On Saturday night, the 21st, Flamengo's Social Responsibility department was notably recognized with the AIDEP Social Impact Award during the FutEdu Summit 2025. The ceremony took place at the Hard Rock Café, in Curitiba, and brought together representatives of clubs and institutions that work with sport and social impact in South America.

Organized by the International Association for the Development of Sports and Paralympic Sports (AIDEP), the award recognizes clubs and institutions that use football as a tool for social transformation. The award highlighted Flamengo's Social Responsibility work as a benchmark in promoting opportunities for children and adolescents from socially vulnerable backgrounds, combining football with socio-emotional education. This includes "Jogaremos Juntos," a Flamengo social project that benefits 1.000 children and adolescents in eight communities in Rio and Baixada Fluminense, as well as other social initiatives by the club that have already impacted more than 200.000 people.

"Welcoming Flamengo to the FutEdu Summit is a tremendous honor. A club with such history and relevance in Brazilian football inspires and further strengthens our commitment to education through sport," said Diogo Netto, CEO of the FutEdu Summit. The Award's central objective is to recognize, value, and encourage football schools and social projects that use sport as a tool for innovation, education, and social transformation. It promotes visibility, strengthens best practices, and establishes a standard of excellence in the sports-educational sector.
