Forward Yuri César, developed in Flamengo’s youth academy, continues his great run in Arab football, serving as a key player in Shabab Al-Ahli’s lead.
The Ninho do Urubu product continues to write a successful story in the United Arab Emirates. Last Saturday (22), the player was the standout performer in Shabab Al-Ahli’s 2-0 victory over Al-Dhafra. With two goals scored, Yuri César helped his team maintain a 100% record in the national league.
The forward’s performance is not new this season. In the opening round, the player had already made his mark in the 5-1 thrashing of Khorfakkan. Thanks to this explosive start, the Dubai club stands alone at the top of the league standings.
Path to idol status abroad
Since arriving at Shabab Al-Ahli in 2022, Yuri César has become a technical reference for the team. At 27 years old, the Brazilian has already played 172 matches for the club, boasting an impressive record of 42 goals and winning seven titles, which has earned him the status of a recent idol among local fans.
Stint in Brazilian football
Developed at Flamengo, the forward was part of winning generations in the youth teams, such as the team that won the Copinha in 2018, alongside players like Samuel Lino. After a transition to the professional level where he couldn’t establish himself, the player had a spell at Fortaleza before being permanently transferred to Arab football in 2021.
While Yuri César shines on the international stage, Flamengo is focusing on its domestic calendar. The Rubro-Negro takes the field this Sunday (30), at 4 PM (Brasília time), to face Botafogo in a crucial derby for the Brazilian Championship.
In summary, the ball rolls for the derby at 4 PM, at the Maracanã. As usual, the Equipe M360 and Coluna do Fla TV will provide full on-site coverage on YouTube, in addition to real-time updates on our portal and social media.
The match will be broadcast by Rede Globo, GETV, and Premiere.
