For next Saturday's game (26), Flamengo fans will have a special reinforcement at Maracanã. They are the cleaning staff from Sunset, a third-party company that provides maintenance and cleaning services to the club. Around 80 people, including general service assistants and their families, will be present at the match against Internacional, in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The action is the result of the "Nação no Maraca" project, created by Flamengo's Social Responsibility department, which works on social inclusion and democratization of access.

"I'm really excited! I've never been to Maracanã, and now I'll be able to go, taking my family. We're really happy with this opportunity," celebrated general services assistant Rodrigo Couto de Oliveira.

"I'm really excited to go to Maracanã and take my family. My daughter and son are going... And it will be my wife's first time at Maracanã," added Fábio José Santos da Silva, also a member of Sunset's cleaning team.

The "Nação no Maraca" initiative has distributed approximately 5 tickets to Flamengo games at Maracanã this year alone, during the Rio de Janeiro and Brazilian Championships. The initiative has already benefited social projects, public schools, indigenous peoples, refugees, shelters and social reintegration institutions, among other groups.  

"We thank the club for the opportunity to provide this special moment for our group. Many of us have never been to Maracanã and were thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in this beautiful celebration that is Flamengo fans, accompanied by our families," said Priscilla Franco, Sunset's operations supervisor.
