Biometric glitch sparks alert for the derby, here’s what to do | OneFootball

The Fluminense fans heading to Estádio Nilton Santos this Sunday (22) to watch the Carioca Championship semifinal against Vasco need to pay attention to important operational details. Reports indicate that since last Friday, the sales and facial recognition system has been experiencing instabilities.

In light of this situation, a contingency plan involving the use of QR Code has been activated, but it's crucial to understand the rules to avoid chaos at the turnstiles.

Biometrics is the priority, QR Code is the emergency

The guidance given to fans is clear: the main access method remains facial biometrics. The QR Code will serve exclusively as a “safety key” to unlock entry for those experiencing technical issues during facial recognition.

To eliminate any doubts, the procedure should be as follows:

In other words, the digital code is not an option for fans to choose from, but rather a resource to resolve access issues at the moment. However, it is important for fans to have the QR Code with them, as its use may be necessary.

Game operation is the rival's responsibility

It is important to emphasize that the home field and organization of the match are Vasco da Gama's responsibility. Therefore, the entire turnstile system, facial recognition technology, and entry operation are the responsibility of the cross-maltese club. Fluminense is merely passing on the instructions to ensure that its fans experience the least possible inconvenience when entering the stadium.

The match kicks off at 6 PM for the first game of the decision on who advances to the Cariocão final. Arrive early to avoid queues due to these potential system instabilities.
