The fourth episode of our Mascots series presents Flamengo’s mascot, the Urubu, or the vulture. You’ll see how the nickname, which used to be an insult to Fla’s supporters, became a symbol of their strength and passion. We also depict curious moments such as the iconic game where the fans let a vulture loose on the pitch with Flamengo’s flag hanging around its neck.
