Serie B side uses same argument as Flamengo to seek postponement | OneFootball

Avaí had logistical problems on the way to Recife

Avaí asked the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to postpone the match against Sport from Saturday (11) to Sunday (12). The club from Santa Catarina used the same argument as Flamengo, which also faced logistical problems before its match.

Initially, Avaí only requested that the game be moved to the following day. However, the CBF has not yet responded to the club from Santa Catarina regarding the postponement of the match, which is valid for the fourth round of the Série B of the Brazilian Championship.

WHAT IS AVAÍ’S ARGUMENT?

Last Wednesday (08), Avaí took the field against Chapecoense in the Copa Sul-Sudeste, away from home. The delegation had arranged its return with departure scheduled from Chapecó on the morning of last Thursday (09), including a connection in São Paulo before arriving in Recife.

That way, Avaí’s plan did not go as expected. On the very first leg of the trip, a problem with the flight to Guarulhos disrupted the rest of the journey. As a result, the Santa Catarina team asked the CBF to postpone the match.

WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo’s situation is similar to Avaí’s. Mengo had problems returning from Peru to Brazil after the match against Cusco (PER) on Wednesday (08). Because of this, the Rubro-Negro club asked the CBF to postpone the game against Fluminense from Saturday (11) to Sunday (12).

After an agreement between the CBF, Fluminense, Flamengo and the Military Police, the game’s date and kickoff time were changed. As a result, the match will now be played on Sunday (12) at 6 pm (Brasília time), in a game valid for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship.
