The party was decorated in black, green and gold. The cake chosen was seven-tiered, and TVs throughout the hall showed Zico's highlights in matches for the Red-Black team.
“It's always rewarding, Flamengo and the fans are always honoring me. On a daily basis, you sign a shirt, take a picture, that's a tribute. It's a sign that you left something marked in history. I will always be grateful to Flamengo, who gave me the chance to be who I am in football. And I was able to play for the club of my heart and my father's club, who taught all his children to be Flamengo. It is rewarding to participate in the greatest achievements of the club, the club of my heart, it is too good,” commented Zico.
Flamengo president, Rodolfo Landim was one more to honor Zico. The representative highlighted that the greatest joys he experienced as a fan were with ‘Galinho’ and said that the idol's birthday represents the "Christmas" of the red-blacks.
