On the fifth anniversary of the tragic fire, Flamengo fans commemorate the ten young people who died with acts and requests for justice.
Flamengo fans gather to honor the ten young people who died in the 2019 fire, demanding memory and justice.
In the run-up to the classic against Botafogo, Flamengo fans come together to remember the ten youth footballers lost in a fire, demanding honors and concrete actions.
In the run-up to the confrontation with Botafogo, the Flamengo fans, under the slogan “Flamengo Da Gente”, organized through the networks to remember the fifth anniversary of the accident that took the lives of ten of the club’s promises. The purpose of this mobilization was to ensure that the events were not forgotten, distributing information brochures among those attending the game.
The material distributed before the game includes several significant requests: the proper reception and tribute to the families of the deceased young people, the establishment of February 8 as the Rubro-Negra Remembrance Day without official Flamengo matches, the creation of a memorial in the Ninho do Urubu TC in honor of the ten, the incorporation of a commemorative space in the Flamengo Museum, the opening of an internal investigation to clarify responsibilities, the collaboration with the authorities in criminal investigations and, finally, the recognition of Benedito Ferreira, who saved lives during the fire, with a life pension.
In addition, it seeks to revitalize the “Dez Estelas” chant in the tenth minute of each match, as a living tribute to the memory of the young people. This act symbolizes the union of the football community in remembering and demanding justice for the victims of this tragedy.
