Flamengo/Marinha in the Brazilian Championship
This will be Flamengo/Marinha's fifth appearance in the Brasileirão. Playing nationally since 2015, the red-and-black team won the title in 2016 and competed vigorously for the title in every edition. Last year, the team reached the semifinals. It's worth noting that Flamengo finished last year with the Campeonato Carioca title, its fourth since the partnership began.
Dispute system
Starting this season, the competition format will be different from previous years. This time, all 16 teams will face each other in a single round, alternating between home and away matches. The top eight teams advance to the quarterfinals and so on until the final. In the knockout stage, all matches will be home and away.
Having been one of the top eight teams last season, the regulations state that Flamengo will play eight matches at home and seven away.
In a Women's World Cup year, the competition is scheduled to take a break between rounds nine and ten. Therefore, the Meninas da Gávea will play at the end of May and return only in July.
In addition to Flamengo, the participating teams are: Foz Cataratas/Athlético-PR, Ponte Preta, Kindermann/Avaí, Iranduba, Ferroviária, Audax-SP, Rio Preto, Santos, São Francisco-BA, São José-SP, Corinthians, Sport Recife, Vitória de Santo Antão-PE, Vitória-BA and Minas ICESP-DF.
