The Flamengo x América game, which was to be played at Maracanã, was transferred to the Engenhão field.

This change of location was imposed by the Military Police, who claim they lack the personnel to provide security for the samba school parade and soccer matches at Maracanã on the same day.

But Flamengo holds home-field control over the game. As with any other match, if disorder or damage occurs at the stadium, Flamengo will be held liable, with the loss of home-field control or the need to play matches behind closed doors, without fans in attendance, in addition to being liable for any material damages.

So, be very careful. We won't give our opponents an advantage. We're counting on your help.
