Grêmio expect their biggest crowd of the year at the Arena on Thursday, when the Copa do Brasil quarter-final Gre-Nal kicks off at 20:00. The match will determine a semi-finalist.

According to Globo.com, the club projects an attendance between 52,000 and 56,000 for the derby.

Only the Gold Premium Sul section still has tickets available, priced at R$ 490 each. The area includes food and non-alcoholic drinks, musical attractions, and appearances by former players and mascots.

The largest crowd at the Arena in 2026 was also for a Gre-Nal. The first leg of the Gauchão final on 1 March drew 50,166.

Grêmio have recorded a rise in average attendances during the first half of this year.

The Arena’s official attendance record is 55,337, set in the 2016 Copa do Brasil final against Atlético-MG.
