In the Brazilian Championship knockout stage, Flamengo remains active in the market and has two highly relevant signings for the remainder of the year. Left-back Jucinara, formerly of Levante, and defender Daiane, formerly of Madrid CFF, are the Mais Querido's new signings. The duo have both played for the Brazilian national team and arrive to further enhance the squad.

Born in Porto Alegre, Jucinara gained notoriety on the scene when she emerged at the Olympic Center. A South American U-20 champion in 2012, she transferred to Spain in 2017/2018 and won the Primera Iberdrola title with Atlético de Madrid. Skilled and fast, the athlete also stands out for her ability to attack and her powerful shot. After competing in the Tokyo Olympics, she concluded the season and will report to action on July 1st.

"The real expectation is the realization of being able to wear the Flamengo jersey, a club with a lot of history. The biggest in Brazil. Representing the Red-Black Nation is a dream come true. Flamengo is unlike any other, and expectations are very high. I'm looking forward to this moment and meeting my teammates and the entire staff. I'll work hard to help and bring much joy to Mengão," she declared. 

A defender with exceptional technique and physical strength, as well as excellent jumping, excellent passing, and excellent passing, Daiane began her career at the club's youth academy in Uberlândia. At just 24, she was part of Real Madrid's first women's team and played for Avaldnes-NOR, Tacón-ESP, and PSG. With the club, she participated in the 2018 Copa América and the 2019 World Cup. A fan of the Red-Blacks since childhood, the new Menina da Gávea is fulfilling the whole family's dream.

"I'm very happy and honored to be part of the team. My family is definitely excited, after all, it's our favorite team, right? I can't wait to be on the field helping the girls. Just from yesterday's teaser video, I've already received several messages, so today, it's definitely going to be even bigger. The nation can expect a true representative on the field," she stated.
