"Cauldron guaranteed": Vasco reveal rival's ticket allocation, surprise | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama will have a gigantic advantage in the stands for the second match of the Copa do Brasil final. The board has set the ticket allocation for the Corinthians fans at the Maracanã, and the number confirms that the stadium will be a true sea of Vasco supporters. According to journalist Luis Fabiani from Rádio Bandeirantes, the São Paulo team will be entitled to only 3,000 tickets.

Vasco Fans' Pressure Atmosphere

This amount represents about 4% of the stadium's total capacity, ensuring a fully charged atmosphere in favor of Vasco. The decision follows the logic of reciprocity, common in finals of this scale, where the home club seeks to minimize the opponent’s presence to maximize local support.

With almost 67,000 seats occupied by Vasco fans (considering the usable capacity), the Maracanã promises to pulse like never before next Sunday (21). The strategy is clear: turn the “Biggest in the World” into an extension of São Januário, leaving the rival isolated in a small section.

The Impact on the First Leg

The news, however, has a downside for fans planning to go to São Paulo. According to the profile Estagiário do Vasco, the tendency is for Corinthians to apply the same percentage for this Wednesday’s (17th) match.

Since the Neo Química Arena has a smaller capacity, 4% would correspond to approximately 1,800 tickets for Vasco fans. In other words, the battle for tickets for the first leg will be insane, with a very limited supply for the huge demand from fans wanting to invade Itaquera.
