On Tuesday (16), the day Maracanã turns 70, Flamengo carried out another stage of the 'Nação Solidária' campaign, in partnership with SOS Favela/Viva Rio, with the aim of benefiting more informal workers who work at the stadium. Mais Querido distributed food cards, alcohol gel and personal protective masks, as well as packets of Mendorato peanuts, the club's sponsor.

Throughout the day, 196 people went to the stadium to receive R$55 in aid and masks made with references to their idol Zico. Flamengo's hand sanitizer units are produced in partnership with LBBio (Brazilian Biology Laboratory). It's worth noting that, with the suspension of games due to the coronavirus pandemic, Maracanã workers were directly impacted in generating their family income.

"It's been very difficult for everyone. Maracanã is sorely missed, because so many people work at the games and depend on it for their livelihood. The help Flamengo is offering is essential," said Alberto Santos, the stadium's Access Controller.

Lucineia Custódio, an employee at FoodTeam, the company that helped distribute the cards, shared her experience participating in the initiative: "It was very rewarding because we know most of the people who work here; they make a living from this. With social distancing and the lack of work, the help Flamengo offered them was very important."

Over the course of these five weeks of 'Solidarity Nation' at Maracanã, the campaign benefited a total of 922 informal workers from various categories: popcorn sellers, security guards, turnstile operators, cleaning crews, fence loaders, firefighters, street vendors, and bartenders. Throughout this period, Flamengo was represented by Camila Nascimento, the club's Social Responsibility Manager.
