Flamengo to face Paraguay's Olimpia in friendly at Brasília's Mané Garrincha

Flamengo will play a preparatory friendly against Paraguayan side Olimpia on 17 July 2026 at the Arena Mané Garrincha in Brasília. Tickets are on sale from R$ 59 via Ticket and Go.

The Brazilian club arrives in Brazil after concluding a European training stint that included matches against Benfica, River Plate and Lausanne‑Sport. Olimpia, the current leaders of Paraguay’s top division and three‑time Copa Libertadores champions, have not played official games during the World Cup break.

The encounter is intended to help Flamengo fine‑tune its squad ahead of the resumption of the domestic league, while giving Olimpia a test against a high‑profile opponent. Both teams are expected to field several regular starters, with Olimpia likely to feature players such as Rossi, Jorginho and Samuel Lino.
