Flamengo’s striker party video goes viral on social media

A video of 20-year-old Flamengo striker Wallace Yan at a party in Rio de Janeiro went viral on social media this Sunday. The date of the event is unknown, but the young player will not be included in Flamengo’s match against Palmeiras on Sunday. The information was first reported by journalist Venê Casagrande and confirmed by Jornal O Dia. The striker was absent against Botafogo due to a suspension after an incident against Bahia that was deemed irresponsible by Flamengo’s management, resulting in a 10% fine. Considered one of the top prospects from the club’s youth academy, Wallace Yan has been receiving criticism for his explosive behavior on the field. He turned professional last season but has been given more opportunities this year. In 2025, he played in 27 games, scoring seven goals and providing four assists.
