Madureira x Flamengo - Wednesday (07) at 16 pm, on Conselheiro Galvão Street.

Flamengo x América - Saturday (10) at 16 pm, in Gávea.

The U-20 team, led by coach Marcio Torres, takes the field for two decisive matches in the final two rounds of the second phase of the Otávio Pinto Guimarães Tournament (OPG). After a victory over América and a draw against Olaria in the previous rounds, the "Garotos do Ninho" fell short of their initial goal of taking the lead in Group E last week, but they remain in contention for a spot in the final of the traditional competition. After four games, the "Rubro-Negro" has seven points, one behind leader Olaria, who has eight. The math is simple: "Mais Querido" needs to beat Madureira and América, and hope for a stumble from Olaria in the final two rounds. Flamengo is seeking its tenth OPG title, further cementing its position as the most successful team in the competition's history.

Flamengo x São Paulo - Thursday (08) at 19:15 pm, in Volta Redonda. * Live broadcast from SporTV *

With a strong collective performance and a lot of maturity, the U-17 team, led by coach Phelipe Leal, knew how to assert itself and, despite playing at Morumbi Stadium against one of the best teams in the country in the category, defeated São Paulo 2-0 last Wednesday in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. With confidence high and growing stronger collectively with each game in the important national competition, the Garotos do Ninho play the return leg on Thursday in Volta Redonda, with the possibility of losing by up to one goal to once again reach the semifinals of this important national competition, in pursuit of the still-unprecedented title. SporTV will broadcast live. If they confirm their qualification, the Mais Querido will face the winner of Santos and Coritiba in the semifinals. The first leg ended in a 3-3 draw.

Flamengo x Fluminense - Saturday (10), at 10 am, in Gávea.

With goals from Victor Hugo and João Pedro, the U-15 team, led by coach Mario Jorge, won the first leg of the State Championship final 2-1 last Saturday, playing away from home, and took a giant step towards winning the competition. With only one loss throughout the entire championship, the Garotos do Ninho need only a draw in next Saturday's decisive match in Gávea to complete the victory lap and crown a nearly perfect campaign throughout the championship. To achieve this, they will need a lot of focus, composure, and hard work throughout the week of training at Ninho do Urubu, as the entire squad knows they will face a very high-quality opponent. The derby takes place on Saturday at 10:15 am, with open gates in Gávea. The entire nation is invited to support the Garotos do Ninho U-XNUMX team on their way to the state title!
