THE Flemish has established itself as a giant not only on the pitch, but also off it. According to a study by the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, the club generated more than R$2 billion in the Rio de Janeiro economy in 2023, an impressive number that demonstrates Mengão's significant impact on the city.
A Train That Moves the Economy of Rio. More than a Football Club
The research reveals that the red-and-black fans, known as the Nação Rubro-Negra, were largely responsible for this amount. The average spending per match was R$1,400,000,000, boosting several sectors of the economy, such as hotels, restaurants, transportation and commerce.
Flamengo has become a true driving force behind the Rio de Janeiro economy, generating employment and income for thousands of people. The City Hall study also highlights the club's role in promoting the city, attracting tourists and investment.
Comparison with Other Clubs and Contribution to Rio's GDP
Flamengo's hegemony in the Rio de Janeiro economy is also reflected in the comparison with the city's other clubs. The City Hall study indicates that Mengão was responsible for 50.9% of the total financial movement of Rio de Janeiro teams in 2023.
Flamengo's impact on the economy of Rio de Janeiro goes beyond the numbers. The club contributes significantly to the city's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with an estimated share of 1.5%.
Numbers that Speak for Themselves
The study data proves Flamengo's economic power and its importance for Rio de Janeiro. The club has established itself as one of the city's main development agents, contributing to the growth of the local economy and the generation of job and income.
Flamengo is not just a football team, but a cultural and economic phenomenon that has a significant impact on the lives of Rio de Janeiro residents. The strength of the Red-Black Nation and the professional management of the club are the pillars that support this success, which promises to continue for many years to come.
