The festivities was a spectacle as athletes and the coaching staff embarked on a parade down the iconic Avenida Presidente Antônio Carlos.

Overflowing with elation, Coach Fernando Diniz expressed, “Today is just a party. It’s a big, wonderful party, the way the fans deserved after so long. For those who are here and for those who left and didn’t have the joy of seeing it”

To facilitate the journey, a prudent recommendation advised fans to opt for public transportation, with the subway, particularly the Carioca station, being the preferred mode.

Despite the relentless heat, a resilient spirit prevailed among the fans. The crowd was still massive despite Climatempo’s forecast hinting at the possibility of Rio de Janeiro experiencing its highest recorded temperature on the memorable Sunday.

Fluminense etched history by clinching their inaugural Libertadores title in a thrilling 2-1 victory against Boca Juniors from Argentina at the iconic Maracanã.
