'''Fluminense Football Club''' ({{IPA|pt-BR|flumiˈnẽsi futʃiˈbɔw ˈklubi|lang}}) is a Brazilian sports club based in the neighbourhood of [[Laranjeiras]], in [[Rio de Janeiro]], being the oldest [[Association football|football]] club in the state since its foundation in 1902. It competes in the [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A]], the first tier of [[Brazilian football league system|Brazilian football]], and the [[Campeonato Carioca]], the [[State football leagues in Brazil|state league]] of [[Rio de Janeiro (state)|Rio de Janeiro]]. The word "''[[Fluminense (gentilic)|fluminense]]''" is the [[gentilic]] given to people born in the state of [[Rio de Janeiro (state)|Rio de Janeiro]].

Fluminense have won numerous titles throughout its history, including the [[Copa Libertadores]] in [[2023 Copa Libertadores|2023]] and the [[Recopa Sudamericana]] in [[2024 Recopa Sudamericana|2024]]. The club has also claimed four [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Brazilian championships]] ([[1970 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|1970]], [[1984 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|1984]], [[2010 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|2010]], and [[2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|2012]]), the [[Copa do Brasil]] in [[2007 Copa do Brasil|2007]], and 33 [[Campeonato Carioca|Rio de Janeiro state]] titles. Other notable achievements include winning the [[1952 Copa Rio|1952 Copa Rio]] — regarded by the club as a world title — and being the first football club to receive the [[Olympic Cup]] from the [[International Olympic Committee]], in 1949, for its pioneering role in sports. In 2023, Fluminense also reached the [[2023 FIFA Club World Cup|FIFA Club World Cup final]], finishing as runners-up to Manchester City.

Fluminense’s first [[Kit (association football)|home kit]] originally featured a shirt split in half vertically, with one side in white and the other in grey. However, due to the difficulty of sourcing these colours — particularly during a trip to England in 1904, where club members sought new kits — the club opted to change its colours. A vote was held, and Fluminense adopted its now-iconic home kit: a vertically striped shirt in burgundy, white, and green, with thinner white pinstripes flanked by broader burgundy and green stripes, typically paired with white shorts and white socks.

The club holds several long-standing rivalries with other clubs, most notably with [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]] (''[[Fla–Flu|Clássico Fla-Flu]]''), [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]] (''[[Clássico Vovô]]'') and [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]] (''Clássico dos Gigantes''). The [[Fla–Flu]] in particular is widely considered one of the greatest football derbies in Brazil and South America, having eventually set the still-standing world record for the highest attendance in a match between football clubs (nearly 200,000 spectators in the stadium of Maracanã).<ref>https://ge.globo.com/futebol/100-anos-de-fla-flu/noticia/2012/07/um-milagre-um-recorde-um-estadio-que-nao-cai-o-fla-flu-de-1963.html</ref>

Fluminense is recognized as the birthplace of the [[Brazil national football team]], which played its first-ever match at the club’s [[Estádio de Laranjeiras]] in [[Brazil v Exeter City F.C. (1914)|1914]], during Fluminense’s 12th anniversary celebrations. It was there that [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] scored its [[Brazil v Exeter City F.C. (1914)|first goal]] and won its [[1919 South American Championship|first trophy]]. To this day, Fluminense ranks among the top contributors to the national team, having provided the fifth most players in Brazil’s history.<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 September 2018 |title=Número de jogadores cedidos por cada clube brasileiro na história da Seleção Brasileira |trans-title=Number of players loaned by each Brazilian Club in the history of the Brazilian national team |url=https://www.rsssfbrasil.com/sel/jogclub.htm |access-date= |website=RSSSF Brasil}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:Oscar Cox.jpg|thumb|left|[[Oscar Cox]], founder of Fluminense]]

