Raulino de Oliveira to Host Flamengo vs Portuguesa Match

The Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) has confirmed that Flamengo will make their debut in the Carioca at Raulino de Oliveira. However, the stadium, located in Volta Redonda, still needs a security certificate.

In summary, the Military Police (PM) needs to issue a security certificate for the Flamengo vs Portuguesa match to take place at Raulino de Oliveira. Despite this, FERJ has already confirmed the stadium as the venue for the match.

Why won’t the match be at Maracanã?

It is worth noting that the Flamengo vs Portuguesa match will not be held at Maracanã because the stadium is undergoing turf revitalization. In the meantime, the ‘Temple of Football’ is expected to be available from the third round of the Carioca, on January 21, when Flamengo and Vasco face off.

What are the details of the match?

Finally, next Sunday (11), Flamengo will play against Portuguesa in a match brought forward from the fifth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The teams will face each other starting at 6pm (Brasilia time), at Raulino de Oliveira, in Volta Redonda.

Initially, the match between Flamengo and Portuguesa was scheduled for January 31. However, FERJ had to change the date due to the Supercopa do Brasil between Fla and Corinthians on February 1.
