Today, in addition to hosting the match between Flamengo and Santos, Maracanã Stadium will host the official launch of plans for the first mobile operator targeting Flamengo fans nationwide. Flamengo president Rodolfo Landim will do the honors and present the details of Fla-Chip, a partnership between Flamengo, Surf Telecom, the country's largest MVNO, and TIM, the operator with the largest mobile network in Brazil. The agreement was announced in August, and now it will be possible to learn all the details of the offer.

With competitive plans, differentiated prices, and exclusive bonuses, Flamengo fans can stay connected to their favorite team even when communicating. The Fla-Chip will be offered in three different packages: R$30, with 8GB; R$40, with 14GB; and R$50, with 20GB. In all of them, members receive a free 10GB every month. In the R$40 and R$50 packages, FLATV+ subscribers are entitled to an additional 5GB of data.

"The Fla-Chip is another launch to strengthen our Flamengo and bring more benefits to the nation, especially those Flamengo fans who already use other club products, such as membership and FlaTV+ subscriptions. Our idea is to offer increasingly more quality, integrated products to our fans," said Gustavo Oliveira, Flamengo's vice president of Communications and Marketing.

Customers benefit from Brazil's largest mobile network, provided by TIM, with unlimited WhatsApp—without deducting from their data plan—24-hour customer service, cumulative internet—with data that can be used later—a virtual SIM card, and portability. Furthermore, TIM already offers 5G coverage in all Brazilian capitals, allowing Flamengo fans to enjoy the best coverage possible to stream and watch game videos.

For Paulo Humberto Gouvea, Director of Corporate Solutions at TIM Brasil, the agreement highlights the connection between the operator and the club, with a partnership spanning more than 10 years. "We are providing more than 42 million fans with differentiated services and the opportunity to enjoy exclusive benefits, anywhere in the country. We are connecting Maracanã with 5G and want to bring fans ever closer to their team," he said.

He also highlights the fact that TIM is the largest provider of access networks and infrastructure for mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). "We have a consolidated partnership with Surf Telecom throughout the country. We've been working with mobile operators since 2011, and we believe in this format to offer exclusive services and differentiated offers."

Surf Telecom president Yon Moreira emphasizes the honor and responsibility of working alongside major brands like Flamengo. "We're convinced that we'll bring the best telephony option to Flamengo fans," he said. The executive also emphasized that the plans will be available nationwide. "Flamengo has fans spread across Brazil, so Flamengo fans anywhere in the country can purchase the SIM card and have customized plans, benefiting from all platforms," ​​he concluded.
