Vasco confirm Maracanã for derby v Fluminense in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Vasco has decided that the derby against Fluminense for the Brazilian Championship will be played at Maracanã. The club’s official profile released the monthly match schedule on Wednesday morning and confirmed the stadium as the venue for the game. Until then, the location of the match had not yet been determined. The derby will take place on March 18, at 9:30 PM, as part of the seventh round of the Brasileirão.

It’s worth remembering that, in this year’s Carioca Championship semifinal, Vasco hosted the derby against Fluminense at Nilton Santos Stadium. This choice was mainly because Flamengo used Maracanã on the same day.

Since last year, Fluminense and Vasco have had an agreement that all derbies between the two — except those valid for the Carioca Championship — will be played at Maracanã, with an equal split of tickets, guaranteeing 50% of the allocation for each set of fans. The agreement is valid until the end of 2026.