=== Rio's football pioneering ===
Fluminense Football Club was founded on 21 July 1902, in the neighbourhood of [[Laranjeiras, Rio de Janeiro|Laranjeiras]], in the city of [[Rio de Janeiro]], by a group of young football enthusiasts led by [[Oscar Cox]], an English citizen born in Brazil, who had come into contact with the sport whilst studying in Europe, and Cox was subsequently elected as the first president.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fluminense.com.br/memoria_historiaoscar.asp |language=Portuguese |publisher=Fluminense Football Club |title=Oscar Cox |accessdate=2010-01-10 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091219042942/http://www.fluminense.com.br/memoria_historiaoscar.asp |archivedate=December 19, 2009 }}</ref> Therefore, it was the first football club to be founded in the city, whose most popular sport at the time was rowing.<ref name="bbc2">{{cite web |date=18 May 2009 |title=How football conquered Brazil |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2009/05/how_football_conquered_brazil.html |access-date=11 June 2009 |website=BBC}}</ref>

=== Construction of Maracanã ===
[[File:Castilho, 1956.tif|thumb|Goalkeeper [[Carlos Castilho]], in 1956]]
The [[1950 World Cup]] strengthened football in the country, and as a result, the country's biggest teams, which basically only competed in state tournaments, began to measure their strength in tournaments and matches against teams from other states. To hold the competition, the [[Maracanã Stadium|Maracanã]] was built, the largest stadium in the world at that time, and which became the main stadium for Fluminense's games.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1950 FIFA World Cup Brazil |url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/origin1904-p.cxm.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/1950brazil |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=www.fifa.com |language=en}}</ref>

In the context of the World Cup held in the country in 1950, [[Brazilian Football Confederation|CBD]], accompanied by [[FIFA]] and [[International Football Association Board|IFAB]], decided to hold a competition that pitted the champion clubs from the main FIFA-affiliated countries against each other, thus creating the ''International Champions Club Tournament'', better known as [[Copa Rio (international tournament)|Copa Rio]]. The competition brought together the Champion clubs from countries in South America (Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) and Europe (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland and Yugoslavia), its first edition was in 1951, being won by [[SE Palmeiras|Palmeiras]].{{CN|date=April 2025}}

In 1951, Fluminense won the Carioca championship, which meant that the team qualified for the [[1952 Copa Rio]]. The team had great players who represented the [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian team]], such as [[Carlos Castilho]], [[Píndaro]], [[Pinheiro (Brazilian footballer)|Pinheiro]], [[Didi (footballer, born 1928)|Didi]], [[Orlando Pingo de Ouro]] and [[Telê Santana]].

In the first phase of the competition, the teams were divided into two groups, the first played their matches at Maracanã, and the second played their matches at [[Pacaembu Stadium|Pacaembu]], Fluminense was in the first group and faced [[Grasshopper Club Zürich|Grasshopper]] (Switzerland), [[Sporting CP|Sporting Lisboa]] (Portugal) and [[Peñarol]] (Uruguay), and qualified in first place. In the semi final they beat [[FK Austria Wien|Austria Wien]] (Austria), and in the final they defeated [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]].

From the 1950s, with the creation of the [[Torneio Rio–São Paulo|Rio-São Paulo Tournament]], the forerunner of what eventually would become the national championship, Fluminense established itself regionally by winning the tournament title in 1957 and 1960.<ref name="fifa1" />

=== National achievements ===
[[File:Fluminense FC 1960.jpg|thumb|Fluminense team of 1960]]From the 1960s onwards, the first national championships were played in Brazil, so that the country could send representatives to the [[Copa Libertadores]]. Fluminense's first national title came in 1970; At that time, Brazil had the best players in world football, and they all played for Brazilian clubs. Its squad was among the main candidates of the season in Brazil, Fluminense won the Brazilian Championship overcoming other major opponents of the season in [[Santos FC|Santos]], Palmeiras and [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]].

In the 1970s, Fluminense signed several famous players such as [[Carlos Alberto Torres]], [[Dirceu]], [[Gil (footballer, born 1950)|Gil]], [[Narciso Horacio Doval|Narciso Doval]], [[Pintinho]] and [[Rivellino|Roberto Rivellino]]. This team, called "Tricolor Machine", won the state championship in 1975 and 1976. In the national championship, Fluminense lost in the semifinals to Internacional in 1975 and Corinthians in 1976.

