The classic match between Fluminense and Botafogo, part of the Brazilian Women’s Championship, was postponed due to strong wind warnings issued by Rio de Janeiro’s Civil Defense.

The match was scheduled for this Friday (7) at 9:30 p.m. at Nilton Santos Stadium, but it has been rescheduled for Monday (10) at 6 p.m. at the same venue.

The change was made as a preventive measure in light of the weather conditions forecast for the state capital, prioritizing the safety of the athletes, coaching staffs, professionals involved in organizing the event, and fans.

With the change, Fluminense will have a few more days to prepare before returning to the field in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. The match will still be played at Nilton Santos Stadium, with only the date and time changed.
