Saga over: Fluminense and Palmeiras settle on 4,000 away fans | OneFootball

Fluminense and Palmeiras have reached an agreement on the ticket allocation for visiting fans in the two Libertadores semifinal matches. A total of 4,000 tickets will be made available to each set of supporters, as established in Conmebol regulations. The decision came after a series of talks involving the clubs and security authorities. For the second leg, at Nubank Parque in São Paulo, official approval still depends on the state’s Public Security Department. The Fire Department has already given the green light, while authorization from the Riot Police Battalion is still expected. Initially, Palmeiras had indicated that it would make only 2,000 tickets available to Fluminense fans due to security concerns. Later, it began seeking approval for the full allocation and even requested 10% of the Maracanã’s capacity for Palmeiras supporters in the first leg — around 7,000 seats. Fluminense did not accept the request and maintained its position of providing the allocation set out in the regulations. With the agreement, it was decided that there will be 4,000 tickets for visiting fans at both the Maracanã and Nubank Parque. In the first leg, Fluminense has already agreed with BEPE on making the maximum allocation available to visiting fans. To ensure safety, the club will be responsible for installing a protective screen and metal barriers to separate the section designated for Palmeiras supporters from the other areas of the stadium. Fluminense and Palmeiras will face each other on October 14 and 21. The first match will be at the Maracanã, with Fluminense as the home side, while the place in the final will be decided at Nubank Parque in São Paulo.
