Flamengo wins appeal against paying support to families of youth players killed in academy fire
December 3 – Flamengo will no longer have to pay an allowance of 10,000 Brazilian Reias (€1,578) to the families of the victims of the Ninho de Urubu training complex tragedy, a Rio de Janeiro court ruled.
In February 2019, a fire engulfed the ramshackle dormitory at the youth team training centre of Flamengo, killing 10 teenage players. Ever since, the club has fought tooth and nail to not accept responsibility for the fire in a dispute that has often had the undertones of a social conflict.
