Flamengo is everywhere. This phrase is well-known, and with each passing day, we have more examples that prove it.

Felippe Alexandre's recent trip to Amazonas was to observe athletes at a tryout in the city of Carauari, which has approximately 50 inhabitants. Upon arriving, he found a people passionate about soccer and, consequently, Flamengo.

On average, 90 girls participated in the on-site evaluation process. Among them were two Indigenous women from the Kanamari Village. So, Mengão's technical observer took a boat and visited the site, 20 km from Carauari. Along the way, he heard a moving testimony from a passionate fan on the Juruá River, but the best was yet to come.

Upon arriving at the village, he was greeted by the indigenous leader Jacaúna and many red-and-black supporters—who make up the majority—wearing the Sacred Mantle. The women also organized a game on the field where soccer is played there. This act proves that the love for the Most Beloved spans the entire country.

"It was a unique experience. Being able to get there and encounter so much love for Flamengo made me very happy. I confess that I came back a different person. Every time I remember the number of girls playing soccer 900 km from Manaus, I get emotional. I hope to return more often," Felippe said, with gratitude.

Flamengo's women's youth football team is sponsored by Vale through the Federal Sports Incentive Law.
