CBF changed the date of the derby between Fluminense and Flamengo, valid for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The match, which was initially scheduled for Saturday, was moved to this Sunday at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), with the venue remaining the Maracanã.

The change came after Rubro-Negro faced logistical problems on the way back from Cusco, where they played in the Libertadores.

Flamengo dealt with a delay in returning to Rio de Janeiro after the match against Cusco in Peru for the Libertadores.

The delegation was not authorized to fly on the same night as the match, had to make stopovers, and only landed in Brazil on Thursday night.

As the home team for the match, Fluminense was consulted and agreed to the postponement, something that enraged Tricolor fans on social media and sparked debate.
