According to the Olympic Committee's requirements, selfie sticks and pointed umbrellas will not be allowed inside Arena Carioca 2 during the NBB final matches between Flamengo and Bauru. Banners and flags without poles are permitted for organized fan groups and must be affixed to the fence at the highest part of the Arena. Instruments are prohibited, as was already established for all previous matches in the championship, according to NBB regulations.

Large items, such as strollers, will be permitted in designated areas of the venue.
