Flamengo/Marinha is preparing for another important challenge this Wednesday (17). At 15 pm, the Meninas da Gávea will host Foz Cataratas/Coritiba for the 11th round of the Brazilian Women's Football Championship and can qualify in advance in case of a victory or draw.

Rubro-Negro is in second place in Group 2, with 21 points in ten games, six wins, three draws and one defeat.

In the first stage of the competition, the teams face each other in a home-and-away format. Then, the top four clubs from each of the two groups advance to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final. All matches will be played in home-and-away format. The Brazilian champion also secures a spot in the 2019 Copa Libertadores.

Foz Cataratas sits fifth in the group, with 11 points from ten games. They've won two, drawn five, and lost three so far. In the last round, they drew 1-1 with Rio Preto at home.

The teams have faced each other three times in the competition's history. In the final round of the first round last year, Mais Querido hosted Paraná in Los Larios, Duque de Caxias, and won 5-2. Pâmela and Bárbara scored twice, and Jane completed the scoring for Rubro-Negro. In the eighth round, Fla went to the Pedro Basso stadium, in Foz do Iguaçu, and defeated Foz/Coritiba 1-0. The goal was scored by Carol in the second half.

There will be no tickets for the match, and admission to Gávea is free. Come support the girls in this important challenge! Flamengo needs the Nation.
