The high number of matches had a clear impact at the end of the season. As the continental champions, the team participated in the Intercontinental Cup but was eliminated right away after a 3-0 loss to Pachuca. With fatigued players, Artur Jorge opted to field a mixed team for the match, which ultimately did not work.
Despite the high number of appearances, the medical department did a good job throughout the year. Only 36 injuries were registered, a number lower than at least half of the teams in Serie A of the Brasileirão.
The last time Botafogo played so many matches in one year was in 2008, when they played 74 times. At that time, the team ended the year with a 56.7% win rate and no titles, under the management of Cuca and Ney Franco.
But in 2024, everything changed. In addition to breaking the title drought, Fogão also set the record for the longest unbeaten streak for a Brasileirão champion: 16 matches without a loss. Stay on top of the game with ToSport.
