Flamengo women's team prepares for quarter-final second leg

Flamengo women's team is back in contention for a spot in the Brasileirão Feminino Série A1 semi-finals, after beating Ferroviária 1-0 in the first leg. The return match, scheduled for 4:30 PM (Brasília time), will take place at Arena Fonte Luminosa, in Araraquara, and will be broadcast live by TV Globo, Sportv, Getv, and TV Brasil.

The Stakes for Flamengo in the Quarter-Final Second Leg

With the advantage of a victory in the first leg, the Rubro-Negro only needs to win or draw to advance. Ferroviária, on the other hand, must win by two goals or risk a penalty shootout.

Head-to-Head History Between Flamengo and Ferroviária

In the 15 matches between the two clubs, Flamengo holds the advantage, with eight victories, five draws, and three triumphs for Ferroviária. Ferroviária's last victory over Flamengo was on June 24, 2021. Since then, the Rubro-Negro has won four times and drawn three times.

Flamengo's Performance in the Group Stage

In the first stage, Flamengo finished in fifth position, with 30 points, nine wins, six draws, and three losses. The team scored 30 goals and conceded 20. The team has also been undefeated for four matches in the competition.

Broadcast and Coverage of the Match

In addition to TV Globo, Sportv, and Getv, TV Brasil will broadcast the game starting at 4:10 PM, live from Arena Fonte Luminosa. The public broadcaster is part of a strategy to increase the visibility of women's football in the country, also showing the quarter-finals of Série A2 and A3 and the U-17 and U-20 youth categories.

The Future of Women's Football at Flamengo

President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, has emphasized the importance of youth development, especially the U-20 team, which is already a two-time champion of the Copinha and the Brasileirão. Despite having invested over R$ 22 million in women's football in 2025, the club still needs to increase structural investment in the professional team to compete with projects like Corinthians, Palmeiras, and Ferroviária.

What to Expect from the Second Leg

• The second leg could decide the semi-final spot without needing penalties if Flamengo wins by a one-goal advantage.
• The match referee will be Ruthyanna Camila Medeiros da Silva (PB), with assistants Flávia Renally Costa Faustino da Silva (PB) and Isabela Morais Vivas (DF).
• The VAR will be Elmo Alves Resende Cunha (GO) and the AVAR José Reinaldo Nascimento Junior (DF).

With Flamengo attempting to break a ten-year drought in the Brasileirão Feminino final, the second leg against Ferroviária promises to be decisive for the club's future in the Brazilian women's football scene.
