Flamengo v Madureira ticket sales flop, lowest crowd expected | OneFootball

Flamengo to Face Madureira This Monday (02) with an ‘Empty’ Maracanã

The poor moment of Flamengo, combined with the almost guaranteed spot in the final, will result in an almost empty Maracanã this Monday (02). The Rubro-Negro will face Madureira, starting at 9 PM (Brasília time), for the second leg of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal. Few tickets have been sold.

So far, only 10,000 tickets have been purchased. Tickets are available starting at R$ 15 and can be bought on the website ingressos.flamengo.com.br. Therefore, there are even tickets available for the North Sector, which is usually the first to sell out for a Flamengo game at Maracanã.

WILL THIS BE FLAMENGO'S WORST ATTENDANCE OF THE YEAR?

Considering only the main team's games, the worst attendance for Flamengo this year was precisely the first leg against Madureira. Only 22,730 people went to Maracanã to watch the 3-0 victory. Therefore, there is a high chance that this ‘negative record’ will be broken.

WHAT ARE THE REASONS KEEPING FLAMENGO FANS AWAY?

Firstly, the team's current form does not attract fans to Maracanã. After all, the team is coming off losses in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sudamericana, to Corinthians and Lanús (ARG), respectively. Additionally, fans have protested against the squad at Ninho do Urubu and also at Maracanã.

Furthermore, the match time, on a Monday at 9 PM, also weighs against fan attendance. Finally, Flamengo's comfortable position in the series, after winning the first leg 3-0, reduces the appeal for the return match against Madureira.

WHO WILL BE THE FINAL OPPONENT IN THE CAMPEONATO CARIOCA?

This Sunday (01), Fluminense secured a spot in the Campeonato Carioca final by drawing 1-1 with Vasco. Having won the first leg 1-0, the Laranjeiras team advanced to face either Flamengo or Madureira on March 8th.

Last week, Flamengo beat Madureira 3-0, so they can even lose by two goals and still face Fluminense in the final. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will keep an eye on everything and bring all the information from the final stages of the Campeonato Carioca.
