Without the Maracana, under construction, Fla-Flu was confirmed to be in the Federal District last Tuesday. The first Carioca Classic of the year is scheduled for February 6, 4pm, for the fourth round of the Guanabara Cup.

In connection with the report, Governor Ibanés Rocha was brief on the subject of fans being present at the match. When asked if Fla-Flu would be held without an audience, he only answered: “Yes.”

In addition to the classic carioca, another important match for Brasilia has been confirmed for February. This Wednesday, the FFDF and Arena BSB – the franchisee that runs Mané Garrincha -, Supercopa do Brasil contract confirmed on the field. The match between Atlético MG and Flamengo is scheduled to take place on February 20.

Currently, there are no restrictions on holding sporting events with fans in DF. Brasilia, for example, had an audience in the stands for the first two rounds, which were held last week. NBB and Volleyball Superliga matches are also held with fans in town.

But with the governor’s statement, everything indicates that a new ordinance should be published in the coming days, resuming the ban on fans in stadiums in the Federal District.
