Allianz Parque bids farewell: Palmeiras face Santos before stadium revamp | OneFootball

The clásico between Palmeiras and Santos this Saturday (2), at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), in the Brazilian Championship, will be the last match played at the stadium under the name Allianz Parque, bringing a historic chapter for Verdão to an end.

Since the arena opened, Palmeiras have built impressive numbers at home. In 347 matches played at Allianz Parque, the team has recorded 229 wins, 69 draws, and only 49 losses. The attack has found the net 655 times, while the defense has been beaten on 250 occasions.

Santos, the opponent for the farewell, are the second team to have faced Palmeiras most often at Allianz Parque. This Saturday’s clash will be the 17th meeting between the teams at the arena. São Paulo holds another notable mark: it is the club that has suffered the most defeats to Verdão at the stadium, with 14 losses.

The stadium’s name change comes after the sale of the naming rights to Nubank. The arena’s new identity will be officially unveiled next Monday (4), and three options are under consideration: “Nubank Arena,” “Parque Nubank,” and “Nubank Parque.”

City Hall denies activation at Palmeiras stadium

Nubank’s attempt to carry out a visual activation at Palmeiras’ stadium was blocked by São Paulo’s Municipal Department of Urban Planning and Licensing, as reported by NOSSO PALESTRA.

The request called for the installation of an LED panel on the outside of Allianz Parque, with large dimensions (41 meters long by 6 meters high), alternately displaying the bank’s logo and the phrase “Nubank Parque Felipe de La Rosa,” as well as fans’ names in an interactive campaign. The equipment would be placed more than 27 meters high and facing the pool area, as part of a temporary institutional activation.

However, the project was denied for violating current municipal legislation. According to the technical opinion, the proposal breaches the Clean City Law (Municipal Law No. 14,223/2006), which prohibits the installation of illuminated electronic panels on the external facades of buildings visible from public roads, allowing this type of feature only in indoor environments. The decision also cites complementary rules, such as Decree No. 47,950/2006 and Resolution SMUL.AOC.CPPU/002/2018, reinforcing that the initiative does not comply with the city’s urban planning regulations.
