In 1961, Flamengo qualified first for the final phase of the state championship of Rio Grande do Sul. At the beginning of the decade, the club also made a Argentina trip that took a lot of attention at that time. It was impressive enough that the small-town club from the hinterland by plane, a Douglas DC-3, opened to Buenos Aires, but also the results enjoyed by contemporaries, even if the opponents were not the big clubs from La Plata.
Remote end of the decade, Brazil slid into a financial crisis, and in Caxias do Sul led the situation for the football clubs in an existential crisis. The arch-rivals Flamengo and Juventude decided to marriage and united in December 1971 on the Associação de Caxias Futebol (ACF ).
