“Conmebol accepts police ruling”, says PVC on away end at Nubank Parque | OneFootball

The decision on how many tickets will be available for Fluminense fans at Nubank Parque for the second leg of the Libertadores semifinal is in the hands of the São Paulo Military Police. Palmeiras has already asked the force for authorization to make the 4,000 tickets provided for in Conmebol regulations available, but has not yet received a response. On the De Primeira program on UOL Channel, Paulo Vinícius Coelho, known as PVC, explained that the South American body will have to respect the decision of the São Paulo authorities if the Military Police maintains the restriction currently applied to visiting fans in the capital. “If the São Paulo Military Police says it is not able to provide security for 4,000 visiting supporters, Conmebol will accept the public authorities’ decision,” the journalist said. According to PVC, the limitation is not a rule specific to Nubank Parque. The São Paulo Military Police has been adopting a limit of 2,000 visiting fans at different stadiums in the capital, such as Neo Química Arena and Morumbis. Therefore, any refusal to allow the 4,000 tickets requested by Palmeiras would be related to the force’s security guidelines. The information about Palmeiras’ request was reported by Flávio Latif, also on UOL Channel. According to the reporter, the club sent an official letter to the Military Police precisely to try to adjust the allocation to Conmebol regulations. The organization requires at least 4,000 tickets to be made available to visiting fans in Libertadores matches. The decision on the number that will be allocated to Fluminense supporters at Nubank Parque, therefore, now depends on the position of the Military Police. PVC also explained that the decision in São Paulo will affect the organization of the first leg at the Maracanã because of the principle of reciprocity between the fan bases. If the Military Police authorizes only 2,000 visiting fans for the second leg, the tendency, according to the journalist, is for the same number to be considered for the match in Rio. “So, if there are 2,000 in São Paulo, there will be 2,000 in Rio,” PVC added.
