Maracanã boost: Fluminense may play 8 of 13 games at home | OneFootball

The club can play up to eight out of 13 home games in the quest for a spot in the Libertadores via G6 and for the Copa do Brasil title.

Fluminense faces the final stretch of the 2025 season with Maracanã as the main asset to achieve its two major goals: securing a spot in the G6 of the Brazilian Championship and winning the Copa do Brasil. The team has 11 games already guaranteed, a number that can rise to 13 if they reach the knockout stage final.

Out of this total, the Tricolor can play up to eight matches at home. In the Brasileirão, the team will still host Ceará, Mirassol, Flamengo, São Paulo, and Bahia at the stadium. The remaining away games are against Ceará, Cruzeiro, Palmeiras, and Grêmio.

The big asset is in the Copa do Brasil. The two semifinal games against Vasco are scheduled for Maracanã. If Fluminense advances, they will play the second leg of the final, against Cruzeiro or Corinthians, also at home.

The hunt for a spot in the Libertadores, however, begins immediately with three games considered "finals" for the team. With 44 points, the team needs approximately five wins to mathematically secure a spot in the G6. The upcoming matches are against Ceará (Wednesday, 10/29, at home), Ceará again (Sunday, 11/02, away), and Mirassol (Thursday, 11/06, at home).
