Brazil is Flamengo! Wherever it goes, the Most Loved It draws crowds, stirs feelings and strengthens bonds with those who, from their first breath at birth, have chosen what is right. 

"If Euclides da Cunha were alive he would have preferred the Flamengo to Canudos to tell the story of the Brazilian people", said Nelson Rodrigues. The great chronicler, an infidel, but aware of the strength of the Nation, did you know that in any corner of this continental country, where a passionate heart for football, runs the red and black blood that explains, justifies and mystifies the heritage of 40 million people: the Flamengo Regatta Club.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, consecrated in all borders of Brazilian soil, the Most Beloved is celebrated wherever it goes, from north to south, in the cerrado or the agreste, at sea or in the countryside. The flags designed in red and black flutter alongside the green and yellow shout of "Mengo" comes out loud from the throats and echoes in every corner.

The 4.374 km that separate Rio de Janeiro from Manaus would never be enough to separate those who chose to love Flamengo. feeling goes against the laws of physics, after all, from the moment the red-black team set foot in Manaus, the airport has already demonstrated that several bodies can occupy the same place in space, that there are no limits that prevent a passionate fan and her wheelchair, from live Flamengo in the arms of those who share the same devotion. And, above all, the high decibel levels are music to the ears and generate a unique energy for the eleven on the field, the others off the field, the thousands in the stands, and the millions scattered everywhere.

Yes, Brazil is Flamengo. In 2016, Recife, Fortaleza, Brasilia, Juiz de Fora, Volta Redonda, Macaé, Mesquita, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Aracaju and Manaus proved the obvious: The Biggest Fan Base in the World makes a difference.

And to her, ours thank you very much! 

Come on, Flamengo!
