After Independiente trouble, security plan for River vs Libertad | OneFootball

The security operation at the Monumental for tonight's match between River and Libertad, for the Copa Libertadores round of 16, will feature over 1,000 police officers, according to the City's Ministry of Security. Around 1,000 Paraguayan fans are expected, who will be located in a section of the upper Centenario stand.

There will be a large number of private security agents to create a buffer zone in the stand and separate the visiting fans from the locals. This is because Libertad did not sell all the tickets they had available (4,000), so the Paraguayans will only occupy one sector of the Centenario, specifically the corner next to the Belgrano. Meanwhile, the rest of the stand will be occupied by River fans.

A notable detail is that the sector where the visitors will be located has acrylic barriers on both sides and red tarps have been placed over them to prevent contact with the rest of the public. Additionally, there is a fence to prevent the throwing of any projectiles.

The Guarani team's fans will use the stadium entrance on Padre Neuman street to avoid crossing paths with River fans who will enter through Udaondo and Libertador. Those attending the match will have to go through three filter rings, where their tickets will be checked with a QR code reader and various searches will be carried out.

It's worth remembering that the 'Tribuna Segura' program, promoted by the National Ministry of Security and in force at sports events throughout the country, will be applied to identify people with admission rights.

The Monumental's doors will open at 6:30 pm, three hours before the start of the match, and fans are advised to arrive early to avoid any complications at the entrance. A full house is expected from River fans tonight.
