Court overturns Flamengo fan ban before Palmeiras clash | OneFootball

Flamengo’s Torcida Jovem had been punished for unrest in a derby against Vasco

The Fifth Chamber of Private Law of the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice (TJ-RJ) overturned, this Friday (22), the two-year suspension of Flamengo’s Torcida Jovem. However, the supporters’ group still does not know whether it will be allowed to attend the match against Palmeiras on Saturday (23).

Judge Cintia Santarém Cardinali, the rapporteur in the case, found the defense’s appeal valid, which argued that it was impossible to impose a new suspension period in the same court of original jurisdiction. That is because the group had already served a three-year punishment.

Is Flamengo’s Torcida Jovem cleared?

It is still unclear, however, whether its members will already be allowed to attend this Saturday’s match (23) between Flamengo and Palmeiras at the Maracanã. Kickoff is at 9 pm (Brasília time), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão.

Why did Torcida Jovem serve a three-year suspension?

The supporters’ association served a three-year sanction (imposed in September 2021) due to the ongoing involvement of members in episodes of violence, unrest and vandalism. The main record that led to the decision included serious clashes in 2015, in matches against Macaé and Botafogo.

And why was the organized supporters’ group punished with 2 years?

The new two-year suspension is related to a homicide on September 11, 2025. On that occasion, a Vasco supporter (Rodrigo José da Silva Sant’anna) died in an ambush in Rio’s North Zone.

Where to watch Flamengo vs Palmeiras?

Live from the Maracanã, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the clash through YouTube, the website and social media. The match broadcast, however, will be on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
