Military Police green-light date change for Flamengo v Fluminense | OneFootball

Flamengo and Fluminense play in the 11th round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo asked the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to change the date of the match against Fluminense from Saturday (11) to Sunday (12). The Military Police were consulted and gave the green light regarding the change.

According to information from GE, a document requesting the postponement reached the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation, which forwarded it to the CBF. As a result, FERJ contacted the Military Police to address security issues and received a positive response for the match to be held on a new date.

Even so, it is worth noting that the CBF has not yet commented on the date change for the match between Flamengo and Fluminense. Therefore, the kickoff time would remain at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.

IS THERE ANY RISK IN PLAYING ON SUNDAY?

At the moment, the CBF has scheduled Botafogo’s match against Coritiba at Nilton Santos Stadium for Sunday (12). The game kicks off at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). That means the three sets of fans would be moving around the city of Rio de Janeiro just a few hours apart.

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE?

The postponement request comes after a delay in the flight that brought Flamengo back from Peru to Rio de Janeiro this Thursday (09), after the Copa Libertadores match. There was about a 1 hour and 30 minute wait beyond what had already been planned, which reduced the preparation time for the derby.

WHEN IS THE MATCH?

For now, the match between Flamengo and Fluminense remains scheduled for Saturday (11), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the match live from the stadium, with reports by Rodrigo Lima.