Fluminense became Brazilian champions again in [[1984 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|1984]], playing in the final against Rio rivals [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]]. During the decade, they also won three state championships in a row, in 1983, 1984 and 1985, defeating their main rival [[CR Flamengo|Flamengo]], in the final of the first two. These titles were won by great players such as [[Branco (footballer)|Branco]], [[Delei]], [[Edinho (footballer, born 1955)|Edinho]], [[Ricardo Gomes]], [[Romerito]] and the “Casal Vinte”: [[Assis (footballer, born 1971)|Assis]] and [[Washington (footballer, born 1960)|Washington]].

At the end of the 1980s, [[Copa do Brasil]] was created, inspired by cup tournaments played in European countries. Fluminense reached the final of the [[Copa do Brasil]] for the first time in 1992, but lost to [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]] in a penalty shootout, in a controversial match in [[Porto Alegre]].

=== Double relegation and return to the top flight ===
A disastrous campaign led to Fluminense's relegation from [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Brasileirão Série A]] in [[1996 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|1996]]. However, a set of off-field political manoeuvres not performed by the club allowed them to remain in Brazil's top domestic league,<ref name="wsc1">{{cite web|url=http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/2584/29/|work=When Saturday Comes (WSC)|title=Santos and sinners|date=February 2003|access-date=12 June 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111104095738/http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/2584/29/|archive-date=4 November 2011|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> only to be relegated the next year.<ref name="rsssf30">{{cite web|url=http://www.rsssfbrasil.com/tablesae/br1997.htm|publisher=Rec.

Fluminense had good campaigns in the 2000, 2001, and 2002 Serie A, finishing in the top four each of these times. Fluminense's first title of the 21st century was the 2002 Campeonato Carioca. In 2005, Fluminense won the [[2005 Campeonato Carioca|Campeonato Caroica]] and the Taca Rio, and finished fifth in the Brasileirao.

=== 2010s: Two Brazilian championships ===
For 2010, [[Muricy Ramalho]] replaced Cuca. His first task was in the [[2010 Copa do Brasil]] quarter-finals against [[Grêmio]], where Flumiense were eliminated 5–3 on aggregate. However, this elimination was not considered a "failure", in part because with this elimination the club was not participating in any other competitions and could fully focus on the Brasileirao.<ref name=":0" /> Eventually, the elimination helped the club, and that year, with Ramalho's effective defensive block conceding the least amount of goals in the league, Fluminense won the [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A 2010|Brazilian championship]] for the third time in their history after 26 years, securing it with a 1–0 victory at home to already relegated [[Guarani FC|Guarani]].<ref name=":0" /> It was also the fourth title for coach Ramalho in a decade: Ramalho had won the title three times in a row with [[São Paulo FC|São Paulo]] from 2006 to 2008. [[Darío Conca]] was named the Brazilian Championship's Player of the Season, playing all 38 league matches,<ref name=":0" /> while [[Fred (footballer, born 1983)|Fred]], [[Washington Stecanela Cerqueira|Washington]], and Deco were decisive players in Fluminense's title-winning campaign.

For the 2011 season, Fluminense appointed Abel Braga, who led the team to a third-placed finish in the Serie A and qualification for the following year's Copa Libertadores, despite being eliminated in the round of 16 of the aforementioned competition by [[Club Libertad]]. The club decided to keep Abel Braga for 2012 and made big investments for the squad, bringing back Thiago Neves and signing youngster [[Wellington Nem]].<ref name=":0" /> On 13 May 2012, Fluminense won the [[2012 Campeonato Carioca|Campeonato Carioca]], beating Rio rivals Botafogo 5–1 on aggregate for their first title of the 2012 season.

