CBF changes Palmeiras v Cruzeiro venue in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has confirmed a change of venue for the match between Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game, scheduled for May 16 at 9:00 p.m. (Brasília time), will be played at Arena Barueri, in Barueri, instead of Allianz Parque.

According to the organization, the change was made at the request of Verdão, which will not be able to use its stadium on that date. Allianz Parque will be occupied by a Korn concert.

A frequent change in 2026

This will be the 11th time this season that Palmeiras will host a match away from home — making 2026 the year with the most matches away from Allianz since the arena was built. On all occasions, Arena Barueri was the chosen stadium.

The high number of matches away from Allianz Parque is due to the period when the stadium was closed for the replacement of its synthetic turf. The renovation was completed in March, allowing the team to return to the venue.

Even away from its main stadium, Palmeiras has been performing well. The team is unbeaten in 12 matches at Arena Barueri, with 11 wins and one draw.

During that stretch, the team scored 25 goals and conceded only six. The only draw was a 1-1 result against Guarani.
