FERJ set date for Carioca final, Flamengo near securing spot | OneFootball

Flamengo Expected to Secure Spot in Carioca Final This Monday (02)

The Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) has set the date and time for the final of the Campeonato Carioca. It will take place next Sunday (08) at 6 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. It's important to note that the match will be a single game.

The information was announced by TV Globo during the broadcast of Fluminense and Vasco, which is happening this Sunday (01), for the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca. On the other side of the bracket are Flamengo and Madureira.

Having won the first leg 3-0, Flamengo is close to securing a spot in the final of the Campeonato Carioca. The return match will be this Monday (02) at 9 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. Unlike the grand final, which is a single match, the semi-final consists of two matches.

WHY WILL THE GAME BE ON SUNDAY AT 6 PM, AFTER ALL?

At the start of this year, Globo 'abandoned' the traditional football time slot on Sundays due to the heat. Thus, the broadcaster now prefers matches at 6 PM instead of 4 PM. As the holder of the competition's broadcasting rights, the channel has the decision-making power.

Besides Globo, the final of the Campeonato Carioca will be broadcast by GETV on YouTube. However, the best and most Flamengo-focused coverage is by Coluna do Fla, which will be at Maracanã with all the information on the grand final of the competition.
