With sectors closed, the Maracanã enjoyed a calm atmosphere during the broadcast of the Copa Libertadores final between Flamengo and Palmeiras.
Although Flamengo and Palmeiras clinched the Copa Libertadores title in Lima, Peru, the Maracana atmosphere in Rio de Janeiro also witnessed a decisive atmosphere. After all, the stadium hosted the Florida Festival this Saturday (29), with the Rubro Negro vs. Verdão match broadcast. In addition, the ceremony also included musical performances.
However, unlike the other two Copa Libertadores finals Flamengo played in, in 2019 and 2022, this time the Maracanã was far from its maximum capacity. About 30,000 tickets were sold in advance for Fla Fest.
Around the stadium, before the ball rolled, the atmosphere was calm, with no large crowds or queues to enter the stadium. However, the Maracanã became a little more crowded shortly before the match started. The upper eastern sector and part of the southern sector were closed.
Inside the stadium, Flamengo installed ten screens on the pitch, in addition to the four screens already installed in the Maracana, to enable fans to follow the match. Before the match, DJs Papatinho, Shadow and Ramonzin, as well as MC Maneirinho, entertained fans in red and black.
Money changers all over the Maracanã
As always, brokers were also present around the Maracanã. In fact, tickets sell for up to R$200. At the official box office, online only, tickets cost from R$80 to R$600 (full). However, Flamingo members are entitled to discounts.
Those throwing the party were also street vendors selling Flamengo Championship banners. Someone even went on marketing announcing that after a potential red and black title, the tracks became more expensive: from R$20 to R$50.
