Arena PE clash: organiser confirms Flamengo v Sport venue

Sport vs Flamengo and Real Estate Event Scheduled for the Same Day at Arena Pernambuco

Sport sold the home field rights from Ilha do Retiro to Arena Pernambuco, but failed to consult the administration of the World Cup stadium. The CBF scheduled the match against Flamengo for November 13, but there is a real estate event at the venue on that date. This Monday (13), in contact with Coluna do Fla, the event organizer issued a statement.

ORGANIZADORA DE EVENTO NA ARENA PE EMITE NOTA OFICIAL SOBRE SPORT X FLAMENGO A PSIU Educação, que organiza o Fórum Imobi 2025, soltou uma nota oficial sobre o conflito de datas do evento com Sport x Flamengo na Arena "Não há disponibilidade", reforça a nota @ColunadoFla

WHAT DID THE ORGANIZER WITH AN EVENT ON THE DAY OF SPORT VS FLAMENGO SAY?

“PSIU Educação, the company responsible for Fórum Imobi 2025, the largest real estate event in the Northeast, confirms the event will take place on November 13 and 14 at Arena Pernambuco. Due to recent reports about the possibility of a football match between Sport and Flamengo being held at the same location on November 13, the Fórum Imobi organization clarifies that the Arena Pernambuco administration has already officially confirmed to the organizers that Fórum Imobi 2025 is confirmed as planned. There is no availability on those dates at Arena Pernambuco to accommodate another event that would use the same areas designated for Fórum Imobi. The Arena is a multi-purpose facility, capable of hosting various activities at the same time, except for football matches, which require specific security measures.”

WHAT HAPPENED?

Virtually relegated to Série B, Sport took advantage of the Flamengo game to ‘make money’. Thus, the club from Pernambuco sold the home field rights for R$ 3 million, causing outrage among fans who want the match at Ilha do Retiro.

WHAT GAME IS THIS?

Sport vs Flamengo, in Pernambuco, is valid for the 12th round of the Brasileirão. The match was postponed due to the Club World Cup, when Mengão traveled to the United States. While Fla was traveling through North America, the Pernambuco club sold the home rights.

After all, the contract was signed in June, precisely during the World Cup. If Sport does not fulfill the agreement with the company that took the game to Arena Pernambuco, it will have to pay a fine of more than R$ 3 million. Thus, the Pernambuco Football Federation is already negotiating with the CBF for a new date for the match.
