When do you play? Understand the scheme for Hulk's debut at Fluminense

The expectation surrounding Hulk's debut for Fluminense after the World Cup continues without an exact date, generating anxiety for both the striker and the club.

Although he was signed in May, the player will only be able to take the field from July, with the reopening of the transfer window. Initially, the planning pointed to the clash against RB Bragantino, on July 22nd, at Maracanã, valid for the 19th round of Series A of the Brazilian Championship.

However, the calendar changed because the São Paulo club came second in its Copa Sudamericana group and will need to compete in the playoffs of the continental tournament against Sporting Cristal on the 22nd and 29th of July, which will force the CBF to reschedule the duel for the Brasileirão.

With this change, the current trend is for the attacker's debut to take place against Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, on the weekend of the 25th or 26th of July. Hulk arrives at Tricolor das Laranjeiras without transfer costs, after amicably terminating his contract with Atlético-MG in a meeting between his staff and the Minas Gerais board.

History at Atlético-MG
The athlete ends a historic spell at Galo, where he arrived in 2021 and established himself as one of the main names in national football.

Over five years in Minas Gerais, he played more than 300 games, scored 140 goals, distributed 56 assists and racked up cups, including five consecutive Minas Gerais Championships, a Brazilian Championship, a Brazilian Cup and a Brazilian Super Cup.
