Fluminense is a historic Rio de Janeiro football club founded in 1902 and known for its burgundy, green and white identity. This team page brings together the recorded 36-player squad, coaching chronology, recent player movement and competition participation available. It also places the club within the wider story of Laranjeiras, the Maracanã, the Tricolor tradition and the passionate Fla-Flu rivalry. The profile balances current team information with durable context from Fluminense’s long place in Brazilian football.
Fluminense’s recorded squad contains 36 players: 11 midfielders, 12 defenders, nine attackers and four goalkeepers. The group combines established Brazilian figures with younger names and South American reinforcements. Fábio anchors the goalkeeper group, while Thiago Silva, Guilherme Arana, Samuel Xavier and Ignacio add experience across the defence. Midfield options include PH Ganso, Martinelli, Hércules, Nonato and Y. Soteldo. The attacking unit features G. Cano, Hulk, J. Savarino, John Kennedy and R. Castillo, alongside K. Serna, Keven Samuel, Matheus Reis and Wesley Nata. Shirt numbers are recorded for most, but not every player.
The most recent recorded coaching appointment is Renato Gaúcho, who began on 1 April 2025. The chronology does not confirm that he held the position, so his status is stated neutrally. Before him, Mano Menezes was recorded from July 2024 to March 2025, following Fernando Diniz from May 2022 to June 2024. Abel Braga appears from December 2021 to May 2022, while Marcão is listed from September 2021 without a recorded end date. All five entries identify Brazilian coaches, forming a recent sequence of changes rather than a confirmed current appointment.

Fluminense’s recorded movement shows a mixed registration pattern rather than a single dominant type. The arrivals include several returns from loan, notably Jhonny, Kayky Almeida, Freitas, Samuel Granada, Thiago Henrique, Lelê and Gustavo Ramalho, alongside free-agent entries for Thiago Silva, Hulk and Juan Batista. The sample also records loans and transfers, including Alisson, J. Millán, R. Castillo, J. Savarino and Guilherme Arana. Departures are especially marked by loans, including Kayky Almeida, Arthur Henrique, Miguel Sampaio, Jhonny, S. Moreno, Luis Fernando, R. Lezcano, G. Fuentes, Yago Ferreira, Lima and Everaldo. Davi Schuindt and F. Bernal are listed as transfers and several others as free agents. Some players appear in both directions at different dates, reflecting changing registration status across the period. Because both lists cover selected entries and contain incomplete type or fee details, they describe the shape of recorded activity rather than a full window total or a definitive balance.
Fluminense has recorded participation in Brazil’s Serie A from 2010 through 2025, with the competition still part of its recent profile. Carioca - 1 and the Copa Do Brasil are likewise recorded through 2025 and remain recent domestic competitions in the available timeline. The club’s recent international record includes CONMEBOL Sudamericana through 2025 and the FIFA Club World Cup through 2025. CONMEBOL Libertadores is recorded from 2021 to 2024, while the CONMEBOL Recopa appears only in 2024. Friendlies Clubs is a historical 2020 entry. The participation record therefore spans state, national, continental and global competitions.
Fluminense Football Club, commonly known as Fluminense, Flu or Fluzão, is a Rio de Janeiro institution founded in 1902. Based in the Laranjeiras neighbourhood, the club carries a distinctive burgundy, green and white identity and is associated with the elegant FFC monogram on its shield. Its modern matchday presence is closely linked to Maracanã Stadium, while Estádio das Laranjeiras remains an important historic ground and a reminder of the club’s origins.
Founded by Oscar Cox, Fluminense is recognised as the oldest football club in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Laranjeiras occupies a special place in Brazilian football history: it hosted early Brazil national-team matches and is connected with the selection’s first official international titles. That heritage gives the club a significance beyond its results, linking its institutional story to the development of football in Brazil.
Fluminense operates as a traditional social and sporting association, governed through an elected president and deliberative council with a strong member base rather than a single external corporate owner. Its football culture is associated with technical, possession-oriented play and the development of players through the Xerém academy. The club’s identity combines academy graduates, experienced leaders and selected South American talent, reflecting both Rio’s creative football culture and the demands of elite competition.
The Tricolor tradition is visible in the vertically striped burgundy, green and white shirt and in the supporters’ Pó de Arroz ceremony, which transformed an old taunt into a symbol of pride. The Fla-Flu rivalry with Flamengo is central to the club’s public profile and to Rio’s football culture. In competition terms, Fluminense’s recorded ecosystem includes the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A, Campeonato Carioca, Copa Do Brasil and recurring CONMEBOL tournaments, placing the club within Brazil’s domestic structure and South America’s wider football community.