==== 2013: Close call ====
In 2013, Fluminense was eliminated in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals again, this time to Olimpia. In the [[2013 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Série A]], things took a turn for the worse when they lost six of their first nine matches, leading to the sacking of Abel Braga.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2013-07-29 |title=Flu demite Abel mesmo sem opção de consenso para assumir o time |url=https://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/times/fluminense/noticia/2013/07/sem-dinheiro-e-opcoes-de-consenso-flu-vive-impasse-para-adeus-de-abel.html |access-date=2023-12-05 |website=globoesporte.com}}</ref> Seven undefeated matches in September steered the club away from relegation, but an eight-match winless run put the club back into the fight for relegation, mainly due to the absences of stars [[Deco]], Fred, Thiago Neves, [[Carlinhos (footballer, born 1987)|Carlinhos]] and Wellington Nem, and in December 2013, a 2–1 victory away to [[Esporte Clube Bahia|Bahia]] in the last round of the Série A had Fluminense mathematically relegated to Série B. However, [[Associação Portuguesa de Desportos|Portuguesa]] and Fluminense's main rivals [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]] fielded ineligible players in their matches against [[Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense|Grêmio]] and [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]] respectively, thus losing 4 points after a verdict by STJD (Brazil's governing football jury). The points lost by Flamengo and Portuguesa allowed Fluminense to stay in Série A, with Portuguesa being relegated and Flamengo ending the championship as the lowest-ranked non-relegated club.

==== Since 2014: Rebuild ====
In 2014, Fluminense brought back [[Darío Conca]], as well as [[Walter (footballer, born 1989)|Walter]] and [[Cícero (footballer)|Cícero]]. Coupled with Fred's and Carlinhos’ recoveries from injury, Fluminense spent the majority of the [[2014 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|2014 Série A]] in the top five and fighting for one of the berths at the [[2015 Copa Libertadores]], ultimately failing to reach its goal after an unstable final stretch and finishing 6th. In December, Fluminense ended its partnership with its main sponsor, [[Unimed (organization)|Unimed]]. For fifteen years, the health insurance company was the main investor in signing players, especially after the team won the 2007 Copa do Brasil, bringing to the club athletes such as Darío Conca, Deco, [[Diego Cavalieri]], Fred, [[Rafael Sóbis]], Thiago Neves and Washington. From 2015 onwards, Fluminense underwent a remodeling, with the departure of some of its main players. The club's youth categories became fundamental for its maintenance in the first division in the following years, and the sale of young players became the club's main source of income.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mais de R$ 1 bilhão em 12 anos: Xerém é o que faz o Fluminense sobreviver competitivo {{!}} Blogs |url=http://espn.com.br/blogs/paulocobos/808525_mais-de-r-1-bilhao-em-12-anos-xerem-e-o-que-faz-o-fluminense-sobreviver-competitivo |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=ESPN |language=pt}}</ref>

In 2019, Fluminense hired [[Fernando Diniz]], a young coach with innovative ideas within Brazilian football, but political conflicts within the club forced him out. The following year, the club brought back Fred, one of the greatest idols in the club's history, and in the 2020 season qualified for the Copa Libertadores under [[Odair Hellmann]]'s tutelage.

However, after Odair's departure, the club has difficulty maintaining a coach, with [[Marcão (footballer, born 1972)|Marcão]], [[Roger Machado (footballer)|Roger Machado]] and [[Abel Braga]] taking over the position. In 2022, after winning the Campeonato Carioca against rivals Flu, their first trophy in a decade, with Argentine striker [[Germán Cano]] being the star of the team, and being eliminated from the Libertadores, Abel Braga retires from his coaching career, and Fluminense decides to give Fernando Diniz another chance.

In 2022, Fluminense achieves its best place in the Brazilian Championship in the last ten years, a third place, with an offensive team that is noted for its fluidity and ball possession, and the team qualifies for the group stage of the [[2023 Copa Libertadores]]. In the beginning of the season, the football played by the team is considered by many to be the best in South America, and the team reaches the Campeonato Carioca finals against Flamengo; in the first match the red-black team wins 2–0, but in the second game Fluminense achieved a 4–1 victory, winning the Campeonato Carioca for a second year in a row against its main rival, and Diniz clinching his first trophy with the club.<ref>{{Cite news |date=3 November 2023 |title=Is Fluminense the team of the future? |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/world/americas/copa-libertadores-fluminense-boca-juniors.html |access-date=4 December 2023}}</ref> 
In the 2023 Libertadores, Fluminense falls into group D, along with [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]] (Argentina), [[The Strongest]] (Bolivia) and [[Sporting Cristal]] (Peru), despite being considered one of the most difficult groups in the edition, Fluminense ranks first, inflicting the biggest defeat in River Plate's history in the competition, 5–1 at Maracanã. In the final stage of the dispute, the opponents were [[Argentinos Juniors]], [[Club Olimpia|Olimpia]] (Paraguay) and [[Sport Club Internacional|Internacional]], the team defeated all opponents without suffering any defeat.

