Vasco's position was revealed by the club's football director, Admar Lopes, during an interview after the draw for the home advantage, at an event this Wednesday (22) at the CBF headquarters.

“We will talk with the public authorities and see what they decide. At this moment, we have no decision. It is up to them, and we will respect whatever is decided by the public authorities,” stated the director.

The necessary authorization for the classic to be held at the Vasco stadium must come from the Special Group for Policing in Stadiums (GEPE), which will assess the security and logistics conditions of the stadium.

The semifinal matches will be played on December 10 and 14. In the first match, the home advantage is with Vasco. Therefore, Fluminense theoretically decides at home.
