By - in
Flamengo's under-20 team takes the field this Monday (25.01), at 10 am, for the grand final of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup. The match will be at Pacaembu, in São Paulo. Sales begin at 17 pm this Saturday (23.01) at digital box office website.


To pursue their third title, the Mais Querido (Flamengo's Favorite) is counting on standouts like young Lucas Paquetá, who scored the qualifying goal against América-MG in the semifinals. He'll be at Flamengo for ten years in February and can't hide his joy at representing the Greatest in the World.

"Playing in the Copinha final is unforgettable for me and the entire group. It's a tough competition that gives us a lot of visibility. We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we pulled together and arrived with our feet on the ground and a lot of humility. We managed to reach the final, and for me, it's an inexplicable moment. On February 2nd, I'll be ten years at the club, and Flamengo is a part of my life. I hope we can bring this title to the Red-Black Nation," he declared.

The team is undefeated in the competition. Flamengo has two São Paulo Junior Football Cup titles: one in 1990 and the other in 2011.
