Police inspect Nubank Parque as Palmeiras await steps on bigger away end for Fluminense Libertadores semi-final | OneFootball

Palmeiras underwent an initial Military Police inspection at Nubank Parque on Tuesday over a possible increase to the away allocation for the Libertadores semi-final second leg against Fluminense.

According to Nosso Palestra, the check formed the first phase of a process that will require further steps before any clearance. The return leg is scheduled for 21 October at 21:30 Brasília time at Nubank Parque.

Fluminense have requested roughly 4,000 tickets for their fans, the amount set out in the competition regulations for semi-finals.

The debate stems from a current restriction in São Paulo, where away sections operate below that threshold under a Military Police directive.

The Public Prosecutor's Office has recommended authorising a larger away section if all safety and operational demands from the competent authorities are met, noting no significant history of off-pitch rivalry between the sets of supporters.

Palmeiras are awaiting further assessments by security bodies, the Fire Department and the club before any decision on releasing the requested allocation. The expectation, for now, is that the issue will be resolved so the club can meet Conmebol rules.
