Major League Soccer (MLS), the North American soccer league, hosted the Generation Adidas Cup 2014 in April, an under-17 competition that began on the 14th at the Toyota Center Soccer Complex in Texas. At the end of the tournament, Flamengo finished fourth, bringing the Flamengo brand to the United States, another step in Adidas' internationalization process.

The twelve championship participants were grouped into three groups. Flamengo was in Group A, alongside New York Red Bulls (USA), Colorado Rapids (USA), and Seattle Sounders (USA). Other teams from the United States, Chivas Guadalajara from Mexico and Stoke City from England, also participated. In total, Flamengo played five games, accumulating two wins, in the routs over Colorado Rapids (5-0) and New York Red Bulls (6-1), two draws against Seattle Sounders and Stoke City, and only one loss, last Sunday (April 20.04), against FC Dallas, who were playing at home, in the third-place match.

Next Tuesday (22.04), the under-17 boys already have a commitment in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil in the category, when they face Atlético-MG.
