After winning its fifth Copa do Brasil title, Flamengo has another title: the most sustainable fan base, also proving the team's reputation in the stands. The Goals for the Earth campaign, a healthy competition among Rio de Janeiro teams to promote climate change initiatives promoted by Terra Futebol Clube—which seeks to raise awareness about climate change through the national passion of soccer—was awarded at the III Youth Forum this week at the Lagoon Complex in Rio de Janeiro. The event was attended by representatives from Flamengo, Vasco da Gama, Fluminense, and Botafogo, the four major Rio de Janeiro clubs that support the project and have embraced the campaign.

"This fan engagement is truly the greatest strength any club can have, because through this support, we can reflect on the power it has for social transformation. Seeing the awakening of Flamengo fans to environmental awareness makes us very happy and proud of this nation! And this is important for the movement that Terra Futebol Clube seeks to build. This newly arrived club serves as a reminder that we are all on the same team in the fight against climate change. I have personally been trying to increasingly remind myself of this cause, of caring for our planet, and to bring this to Flamengo. We are seeing all the Rio clubs uniting in this cause today, and I think it's very important to look at this with all our hearts, not just talking about the climate, but taking action and thinking every day about how we can improve, what we can do to care for the Earth," emphasizes Katia Alonso, Flamengo's Vice President of Social Responsibility.

There were 202 Games for Earth, with a total of more than 11.300 Goals for Earth scored by fans.
