Why São Paulo v Santos was postponed and when Tricolor play again? | OneFootball

São Paulo are in a rare week without matches. The club took advantage of it to give the squad time off on the first two days of the week and returned to training at the Barra Funda training center on Wednesday afternoon (29).

And that will be the schedule for the rest of the week until Sunday (2/8), when Tricolor will get another break from activities. This is due to the team’s postponed match from the 21st round of the Brasileirão.

The round, which began this Wednesday, had the clásico between São Paulo and Santos scheduled, but it was postponed because of the coastal rival’s Copa Sudamericana commitment.

Santos’ opponent played the second leg of the Sudamericana playoff against UCV on Tuesday (28), with Peixe winning 4-2 and securing qualification for the continental tournament’s round of 16.

As a result, São Paulo saw their late-July fixture postponed, with no date or venue yet set by the CBF. And over the weekend, Dorival Júnior’s team will also not take the field.

The dates in the opening days of August are already reserved for Copa do Brasil round-of-16 matches, a competition in which Tricolor have already been eliminated after falling to Juventude back in the fifth round of the knockout tournament.

With so many obstacles, São Paulo will only play again on the 8th, a Saturday, away to Grêmio at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

The time away from action also gives the club a chance to get Morumbi ready after hosting another series of three concerts. The stadium is now undergoing the installation of a new pitch. Tricolor’s reunion with the fans at home is scheduled for August 15 against Coritiba, in a match from the 23rd round of the Brasileirão.
