São Paulo hit Casares era low crowd in Copa do Brasil loss to Ceará | OneFootball

São Paulo had the worst attendance of the "Casares Era" this Monday, in the 1-0 defeat to Ceará at Morumbis, during the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Only 12,314 fans were present in the stands of Morumbis to watch the match, the first after the elimination in the Libertadores quarterfinals against LDU.

Julio Casares took over the presidency of São Paulo in 2021. At the time, due to the new coronavirus pandemic, the games were held behind closed doors and later with only 30% capacity. Therefore, on two occasions, the attendance at Morumbis was lower than this Monday.

Under normal conditions, Morumbis has not had an attendance lower than this Monday since 2019, when Leco was president of São Paulo. According to information from Anotações Tricolores, in the 1-0 victory over Vasco, almost five years ago, 11,970 fans were in the stadium stands.

With just over 12,000 fans against Ceará, São Paulo also ended a streak of 82 matches with more than 20,000 people in the stands. In recent years, Tricolor has been known for having one of the highest average attendances in the country.

São Paulo's next home game will be the classic against Palmeiras, next Sunday, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time). Before that, Tricolor visits Ceará on Thursday, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão. Both matches are valid for the Brazilian Championship.
