Announcement: Campeonato Carioca - Broadcast Rights Agreement
By Flamengo Regatta Club - inClube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that, due to the termination of its contract with Grupo Globo de Televisão for the broadcast of the Campeonato Carioca de Futebol and the broadcaster's position to only renew it maintaining exactly the same commercial conditions agreed in 2016, not taking into account Flamengo's new phase and none of the points suggested by the club for a possible renewal, the games of our professional football team in the 2020 Carioca will not be broadcast on the open channels of Rede Globo de Televisão, on SportTV on Pay TV and on Canal Premiere on pay-per-view.
Despite the lack of television broadcasts of its games, Flamengo's board reaffirms its full commitment to fielding the entire squad of players that won the Carioca, Brasileirão, and Libertadores in 2019. It will be with this complete squad, further strengthened by the new signings, that we will fight for the second Carioca championship, in addition to seeking to offer our fans and football lovers a high-level sporting spectacle.
We are certain that, just as we did throughout last year together, the fans and the team will once again be protagonists of special moments for Brazilian football.
It's worth noting here our continued partnership with Grupo Globo, through our commercial contract for broadcasting Brazilian Championship matches. A partnership spanning over a decade, guided by professionalism and respect on both sides.
