By - in

On the first stop of his trip to Europe, President Marcio Braga completed an extensive agenda of meetings with FC Barcelona directors today.

Early in the morning, he met with Jordi Penas, the museum's director, and they discussed a cooperation agreement for the Flamengo Museum. The Barcelona Museum is a global reference and last year alone welcomed over 1,4 million visitors, making it part of the global football tourism circuit.

Following this meeting, as Barcelona President Joan Laporta is with the team in Poland, Acting President Joan Franquesa and Vice President of Marketing Jaume Ferrer hosted a luncheon with President Marcio Braga. They discussed a series of initiatives the two clubs will jointly pursue, such as working with FIFA to adopt measures to protect aspiring players and their training clubs. It was agreed that the two clubs will maintain ongoing dialogue and organize a broader meeting, to which Flamengo will endeavor to bring São Paulo, Corinthians, Vasco, and Botafogo.

In the afternoon, the red-black delegation visited the Barça TV facilities and the Catalan club's Communications Department, which produces content for print, web and television media.

The President of Flamengo was accompanied by the club's Marketing Director, Ricardo Hinrichsen, and lawyer Pedro Trengrouse.
