Olympikus launches "Totó do Mengão" in tribute to the club
Game reproduces athletes from the main team, plays and real narration in a gift from the sports brand for Flamengo's 114th anniversary
By VIPCOMM - in
Flamengo, the team with the largest fan base in the world, is the first Brazilian club to have a table football game—also known as foosball—featuring images of the main team, real-life plays, and even professional commentary. The game was launched this Sunday, November 15, the club's 114th anniversary, as a gift from Olympikus, Flamengo's official sports brand.
\
The game was launched this Sunday in Rio de Janeiro at an event for 30 Flamengo bloggers who were challenged to release the game to the Flamengo fans. The guests had to score a total of 1000 goals so that, after a two-hour challenge, the game could be published online for the fans.
\
\ In addition to being the first exclusive game of a Brazilian football team, Totó do Mengão allows you to choose different tactical schemes, 3 types of team uniforms and features the participation of one of the greatest narrators in the country: Sílvio Luiz.
\
"We did everything we could to make this birthday present fun for Mengão fans," said Márcio Callage, marketing manager at Olympikus.
\
Users can also build their own lineup from a list of 17 players from the current squad. Matches will take place at a packed Maracanã stadium, just like Flamengo's best matches. Fan chants, real replays, and other surprises are highlights of the game.
\
"Olympikus wanted to pay tribute to the club for its 114th anniversary. But not a conventional tribute. That's why we thought about those who are Flamengo's greatest asset: the red-and-black fans. The game is for these passionate fans. Furthermore, Flamengo's Totó draws attention from Brazil and the world to the club, its players and its fans," commented Márcio Callage.
\
More news will come. The game includes updates and new features. More than just a one-off action, it's a relationship project with the fans and the club.
\
\ Flamengo Totó can be played directly on the internet or installed\ on your computer. It can be accessed through the official website\ (www.totodomengao.com.br) or through the Olympikus website (www.olympikus.com).
