Flamengo and Cruzeiro set for Libertadores last-16 first leg at Mineirão | OneFootball

Flamengo visit Cruzeiro on Wednesday 12 for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores last 16 at the Mineirão, with a large attendance anticipated.

Itatiaia reports that the stadium’s management expect around 60,000 supporters. Flamengo fans could buy tickets at R$ 100 full price or R$ 50 half, while Cruzeiro’s started from R$ 40.

Cruzeiro’s biggest home crowd this season in the Libertadores came in the win over Boca Juniors (ARG), when 59,126 attended. That match also generated the highest revenue of the year. There is a strong chance the Flamengo tie could set the stadium’s 2026 season mark in Belo Horizonte.

Mineirão’s official capacity in its current set-up is about 61,927, though this varies by event and safety certification, reaching roughly 62,000 seats.

The tie will be settled over two Wednesdays, 12 and 19, both at 21:30 Brasília time. The return is at the Maracanã. The winners will face Tolima (COL) or Independiente del Valle (EQU).
