Flamengo has typically played their home matches in the Maracan (which is also Brazil's national stadium) since its completion in 1950, with some exceptions in recent years. Since 1969, the vulture (Portuguese: urubu) has been the most recognized mascot of Flamengo.
The Clssico dos Milhes (English: Derby of Millions) is the name given to Flamengo and Vasco da Gama association football derby, both teams from the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Considered as one of the most fiercely contested derbies in Brazilian football, both in historic rivalry and in popularity.
