In yet another edition, the project 'We Will Play Together - Field of Dreams' was in the Barrinha region this Tuesday (14), located in Barra da Tijuca, in the West Zone of Rio, to hold a new selection with boys and girls aged five to 15 with talent for football. The initiative, conceived by Flamengo's Social Responsibility and Youth Football departments, is the result of a partnership between the club and the Subprefectures of Rio.

An ambassador for the project and a Mengão idol, Andrade closely followed the tryouts, which were supported by the social project 'Centro de Futebol Carioquinha'. The school works with children and adolescents from communities surrounding Largo da Barra.

Next week, 'Campo dos Sonhos' will visit the Maré community to hold another selection with the region's young people.
