Atlético Mineiro to admit fans for Corinthians’ women’s Brasileiro opener after U-turn | OneFootball

Atlético Mineiro have reversed their decision and will admit supporters for Friday 13 February’s Brasileiro Feminino opener against Corinthians at Arena MRV, kick-off 21:00.

The fixture had been slated for behind closed doors because of operational and security logistics during Carnival. The club said in a statement that, following an operational review and stressing its commitment to the women’s game, the match will now be played with fans.

Ticket sales open at 11:00 on Thursday at ingressos.galonaveia.com.br, including an allocation for away supporters. Prices are R$ 50 for full and R$ 25 for half. Entry to the stadium will be via facial recognition only, with registration completed on the same site.

Corinthians head to Belo Horizonte after back-to-back runners-up finishes this season. In London, the Brabas finished second at the Copa das Campeãs, Fifa’s Club World Cup, against Arsenal. On Sunday they lost on penalties to Palmeiras in the Supercopa do Brasil.

Corinthians’ women have won the past six editions of the national league, seven titles in total.
