São Paulo push Live Nation for year-end farewell at Morumbi | OneFootball

The São Paulo board has been working behind the scenes to hold at least one game at Morumbi, the last one they are entitled to as hosts, against Internacional on December 3rd. All of this is due to the battle for a spot in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores.

The information was initially reported by ‘ESPN‘ and confirmed by club sources to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR.

As the report initially revealed, the concrete possibility so far was that Tricolor would play all four remaining home games of the season at Vila Belmiro, due to a series of concerts taking place at Morumbi throughout November, as well as the decision to take the opportunity to replace the stadium’s turf.

Regarding the turf, the issue is actually an easy one to solve: São Paulo just needs to postpone its plans. Even with the current schedule, the club could be without Morumbi until the end of January due to the replanting of the pitch.

But behind the scenes, the fight is different. The club has asked Live Nation, the company responsible for the concerts, to dismantle the stage and structures as quickly as possible. This is to ensure that their home is available in time.

The last show scheduled for the stadium is on November 23rd, by the English band Oasis. That is, 11 days before the match against Internacional.

Regarding the condition of the pitch, there is an internal understanding that it is possible to make minor repairs to the turf if the stadium is released early by the concert promoter.
