Flamengo finds itself at the bottom of the Cariocão standings after adopting a strategy of fielding young academy players, which has not yielded the desired results. Following a 3-0 loss to Volta Redonda, the team sits last due to a worse goal difference compared to Lusa da Ilha. The club will continue with the under-20 squad for upcoming matches against Vasco, Fluminense, and Sampaio Corrêa, with coach Filipe Luís set to take over on January 28th. In the tournament’s format, the bottom two teams will enter a final quadrangular, where only the last-placed team will be relegated.
