Flamengo opens season vs Fluminense with three internationals back

Sesc RJ Flamengo start the 2026/27 season against Fluminense in the Copa SuperVôlei on 24 September in Niterói. Opposite Tainara, middle Lorena and setter Vivian return from Brazil's South American gold, while middle Minja Osmajic (finger fracture) and outside Karina (ankle fracture) remain out.

What it means

• Tainara, Lorena and Vivian return after winning the South American title with Brazil
• Minja Osmajic out with a fracture of the right hand's third finger
• Karina still rehabilitating a right ankle fracture
• Youth players Nayla (middle) and Giovanna Perrota (outside) added to the squad

Model read

Flamengo are net stronger for the opener: the return of setter Vivian and opposite Tainara restores the spine of the team, though the absences of Osmajic and Karina thin the middle and outside options in a short-rotation squad.
