In intense preparation for the state championship, which begins in November, Mengão has signed Kethilyn, a promising Brazilian footballer. The defender reported for duty this week and is fully integrated into the group led by Sérgio Carnevale. She is the 15th new addition this season, marked by increased investment in the youth academy.

Possessing a refined technique, Kethilyn has already been called up to the U-17 national team and, despite her young age, stands out for her maturity on the field, agility, and determination. In a quick interview with the official website of the Mais Querido, the new Menina da Gávea discussed her prospects and expressed her excitement.

"My expectations are very high. It's a huge responsibility to join a giant club like Flamengo, and I want to seize this opportunity. We'll work hard to win the Campeonato Carioca, and the nation can count on me. I promise to honor the Sacred Mantle until the end," she said, highly motivated.
