Fluminense Football Club is a legendary Brazilian football club that is a member-owned association, playing its home matches at the historic Maracanã Stadium, and has a rich history of winning both domestic and international trophies. Unlike many clubs with a single owner, Fluminense is a member-owned organization. This means the club is run by an elected president and a board, with the current president being Mário Bittencourt* This structure allows the club to be guided by its members and its long-standing traditions. While remaining member-owned, Fluminense has also partnered with private investment firms to help secure its financial future, which is a modern and exciting step for the club. The current head coach is Renato Gaúcho, a well-respected figure in Brazilian football.
Fluminense plays its home matches at the world-famous **Estádio do Maracanã**, which is a symbol of Brazilian football. Originally built for the 1950 FIFA World Cup, the stadium holds a storied history of both immense triumphs and heart-wrenching moments, most notably the “Maracanaço,” when Brazil lost the 1950 World Cup final. The Maracanã has hosted two World Cup finals (1950 and 2014) and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Olympic Games. Fluminense has a rich and impressive list of honors, reflecting its status as a Brazilian football giant.
The pinnacle of their recent success came in 2023 when they won the prestigious **Copa Libertadores**, the premier club competition in South America. They followed this up by winning the Recopa Sudamericana in 2024. The club also counts the **1952 Copa Rio** as an intercontinental title. On the domestic front, the club has won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A four times (1970, 1984, 2010, 2012) and the **Copa do Brasil** once in 2007. They are also dominant at the state level, holding a remarkable 33 Campeonato Carioca** titles, making them one of the most successful clubs in the history of Rio de Janeiro football.
