In Barueri, Palmeiras begin a run of long trips after FIFA break | OneFootball

Palmeiras begin a stretch of away games after the FIFA international break, with long trips and a change of stadium in the upcoming matches. The first commitment will be this Thursday (2), against Grêmio, at Arena Barueri, in the São Paulo metropolitan area. The match will not be at Allianz Parque because the stadium is being prepared for the Monsters of Rock event stage setup.

Trip to the Northeast

Next, the team led by Abel Ferreira travels to Salvador to face Bahia on Sunday (5), at Arena Fonte Nova, also for the Brasileirão.

This will be one of Palmeiras’ longest trips in the Brazilian Championship — one of the few to the Northeast, along with the clash against Vitória, also in the Bahia state capital.

Libertadores with a stadium change

After the Brasileirão match, Verdão continues on to Colombia, where they will make their Libertadores debut against Junior Barranquilla on Wednesday (8), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

Initially, the match would be played at Estadio Metropolitano in Barranquilla, but the venue is undergoing expansion works for the Copa Sudamericana final. Because of this, the game is expected to be moved to Estadio Jaime Morón León, in Cartagena, which has a capacity of around 17,000 fans.

The change of city does not reduce the toll of the trip. Palmeiras will face a journey of more than 5,000 kilometers to Colombia.

The next match in São Paulo will be against Corinthians, on January 12 (Sunday), at Neo Química Arena. At Allianz Parque, the next clash will only be on April 16 (Thursday), against Sporting Cristal-PER, for the second round of the Libertadores.
