FLAMENGO

At a time when it was very difficult and expensive to follow Flamengo's games outside Brazil, around 2007, a small group of “red-black” (rubro-negros) supporters began to gather in San Diego, California to watch and cheer during the Mengão’s games. Thus providing the perfect environment to the creation of CaliFla. The name denotes the joining of the proper names "California" and "Flemengo." Thus, meaning a meeting of Flamengo’s supporters or rubro-negros in the state of California. On August 19, 2019, we were officially recognized by the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo as the CaliFla Consulate. Thus, we became the first Flamengo consulate in California. CaliFla members are committed in cooperation to give the consulate visibility. As fans emerge from every corner of San Diego, San Francisco, Orange County and Los Angeles, the CaliFla consulate became an Embassy on December, 2020. We continue adjusting to fulfill our mission: Provide all Rubro-negros a nest, a place where they can gather and support the greatest team in the world on it’s endeavors. #VamosMengão​ Red and Black greetings.
