According to the publication, the document was filed on Saturday (the 10th) and requested that the attempt by the concessionaire Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. to suspend the decision through a writ of security be rejected. The publication reported that the club argued that the court decision took into account statements from public security agencies and the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rio de Janeiro. According to Vasco, the Military Police pointed to Maracanã as the preferred alternative, considering the infrastructure, urban mobility, fan organization, and access control. The club also questioned, according to the publication, the criteria used by the concessionaire to deny the stadium and argued that the requirements for preserving the pitch should be applied objectively and equally. The defense also stated that Conmebol had already announced Maracanã as the venue and that ticket sales were underway. By the morning of October 10, Vasco reported having sold 11,446 tickets and handed over 4,000 tickets to Boca Juniors for the visiting fans. Attention, Vasco fans! the club added that it warned of possible damages to the organization of the semifinal, to the supporters, and to the security planning if the decision were suspended.
