Flamengo and Fluminense hereby announce that they are working together, alongside the City Hall and other competent public bodies, on the project for their stadiums in Rio de Janeiro. The clubs have distinct initiatives and emphasize that one does not interfere with the other. Both institutions believe that these plans will contribute significantly to the daily life of the city, offering new leisure and entertainment facilities to the people of Rio de Janeiro in the future.
 
Peter Abbot
"It is a goal of the Fluminense board to build our own stadium, to have our own home. It is a responsibility of our management to take this important step, and we consider it extremely relevant to have Flamengo as a partner. The aptitude of both institutions will make the difference, and we are convinced of the success of our plan, which aims not only to contribute to raising the level of the clubs, but also to significantly enhance the daily lives of the fans and the people of Rio de Janeiro."
 
Eduardo Bandeira de Mello
"It is extremely beneficial that clubs of the importance of Flamengo and Fluminense work together to define stadium solutions that meet the desires of their fans and take into account the public interest: that of the city's residents and taxpayers."

This effort includes searching for a solution for the Maracanã stadium – unfortunately increasingly distant – and also exploring alternative stadiums owned by each of the clubs.
