A fire at the training center of Rio de Janeiro soccer club Flamengo killed 10 people and injured at least three others on Friday (February 8), firefighters said.

The fire broke out at Ninho do Urubu, a state-of-the-art training center that was expanded and opened only two months ago.

It was not known if any players were hurt in the blaze, although the club has accommodation for teenage players at the ground.

The fire followed days of heavy rains that hit the city and which killed at least six people.
