Protest and empty stands: São Paulo v Ceará in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

São Paulo returns to the field this Monday to face Ceará at 8:00 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbis, for the 25th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, after being eliminated in the Libertadores quarterfinals by LDU.

After the cauldron of last Thursday, against the Ecuadorian team, São Paulo will have to deal with an empty stadium this Monday. The expectation is for a low turnout for the match against Ceará, since the fans are upset with the team after the Libertadores exit.

More than just an empty stadium, a protest in front of the main gate of Morumbis is scheduled to take place before the game. São Paulo’s main supporters’ group, Torcida Independente, has been calling on fans to show up at Morumbis and express their dissatisfaction with the board.

The protest is set to begin at 6:00 PM (Brasília time) at the main gate of Morumbis, precisely where the bus carrying the team delegation is expected to pass around 6:30 PM.

According to the supporters’ group, president Julio Casares, football director Carlos Belmonte, assistant directors Fernando Chapecó and Nelson Ferreira, executive football director Rui Costa, fitness coach Pedro Campos, and medical coordinator Dr. José Sanchez will be the main targets of the demonstration.

Among the group’s demands are transparency in financial reporting, the right to vote in presidential elections, external audits, the end of the Lifetime Council, modernization of the Barra Funda training center, and the dismissal of “incompetent council members.”
