Attention, fans of Vasco! It was reported that Vasco da Gama presented a 32-page manifestation to the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro and asked the judge Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto to reconsider the ruling that suspended the authorization to use Maracanã for the semifinal of the Copa Sul-Americana against Boca Juniors, scheduled for October 20. According to the publication, the club pointed out the extension, by CONMEBOL, until October 13, at noon, of the deadline to confirm the stadium. It also questioned the writ of security from the conceding company Fla-Flu, invoked the priority of official football games provided for in the concession agreement, and cited assessments from the Military Police and statements from the Public Ministry regarding security and logistics. Vasco acknowledged that Estádio Nilton Santos could host the match but argued that this did not justify preventing the use of Maracanã. The publication added that the club requested the restoration of the decision by judge Marco Antônio Ibrahim, from October 9, which had authorized the game in Maracanã, and contested the adequacy of the writ of security from the conceding company. The request still depended on a new court decision, the profile reported. #Vasco #CopaSulAmericana #Maracanã (translated)

The Planet of Football reported that a decision by Judge Suely Lopes Magalhães suspended the injunction that required the Fla-Flu Consortium to release Maracanã for Vasco vs. Boca Juniors, for the semifinal of the South American Cup. According to the publication, the legal dispute continued. The judge reportedly understood that Marco Antônio Ibrahim could not alone review the decision of the rapporteur Alexandre de Carvalho Mesquita and that the appeal should be analyzed by the rapporteur himself or by a panel. She also reportedly pointed out the risk of having three rival fan bases in the same area, as Flamengo vs. Botafogo, for basketball, would be held that evening at Maracanãzinho. According to the report, Suely cited a report from BEPE that deemed Nilton Santos suitable to host the match and stated that the police's preference for Maracanã did not make its use indispensable for safety. The decision, the publication added, did not determine whether Vasco had the right to the stadium nor whether the consortium's refusal was legitimate. The writ of security would be forwarded to rapporteur Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto, and the decision would be submitted to the Special Body of TJ-RJ. The publication attributed the information to the newspaper O Globo. #Maracanã #Vasco #Justiça (translated)

The Planeta do Futebol profile reported that BEPE considered São Januário inadequate to host Vasco x Boca Juniors, citing difficulties in separating the fans, controlling the visitors, and organizing access. According to the profile, the battalion pointed to Maracanã as the most suitable option. Vasco needed to indicate the stadium to Conmebol by Saturday. The Public Ministry of Rio recommended the release of Maracanã and suggested to Governor Ricardo Couto an intervention to make the match possible, the profile wrote. The consultation of the Fla-Flu Consortium with BEPE regarding Nilton Santos concluded that the stadium was suitable, although the battalion maintained a preference for Maracanã. The profile emphasized that Vasco had not made this inquiry. São Januário received positive opinions from the Fire Department and the City Hall, but its chances of being released were small, according to the publication. The profile added that Pedrinho would continue trying to obtain Maracanã through the Justice system, with São Januário as a backup plan. Nilton Santos was the plan C: Vasco had not yet officially approached Botafogo, although Pedrinho had already sought information about the stadium. #Vasco #BocaJuniors #Maracanã (translated)