The Maracanã was previously chosen to be the stage for the final; on the other side the opponent would be [[Boca Juniors]], who sought to become champions of the competition for the seventh time, and with this become the greatest champion of the competition, tied to [[Club Atlético Independiente|Independiente]]. In the final, striker [[Germán Cano]] opened the scoring for Fluminense, but Peruvian right-back [[Luis Advíncula]] tied the match for Boca; the match then went into extra time, when youngster [[John Kennedy (Brazilian footballer)|John Kennedy]], coming from the youth team, came off the bench and scored the team's second goal. The match ended 2–1 for Fluminense, who lifted the Copa Libertadores trophy for the first time. The Copa Libertadores win sent Fluminense to play in the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] semi final, where they beat African champions [[Al Ahly SC|Al Ahly]] from Egypt 2–0, but lost 4–0 in the [[2023 FIFA Club World Cup final|final]] against [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67795653 |title=Manchester City 4-0 Fluminense: Julian Alvarez scores twice as English side win Fifa Club World Cup |publisher=BBC Sport |date=22 December 2023 }}</ref>

==Rivalries==
[[File:Clássico Vovô (5091646151).jpg|thumb|[[Leandro Guerreiro]] from [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]] disputing for the ball with [[Washington (footballer, born 1 April 1975)|Washington]] from Fluminense.]]According to the fluzao.info site, the average paying public at the principal ''classicos'' of Fluminense played in the [[Maracanã Stadium|Estádio do Maracanã]] is 60,107 against [[CR Flamengo|Flamengo]], 43,735 against [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]], 34,359 against [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]], 25,127 against [[America Football Club (Rio de Janeiro)|America]] and 22,527 against [[Bangu Atlético Clube|Bangu]] (1950-2010). These statistics could be about 20% higher, given the issues of the distribution of gratuities at Maracanã.<ref name="fluzao.info">{{cite web |title=Estatísticas Fluminense |url=http://www.fluzao.info/ |access-date=21 July 2015 |website=Fluzao.info}}</ref>

=== Grandpa Derby ===
Grandpa Derby or Grandfather Derby (''[[Clássico Vovô]]''), played with [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]]. The name comes from being the two oldest practicing football clubs among the great clubs of [[Rio de Janeiro]], and this is also the oldest derby in Brazil, because its first game was on 22 October 1905, friendly that Fluminense won by 6–0. Along with six other clubs, they were responsible for creating the [[1906 Campeonato Carioca|Carioca Football Championship in 1906]].

=== Fla-Flu ===
[[Fla-Flu]] Derby, also called Derby of Crowds (''Clássico das Multidões''), played with [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]]. It is considered by football experts and much of the sports media as one of the greatest classics in the world. According to writer [[Nelson Rodrigues]], the derby was engendered by resentment. On the tricolor side, the fact that their starting players deserted and went to form Flamengo's football department, and on the red-black side, the fact that Fluminense still won the first match, circumstances that have been fundamental in generating the derby's mystique.<ref>Livro "Fla-Flu... E as Multidões Despertaram", de Nélson Rodrigues e Mário Filho (Edição Europa, 1987).</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Soldo |first=Ivan |title=Top 20 Greatest Football Derbies In The World |url=https://futebolonline.io/noticias-futebol-online/ |access-date=2023-12-15 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en}}</ref>

=== Giants' Derby ===
Giants' Derby (''[[Clássico dos Gigantes]]''), played with [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]]. The derby gets its name because of the "giant" matches that have been played between the two, these being the final for the [[1984 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A]], which was won by Fluminense, and the [[1985 Copa Libertadores]], which had two draws, in addition to several decisions [[Campeonato Carioca|Carioca Championship]]: 1949, 1956, 1970, 1972, 1975, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1993, 1994 and 2003.

