The mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, announced a half-day public holiday starting at 12pm (Brasília time) this Wednesday (17), on a day of great excitement for Carioca football. The measure aims to allow fans to follow the Intercontinental and Copa do Brasil matches more comfortably.
Flamengo faces PSG (FRA) in the Intercontinental, this Wednesday (17), at 2pm (Brasília time). The match will be played at Al Rayyan Stadium, in Qatar, and is worth the world championship title for Mengão.
On the other hand, Vasco plays against Corinthians in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final. The teams face off at 9:30pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo.
“It’s a good thing the mayor is a Vasco fan and Governor Cláudio Castro is a Flamengo fan! So that’s it: Wednesday is a half-day public holiday starting at noon. Enjoy, cheer a lot, but with responsibility and respect. Have a great week and enjoy the matches,” wrote Eduardo Paes, in a humorous tone.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Cazé TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs PSG match.
