Nubank Parque confirmed for Palmeiras v Fluminense, away end in flux

After a meeting with the clubs, Conmebol confirmed Nubank Parque as the venue for the second leg between Palmeiras and Fluminense in the Libertadores semifinal. The match is scheduled for October 21. Despite the stadium being confirmed, adjustments are still needed in the section designated for Fluminense fans.

Capacity for away supporters is the main issue under discussion. The competition rules require 4,000 tickets to be made available to the visiting fans, and Palmeiras is working to adapt the stadium structure to accommodate the number of Fluminense supporters required by Conmebol.

In an interview with ESPN, Lieutenant Colonel Valdinei Arcanio da Silva, of the Military Police, explained which security measures were requested for the match.

We pointed out the need to address some structural issues, such as the protective netting, because the away section is on the upper tier, and the netting is important to contain any objects that may be thrown downward. There is also the issue of internal segregation. Other structures also need to be installed in the gate area and outside the stadium. The third point we requested is an operational plan: how Palmeiras will receive the fans, including guidance, turnstiles, and biometric screening.

Palmeiras seeks to expand Fluminense section

Palmeiras will hold another meeting with the Military Police to define the necessary adjustments to the stadium. The measures include installing protective structures, adjusting segregation areas, and defining the procedure for fans entering the stadium.

The São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office has already approved the expansion of the space designated for away supporters. Now, the clearance depends on evaluations by the authorities responsible for security, including the Military Police and the Fire Department.

Before deciding the spot away from home, however, Fluminense will host Palmeiras at the Maracanã. The first semifinal match is scheduled for October 14 in Rio de Janeiro. Whoever advances over the 180 minutes will secure a place in the Libertadores final.
