Flamengo Mosaic: Photos and Video of Vulture in Maracanã

Mosaico do Flamengo: fotos e vídeo do urubu no Maracanã image

The Flamengo fans received the team before the game against LDU-EQU in Maracanã, with a great mosaic with the design of a vulture, a bird that is mascot of the club. The mosaic had great repercussion on social networks.

The choice of vulture as a mascot happened in 1969. Initially, rival fans called the red-blacks pejoratively. However, in June 1969, in a match against Botafogo, in Maracanã, a group of Flamengo fans took a vulture to the stadium and released it moments before the game. In this way, the fans resignified the animal, which became one of the club’s symbols on this 2-1 win day.
