
"I'm from Rio, but I've lived in Curitiba for eight years and I was one of the organizers of this Embassies of the Nation project with the club. We already have 34 embassies around the world, three of which are outside Brazil," he noted.
\
\ With a kiosk in front of the Café Stadium set up since the early \ hours of the afternoon, fans promise a lot of support for Flamengo, but \ also social awareness and donations for the victims of the rain in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro.
\
"We will be there and the work to help the victims of the rain in Rio is also being done, as was the case with the tragedy in Santa Catarina. All Brazilian embassies have mobilized and now we are organizing to develop the fundraising work to help the mountainous region of Rio not only during the game, but also during the next week," he added.
