➡️ Campeonato Carioca: Ferj defines arbitration for Fluminense x Flamengo

In the cut that considers all Series A clubs in the period, only Flamengo (233 wins) and Palmeiras (222) appear ahead of Fluminense. The number consolidates the Rio club among the most regular teams in the country in recent years, even in a scenario of strong concentration of investments.

The data gains weight when looking at the context of the decade. Flamengo and Palmeiras operate with higher budgets and more expensive squads, while Fluminense remained competitive with less replacement capacity, but with high performance in different competitions.

The period includes achievements. Since 2021, Fluminense has won two Carioca Championships, both against Flamengo itself, and two Guanabara Cups (2022 and 2023), in addition to the 2023 Libertadores and the 2024 Recopa. The club has also had recent international protagonism, with the historic campaign in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, when it was the only non-European team to reach the semi-finals, and the runner-up world championship in 2023.

The recent surge under the command of Luis Zubeldía directly contributed to the growth of the number and to the overtaking of Atlético-MG in the ranking.
