Possible Strike Could Impact Flamengo's Game This Thursday (19th)


Conmebol has scheduled the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana for this Thursday (19th) in Argentina. However, the match between Lanús (ARG) and Flamengo might be postponed, according to reports from the neighboring country's press.

Argentinian media outlets are anticipating a national strike called by the CGT (General Confederation of Labor). The issue involves the participation of UTEDYC (Union of Workers of Sports and Civil Entities), a union representing workers in sports entities in the country.

If UTEDYC joins the movement, there will be no staff available to operate the stadium, potentially preventing the opening of the Ciudad de Lanús for the game this Thursday (19th). Despite this, Flamengo is maintaining its schedule and will depart for Argentina this Tuesday (17th).

WHAT DOES CONMEBOL THINK ABOUT THE MATTER?

As the organizer of the Recopa Sudamericana, Conmebol has not yet commented on the matter and is not considering a date change. After all, UTEDYC has not confirmed participation in the strike. Therefore, the match remains scheduled for this Thursday (19th) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

WHERE TO WATCH LANÚS VS FLAMENGO?

Lanús vs Flamengo will have exclusive coverage by the Disney Group. This means the match will air on the subscription channel ESPN and also on the Disney Plus Premium platform via streaming. However, Coluna do Fla offers the best coverage of the final on their website, social media, and YouTube.

Flamengo is aiming for their second Recopa title, after winning in 2020 against Independiente del Valle from Ecuador. Meanwhile, Lanús is playing in the final for the second time, after being runners-up to Atlético-MG in 2014. Therefore, the Argentinians will be striving for the club's first-ever trophy.
