Clube de Regatas do Flamengo is a Brazilian football team from Rio de Janeiro. It was founded on November 15, 1895, although the football department started on December 24, 1911.

Their home stadium is nominally the Gávea (capacity 8,000), but most games are played in the Maracanã (capacity 120,000). They play in horizontal red and black stripes, white shorts with red piping and striped red and black socks.

Their biggest rivals are from the same city: Fluminense, Botafogo and Vasco da Gama.
