What measure did the Rio de Janeiro City Hall adopt for Racing (ARG) fans?


Flamengo and Racing begin this Wednesday (22) the series of matches valid for the semifinals of the Libertadores. Knowing the number of fans of the Argentine team who came to Rio de Janeiro, the Rio de Janeiro City Hall prepared a special plan.

In order to maintain organization before the first 'decision', the City Hall of Rio placed the Terreirão do Samba as the gathering point for Racing fans. The location is situated in the city center.

It is important to emphasize that this measure was taken due to the number of tickets that Racing fans purchased for the match. In total, about 4,000 tickets were on sale and were sold out.

WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED ATTENDANCE FOR THE FLAMENGO X RACING GAME?

The Maracanã will once again be packed. This is because, in addition to the four thousand Argentinians, the Rubro-Negra Nation did their part and sold out all the tickets. Thus, more than 70,000 fans are expected at the match between Flamengo and Racing.

HOW IS FLAMENGO PREPARING BEFORE THE GAME AGAINST RACING?

Coach Filipe Luís has the full squad available for the game against Racing. The only absentee is Everton Cebolinha, who is recovering from a hip injury. On the other hand, Léo Ortiz, who suffered a right ankle injury last Sunday (19), is free from pain and is included in the squad.

WHEN IS THE NEXT FLAMENGO X RACING GAME FOR THE LIBERTADORES?

The match between Flamengo and Racing takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (22), at the Maracanã. The Coluna do Fla, as usual, shows the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), GETV (YouTube), and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the duel.
