The beginning of the 1990s was marked by important achievements: the 1990 Copa do Brasil and the Carioca titles of 1991 and 1992. The 1991 Campeonato Carioca is part of this winning sequence. The state championship had great weight in the rivalry with Fluminense, Vasco da Gama, and Botafogo, and the 1991 title consolidated Flamengo as the main protagonist in the regional scene.
