Celso Barros, Fluminense’s presidential candidate, passes away

‘In his memory, all activities of our campaign are being suspended for two days. I ask God to enlighten his family at this time,’ Montenegro concluded. Fluminense itself also issued a note honoring the physician, making the Salão Nobre at Laranjeiras available to Barros’ family for the wake. ‘Passionate from the beginning, the pediatrician lived intensely the discussions about the club’s fate. He was actively involved in Fluminense’s politics and was, at this moment, a candidate for the Presidency for the next three-year term,’ the club recalled. ‘Fluminense sympathizes with his family, friends, and all the Tricolores who admired him all these years in this moment of sadness.’
