O Flamengo left this Thursday night for Morocco, where he is seeking his second world championship. The bus with the delegation left the CT of Ninho do Urubu, in Vargem Grande, shortly after 7 pm (Brasília time), in the arms of the crowd, and arrived at Tom Jobim International Airport, Galeão, around 9 pm.
Near the airport, the bus passed through a large crowd of fans. On the way, some lit flares to support the team. Also in the surroundings, others got on the bus with pole flags.
To avoid agglomeration, the club entered through the Galeão cargo terminal to board the flight to Morocco. The disembarkation of the delegation in Casablanca is scheduled for this Friday morning.
