Marcos Braz and Bruno Henrique have lunch together in Rio with the forward’s agent
An informal meeting in Barra da Tijuca drew attention this Tuesday (25). Flamengo’s former vice-president, Marcos Braz, and forward Bruno Henrique were seen having lunch together at a local shopping mall. The meeting also included Denis Ricardo, the player’s agent.
Reunion of friends and former club partners
Despite the agent’s presence, the atmosphere of the meeting was described by sources close to the situation as a reunion of friends who shared years of success at Flamengo. Marcos Braz, who recently left the club’s board after Rodolfo Landim’s term ended in 2024, and Bruno Henrique, who played for Fla between 2019 and 2024, built a strong relationship during one of the most victorious periods in the club’s history.
The period when Bruno Henrique and Marcos Braz worked together at Flamengo was marked by significant achievements, consolidating the duo as a fundamental part of the club’s golden era. Braz, who is now focusing on his candidacy for federal deputy, served as vice-president during the signing of BH 27 in 2019, spearheading a new victorious phase for ‘Mais Querido’ (The Most Beloved).
Bruno Henrique’s future at Flamengo and tributes
While Marcos Braz pursues new paths in politics, Bruno Henrique remains a key player in Flamengo’s squad. The forward renewed his contract with the club until the end of 2027, ensuring his presence in the red-and-black attack for another season. To crown his importance, the idol will have a statue in his honor, which will be erected at the club’s social headquarters in Gávea, with an inauguration planned for Mengão’s 131st anniversary in November 2026.
Flamengo’s next challenge
With Bruno Henrique available, Flamengo is preparing for the classic match against Botafogo this Sunday (30), valid for the Brazilian Championship. The game, which takes place at the Maracanã stadium at 4 PM (Brasília time), promises strong emotions.
Full coverage of the match will be available on Coluna do Fla’s YouTube channel, as well as on their website and social media. For fans, the options to watch are Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view).
The meeting between Marcos Braz and Bruno Henrique, although presented as a casual encounter, raises discussions about the relationship between politics and sports. As pointed out by João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla, the presence of campaign materials from Braz during the lunch raised questions about the use of Flamengo’s image in his political journey. The topic remains a subject of discussion among fans and analysts.
