CBF rules out delay to Flamengo v Coritiba, last before World Cup | OneFootball

Why shouldn’t the CBF postpone the Flamengo vs. Coritiba match?

Flamengo was considering asking for the match against Coritiba, in the Brasileirão, to be postponed. However, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) ruled out any possibility of changing the date of the game.

Flamengo planned to request the postponement of the match against Coritiba because of the number of players who will be unavailable due to the World Cup. At first, the Rubro-Negro is expected to be without nine players for the clash.

However, the CBF’s decision is that the 18th-round matches will not be changed, since the issue had already been identified and discussed earlier with the clubs. Therefore, Flamengo should face Coritiba on May 30 at the Maracanã with at least nine absences. The information comes from ESPN.
