Flamengo's Youth Squads of all categories have won trophies at national and international level. Numerous international players have graduated from the academy team. Notable academy graduates in recent years include Lyon midfielder Lucas Paquetá, Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior, 2016 Summer Olympic Games Gold Medal midfielder Renato Augusto alongside many first team players, such as midfielder Reinier Jesus.

The youth sector is composed of various squads divided by age groups. Clube de Regatas do Flamengo is responsible for over 100 young athletes in 5 different categories: U-11, U-13, U-15, U-17, U-20. The U-20 squad currently plays in the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20, the Copa do Brasil Sub-20, the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, the Campeonato Carioca Sub-20 and the Torneio Octávio Pinto Guimarães.[3] The U-17 squad currently plays in the Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-17, the Copa do Brasil Sub-17 and the Campeonato Carioca Sub-17.[4]

Stadium edit

Flamengo's Youth Academy home stadium is nominally the Estádio da Gávea (officially named the Estádio José Bastos Padilha at Flamengo's Gávea Headquarters), which was inaugurated on September 4, 1938, and has a capacity of 4,000 people.[5] The stadium is named after José Bastos Padilha, Flamengo's president at the time of the stadium's construction, from 1933 to 1937.[6] Gávea Stadium is not actually located in the neighborhood of Gávea but rather in Leblon.[7]

Since the 1990s, the stadium has been used almost exclusively for the club's youth and women's teams' matches, and as the training ground for the senior team.[8]

Ninho do Urubu edit

All the youth teams currently train at the club's main training ground, Ninho do Urubu, located in the Vargem Grande neighborhood, in the West Zone.[9] These athletes have modern dormitories, living room, recreation room and cafeteria. The athletes also have medical, dental and psychological assistance.

On the morning of February 8, 2019 a fire broke out in the living quarters of several youth academy players while they were sleeping.[10] Ten players between the ages of 14 and 17 were killed, and three others were hospitalized with burn injuries.[11]
