Vasco see record surge in members after reaching Copa do Brasil final | OneFootball

Qualifying for the Copa do Brasil final has given Vasco’s membership program a significant boost. In just one day, the club gained around 15,000 new members and surpassed the 75,000-member mark ahead of the first leg of the final against Corinthians, this Wednesday (17), at 9:30 p.m., at Neo Química Arena.

Before the first leg of the semifinal against Fluminense a week ago, the Cruzmaltino had approximately 55,000 members. In seven days, more than 20,000 fans joined the program, representing an increase of almost 40% during this period.

This surge is directly linked to the high demand for tickets for the second leg of the final, which will be played on Sunday at 6 p.m. at Maracanã. Additionally, the club’s good run and return to a national final after 14 years have contributed to the fans’ engagement.

On the 10th, the eve of the semifinal, Vasco had exactly 55,237 members. By the early hours of this Wednesday, the number had surpassed 76,000 affiliates. Just after the announcement of ticket sales for the final, the club saw an increase of over 15,000 new members, jumping from 60,000 to 75,000 in just a few hours.

Last Monday, Vasco used the Sócio Gigante program’s social media to call on fans to join, highlighting the benefits of the higher-tier plans, which guarantee priority in ticket purchases, including early access to the first waves of sales.

According to the membership ranking released by ge in July, Vasco was only in 12th place among Brazilian clubs, with around 44,000 members. With the current 76,000, the club would now reach eighth place in the ranking.
