HOW WAS THE SUSPENSION?

The punishment applied to Torcida Jovem originated in March 2023, when the Special Court of the Fan and Large Events determined the removal of four organized fan groups from Rio de Janeiro: Raça Rubro-Negra, Torcida Jovem do Flamengo, Força Jovem do Vasco and Young Flu, after episodes of violence occurred before the classic between Flamengo and Vasco, played on the 5th of that month.

The Special Battalion for Stadium Policing (Bepe-RJ) had determined a temporary suspension of 90 days for the presence of these fan groups in stadiums. However, the Justice extended the punishment, establishing the removal for five years from sporting events throughout the national territory. In other words, the group's return should occur much later than expected.

IS RAÇA RUBRO-NEGRA STILL PUNISHED?

Raça Rubro-Negra also managed to get released to return to the stands. After the decision was reviewed, the fan group was able to return to watch Flamengo's games in July, marking their first presence since the punishment in the Fla-Flu match valid for the Brazilian Championship.