=== Silvio Santos Derby ===
Silvio Santos Derby (''[[Clássico Silvio Santos]]''), played with [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista|Corinthians]]. It is perhaps the most representative among the various interstate confrontations with big Brazilian clubs played by Fluminense, given the fact that these clubs often intersect at decisive moments in their seasons.<ref>{{cite web |author= |date=10 July 2012 |title=Corinthians é visto como o maior rival no futebol nacional, diz pesquisa (apontando as principais ''rivalidades'' para cada clube, não a importância dos clássicos). |url=https://futebolonline.io/noticias-futebol-online/ |access-date=15 June 2017 |publisher=[[GloboEsporte.com]]}}</ref> The Derby dates back to 1933, in a friendly match that marked both Fluminense's first match as a professional team and Corinthians' first inter-state match as a professional.

The fixture's name was given on 17 August 2024, after the Brazilian television host of [[Silvio Santos|the same name]], died on the same day. Santos was a supporter of both clubs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lance.com.br/fora-de-campo/silvio-santos-vira-apelido-de-classico-do-brasileirao-entenda.html.amp|title=Silvio Santos vira apelido de clássico do Brasileirão; entenda|date=2024-08-17|access-date=2024-08-19|website=www.lance.com.br|language=pt-br}}</ref>

=== Rivalry with LDU ===
Since [[L.D.U. Quito]] defeated Fluminense  in the [[2008 Copa Libertadores]] final and the [[2009 Copa Sudamericana|Copa Sudamericana]] final of the following year, a strong international rivalry has developed between the two teams.<ref>{{Cite news |date=February 29, 2024 |title=Liga de Quito vs. Fluminense, un clásico sudamericano |url=https://www.primicias.ec/noticias/jugada/recopa-liga-quito-fluminense-clasico/ |access-date=April 7, 2025 |work=Primicias |language=Spanish |agency=Primicias}}</ref> This rivalry reached new heights when the two teams met on a third international final for the [[2024 Recopa Sudamericana]], which was won by Fluminense. This has been the only case of two CONMEBOL teams facing each other on each of the three continental tournaments.

== Stadiums ==
=== Laranjeiras Stadium ===
[[File:Das laranjeiras stadium.jpg|thumb|Laranjeiras Stadium, in 1919.]]The [[Estádio das Laranjeiras|Manoel Schwartz Stadium]] is better known as the '''Laranjeiras Stadium''', or also the Álvaro Chaves Street Stadium, due to the name of the street where its main entrance is located. It was the place where the Rio team played its games for decades, however, for security reasons, due to the high demand for attendance at its games, it no longer does so, currently playing at [[Maracanã Stadium|Maracanã]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-12-10 |title=History |url=http://www.flumania.com.br/histori4.htm |access-date=2023-11-30 |archive-date=10 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071210153924/http://www.flumania.com.br/histori4.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Flu's first match at the Laranjeiras Stadium was the 4–1 victory over Vila Isabel, in the 1919 Carioca Championship, with the Tricolor goals having been scored by [[Harry Welfare]] (3) and Machado. Opened in 1919 with a capacity for 18,000 people and having had its capacity expanded to 25,000 people since 1922, in some games this stadium had estimated audiences greater than its capacity.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Decisões de Títulos No Estádio de Laranjeiras. |url=https://www.rsssfbrasil.com/miscellaneous/mattitlar.htm |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=www.rsssfbrasil.com}}</ref>

The record for paying audiences was in the Fluminense 3-1 Flamengo match, on 14 June 1925, when 25,718 spectators paid for tickets, although today the audience for Fluminense's match against Sporting, held on 15 July, is unknown. 1928, in the Vulcain Cup dispute, with the stadium full and over 2,000 chairs being placed on the athletics track to accommodate the public present.

Currently, Fluminense does not play its games at its stadium, at the club's option, as it would no longer have the security conditions and capacity to host large events, and is currently only used for training, small commemorative events, social and educational projects, games of the [[Fluminense FC (women)|women's football team]] and the youth teams.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Exeter City draw with Fluminense U23s |language=en-GB |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/28398951 |access-date=2023-11-30}}</ref>  The last time an official match for Fluminense's main team took place at Laranjeiras Stadium was in 2003, where Flu drew 3–3 with [[Americano FC|Americano]], in the [[Campeonato Carioca|Carioca Championship]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-04-12 |title=Flu nas Laranjeiras?

