The CONMEBOL received a complaint from the Flamengo for the use of the stadium Maracanawhich put into doubt the venue stipulated for the single final of the Libertadores Cup between Mouth and Fluminensescheduled to be held on Saturday, November 4 in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
What the “Rubro Negro” team demanded is that the infrastructure be given to them for the match they have planned against Red Bull Bragantino for the Brasileirao this October 28, but CONMEBOL wants to take over the Maracaná from Monday the 23rd of this year in order to be able to Make the corresponding preparations for the grand finale.
This unleashed the anger of the red and black club, since for this same reason it had to move the match this Wednesday, October 25 against Goias to the General Raulino de Oliveira Municipal Stadium in Volta Redonda, a city located 150 kilometers from the Rio metropolis.
In turn, Flamengo demanded to have more boxes than Boca and Fluminense because they were the “true” owners of the stadium.
The president of CONMEBOL, Alejandro Domínguez, warned the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Ednaldo Rodrigues, that if there is no immediate solution to this conflict he will deprive the Maracaná of the possibility of hosting the most important match of the year in South America. .
What options are being considered to replace the Maracaná
In the event that there is no solution to the conflict with Flamengo and their match with Bragantino, the idea would be to move the final between Boca and Fluminense to the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium, also in Rio de Janeiro, but the drawback will be its capacity. , since it can only accommodate approximately 46,000 spectators.
The possibility of it being played in another city within Brazil, or even in another country, was not ruled out either, but these last two would be the furthest options with respect to the possibilities.
