Flamengo/Marinha already knows which path they will have to take to win the most important title on the calendar in 2020. The Brazilian Football Confederation released the schedule for the Brazilian Women's Championship, which will begin on February 9th (Sunday). In the first round, the Rubro-Negro travels to São Paulo to face Santos.

This will be the club's sixth appearance in the competition. Last season, after finishing fourth in the qualifying round and beating Internacional in the quarterfinals, the team was eliminated in the semifinals by Corinthians. It's worth noting that the team won the 2016 edition.

Format

The tournament format will be the same as in 2019. All 16 clubs will face each other in a single round, with the top eight advancing. The knockout stage will feature home-and-away matches.

Having finished in a good position last year, Mais Querido will play eight matches at home and seven away.

A three-month break is planned. Therefore, the Meninas da Gávea will play until the end of May and will only return if they advance to the semifinals, in August.

Participants

Flamengo/Navy will face the following opponents: Audax-SP, Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Ferroviária, Grêmio, Internacional, Iranduba, Kindermann/Avaí, Minas Icesp-DF, Palmeiras, Ponte Preta, Santos, São José-SP, São Paulo and Vitória-BA.