The renovation of the stadium has been a long-standing demand of the club, however a series of problems make this difficult, such as technical issues linked to the historical preservation of the building, the small area for the construction of a modern stadium and the opposition of the surrounding residents. The current project, at a more advanced stage, foresees a revitalization of Laranjeiras, with the stadium remaining with a small audience capacity, being able to host lower demand games, such as the first phases of the state championship and women's football.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mário explica plano de reforma de Laranjeiras e diz que Fluminense não fará 'loucuras' |url=https://www.lance.com.br/fluminense/mario-explica-plano-reforma-laranjeiras-diz-que-nao-fara-loucuras.html |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=www.lance.com.br |date=31 January 2021 |language=pt-br}}</ref>

=== Maracanã Stadium ===
Since its construction for the 1950 World Cup, the [[Maracanã Stadium|Maracanã]] has primarily served as the home ground for the four biggest Rio de Janeiro clubs.<ref name="schreef">{{Cite web |last=Schreef |first=Wojciech |date=2017-11-10 |title=Maracana - Rio de Janeiro - The Stadium Guide |url=https://www.stadiumguide.com/maracana/ |access-date=2023-11-30 |language=nl}}</ref> The stadium was officially completed in 1965, 17 years after construction began. In 1963, more than 194,000 people attended a match between [[CR Flamengo|Flamengo]] and Fluminense at the Maracanã, Rio Championship final.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maiores Públicos do Fla-Flu. |url=https://www.rsssfbrasil.com/miscellaneous/attflaflu.htm |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=www.rsssfbrasil.com}}</ref>

At the stadium, Fluminense won some of the most important titles, such as the [[1952 Copa Rio]], for many the most important in its history, it won its first [[Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|Brazilian Championship]] in [[1970 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A|1970]], the ''Tricolor Machine'' was twice champion of Carioca (1975–76), led by [[Rivellino|Roberto Rivellino]], it was Brazilian champion over its rival [[CR Vasco da Gama|Vasco da Gama]], in 1984, was three-time Rio champion against Flamengo (1983–85), he was Carioca champion in 1995 with [[Renato Gaúcho]]'s belly goal, against Romário's Flamengo (at the time named [[FIFA World Player of the Year]]). In this century he won the 2007 [[Copa do Brasil|Brazil's Cup]] and the [[2023 Copa Libertadores|2023]] [[Copa Libertadores]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Reidy |first=Paul |date=2023-11-02 |title=Copa Libertadores: which teams have won the most times?

Following its 50th anniversary and aiming to hold the [[2000 FIFA Club World Championship|2000 FIFA Club World Cup]] in Brazil, the stadium underwent renovations which would increase its full capacity to around 103,000. After years of planning and nine months of closure between 2005 and 2006, the stadium was reopened in January 2007 with an all-seated capacity of 87,000. For the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Olympics]] and [[2016 Summer Paralympics|Paralympics]], a major expedition project was started in 2010. The original stand, with a two-level configuration, was demolished, making way for a new single-level stand, and the stadium had its capacity reduced to 78,838 seats.<ref name="schreef"/>

From 2013 onwards, the stadium was managed by the Brazilian conglomerate [[Odebrecht]]. Corruption scandals, the high rents charged by the company and the abandonment of the stadium, meant that Flamengo and Fluminense came together to manage it.<ref>{{Cite web |first1=Flora |last1=Charner |first2=Shasta |last2=Darlington |date=2017-02-01 |title=Why the legendary Maracana now looks like a ghost stadium |url=https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/01/football/maracana-stadium-rio-2016-olympics/index.html |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=CNN |language=en}}</ref> Although clubs have kept the stadium in good condition since 2016 and covered its maintenance costs, it was only in 2019 that the government canceled contracts with Odebrecht. Flamengo and Fluminense then created a joint company, "Fla-Flu S.A." opened especially to manage Maracanã and its entire sports complex.<ref name="schreef"/>{{wide image|Panorama torcida Fluminense - 08.08.2023.jpg|950|Fluminense supporters, at the [[Maracanã Stadium]], during the match between Fluminense and [[Argentinos Juniors]], in the round of 16 of the [[2023 Copa Libertadores]].|align-cap=center}}
