Série C prize ceremony delayed after Ponte Preta fans invade pitch | OneFootball

This Saturday, Ponte Preta won the second match of the Série C final against Londrina by 2-0 at Estádio Moisés Lucarelli in Campinas, and was crowned champion. The award ceremony, however, had to be postponed by the CBF due to the invasion of Macaca fans after the final whistle.

In a statement, the CBF explained that the presence of fans on the field made it impossible to deliver the medals to both teams and the trophy to the champion Ponte Preta. The date of the ceremony has not yet been set.

Unprecedented Achievement

With the victory over Londrina, Ponte Preta claimed its first national title in 125 years of history. Now, the team is back in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship and awaits the competition calendar to dream of a return to the elite of Brazilian football in 2027.

Despite the defeat in the final, Londrina also secured promotion to the Second Division, still in the previous phase, by leading Group A with two wins, four draws, and no losses.
