Fluminense release more tickets for Bolívar tie at Maracanã; 57,000 sold | OneFootball

Fluminense managed to increase the ticket allocation for the match against Bolívar after a meeting with public security authorities in Rio de Janeiro. With the release of an area in the North Stand, below the section reserved for the visiting fans, more Fluminense supporters will be able to attend the decisive Libertadores clash at the Maracanã.

So far, more than 57,000 tickets have already been sold for the match. The increase was seen as an effort by the board in response to the huge demand from fans. With that figure, the match already represents the eighth-highest attendance in the club’s Libertadores history.

With the newly released ticket allocation, expectations are that the game will surpass figures recorded in knockout-stage matches during the 2023 continental title run.

Fluminense’s highest attendances in Libertadores history

The fans’ mobilization is seen internally as an important factor in trying to revive the team’s campaign in the continental tournament. Fluminense currently sit in fourth place in Group C, still without a win after four matches.

To advance without depending on other results, the team coached by Luis Zubeldía need to beat Bolívar by a three-goal margin and then defeat Deportivo La Guaira in the final round of the group stage.

With that decisive stretch in mind, the club launched promotions to encourage fans to attend the Maracanã, with tickets starting at R$ 20 for the two remaining home Libertadores matches.
