Flamengo/Marinha had a full week of training for the first time since the return of the Brasileirão Feminino. After the 1-1 draw with Cruzeiro at home, the team worked hard at CEFAN aiming for the match against Vitória, at 15:30 pm on Sunday (20), at Barradão. The match will be broadcast exclusively by Band.

In 11th place with 12 points, the team has three wins, three draws, and three losses in the competition. The goal is to qualify for the next stage, and to achieve this, winning the match in Salvador is crucial.

"We always go into the game focused on winning. We work daily with that in mind. We know our opponent is struggling, and this is a very important game for us. We need to score points to climb the table, so we're going to go for the three points," said Celso Silva, coach of the Meninas da Gávea.

Flamengo/Marinha in the Brazilian Championship

This is Flamengo/Marinha's sixth appearance. Having played nationally since 2015, the team won the championship in 2016.

Dispute system

The tournament format is the same as in 2019. All 16 clubs face each other in a single round, with the top eight advancing. The knockout stage will feature home-and-away matches. Due to their strong finish last year, the Mais Querido will play eight matches at home and seven away.
