Reopened on August 4, 2023, the Flamengo Museum, at its headquarters in Gávea, needed to create a new space just to display the trophies won by the professional team this year. The team, led by coach Filipe Luís, has won seven trophies out of a possible ten this season alone. 

The flurry of trophies began early, right in the first competition of the year. On February 2nd, in Belém, Flamengo defeated Botafogo 3-1 and won their third Brazilian Super Cup title. Captains Bruno Henrique and Arrascaeta barely knew that this was just the beginning of a routine that would only end in December.

Three weeks later, at the Maracanã, more celebrations and more trophies. With a 5-0 thrashing of Maricá, the Flamengo team lifted the Taça Guanabara for the twenty-fifth time in its history. Just an appetizer for the main course, which was winning the Carioca championship for the second time. On March 16th, after a 2-1 victory in the first leg, Flamengo drew 0-0 with Fluminense in the decisive match and added another trophy to its collection. It was the thirty-eighth Carioca title for Flamengo, the most successful team in the competition.

The other four titles came almost in quick succession, at the end of the year. On November 29th, playing again in Lima, Peru, Flamengo defeated Palmeiras 1-0, with a goal by Danilo, and became four-time CONMEBOL Libertadores champions, sending the fans into ecstasy.

The fans barely had time to celebrate. Four days later, in front of more than 70 people, the team beat Ceará 1-0, with a goal by Samuel Lino, and lifted the Brazilian championship trophy for the ninth time. The Flamengo supporters left the Maracanã celebrating and dreaming of conquering the world again.

With 75 games played this season and four trophies already won by 2025, Flamengo traveled to Qatar just three days after winning the Brazilian championship. This time, the goal was the coveted second Club World Cup title. To reach the final against PSG, the European champions, the Brazilian team, winners of the Libertadores Cup, would first have to overcome Cruz Azul of Mexico, winners of the CONCACAF Cup, and Pyramids of Egypt, representing the African continent. 

Flamengo beat the Mexicans 2-1 and, with that, lifted the Derby de las Américas Cup, their sixth of the season. Against the African champions, another victory, this time 2-0. Even with their arms aching from lifting so many trophies, the team found the strength to continue their routine of celebrating. This time lifting the Challenger Cup, the seventh trophy of the magical year of 2025.
