Sport confirm Flamengo match at Arena Pernambuco, no home sale | OneFootball

Sport announced on Thursday that the postponed match against Flamengo, valid for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship, will be held at the Arena de Pernambuco on November 13, without constituting the sale of the home advantage.

The agreement, made with a company interested in the game's revenue, includes the club's participation in the match's operation and in setting ticket prices, guaranteeing a record net revenue of R$ 3 million, the highest ever recorded by Pernambuco football.

According to Sport, the decision for the stadium was made due to the advantageous nature of the proposal, which maintains the experience for the red-black fans.

“At no point did we consider selling the home advantage or moving the match out of Pernambuco. The choice of the Arena was made exclusively due to the unprecedented and highly advantageous financial proposal, while ensuring the presence of our members and fans in general,” the club stated in a note.

The agreement also ensures measures to preserve the fans' experience: “Participation in the game's operation, respect for the traditional sectorization of the Arena, guarantee of check-ins for members, and participation in setting ticket prices,” added Sport.

The club also highlighted that it had already faced Flamengo at the Arena on four occasions (2014, 2015, 2016, and 2021) and that other major national clubs have also played at the stadium: “We remain attentive to market movements to use the stadium on a one-off basis, whenever it represents sporting and financial advantages, preserving the identity and interests of our fans,” it concluded.
