Botafogo supporters' week

On Tuesday (11), Botafogo welcomed Leandro Guimarães, Secretary of Sports and Leisure of Duque de Caxias, in support of the Duque-Caxiense Supporters’ Week, an official event of the municipality of Duque de Caxias that celebrates sports culture. Leandro was received by Pedro Felipe, Legal Director, and Julio Gracco, Director of Communication and Branding.

Botafogo Supporters’ Week in Duque de Caxias takes place between August 24 and 29, 2026, in an event aimed at celebrating supporters and the local sports culture, while promoting recreational, educational, cultural, and sporting activities. In addition, it seeks to encourage the practice of sports and support for local teams and athletes, strengthening ties among sports organizations, schools, clubs, and supporters.

"Our municipality today, with nearly one million inhabitants, has a segment that is passionate about Botafogo, and our great mayor, Netinho Reis, gave us the go-ahead to create Duque-Caxiense Supporters’ Week. For one week, we hold dozens of events, bringing supporters ever closer to the Club they love. I thank Botafogo for opening its doors so that we can contribute not only to the Club, but especially to the supporters, because there is nothing more important in this life than the supporters. What would football matches be without the fans truly cheering for the team and being so passionate? Today we had this opportunity, joining hands and contributing so that all these municipalities can have more and more opportunities to take part in this moment. So, the Duque de Caxias city government, through the Department of Sports and Leisure, is a partner of Botafogo, and I am very happy to have this partnership here being reciprocal," Leandro concluded.
