The Pedrosa Channel reported that Luis Felipe Salomão, president of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), rejected the request from Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. this Thursday (15) to suspend the decision that determined the match between Vasco and Boca Juniors to be held at the Maracanã on October 20 at 9:30 PM. According to the channel, the court's order for the match to take place at the stadium remained valid. According to the published summary, Salomão considered that the managing company of the complex did not have standing to appeal through a request for suspension of security, an instrument that, according to him, was intended to protect collective interests. The minister assessed that the case involved private interests related to the exploitation of the Maracanã and that there was no demonstration of public interest that justified the measure. The channel reported that the manager claimed wear of the pitch, concentration of games within a short interval, and security risks due to the gathering of fans, as Flamengo and Botafogo would also be playing a basketball game at the Maracanãzinho. However, Salomão understood that no concrete evidence was presented of a serious threat to public order or safety. He also noted that the questioned decision already anticipated moving the basketball event to avoid overlapping audiences. According to the Pedrosa Channel, Salomão concluded that he did not consider the request as he understood it did not meet the requirements to be analyzed through this avenue. The minister added that any eventual questions regarding the actions of the judges should be presented through the appropriate appeals in the Court of Justice of Rio. The channel emphasized that the decision maintained the existing authorization but did not settle the dispute over the use of the stadium. #STJ #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)

Attention, Vasco fans! It was reported that the President of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), Minister Luis Felipe Salomão, did not grant, on Thursday (15), the request from Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. to suspend the decision that authorized Vasco x Boca Juniors at Maracanã on October 20 at 9:30 PM for the semifinal of the Copa Sul-Americana. According to the report, Salomão considered that the concessionaire, constituted by Flamengo and Fluminense, did not have the legitimacy to appeal to this legal instrument, as it is a private company and does not act as a delegate of public service. The minister also understood that the choice of the stadium did not constitute a primary public interest that would justify the exceptional request. The publication stated that Fla-Flu Serviços had claimed risks related to the meeting of the fans, the operation of the stadium, the pitch, and the need for a minimum interval of 72 hours between matches. According to the report, Salomão concluded that the company did not prove a serious threat to public order, security, or the economy. He also pointed out that the transfer of the basketball game between Flamengo and Botafogo alleviated some of the concerns. Furthermore, according to Attention, Vasco fans!, the minister considered that potential damage to the pitch would not constitute serious harm to public assets nor justify the suspension. The publication added that he evaluated that the request could not substitute for a judicial appeal and that any questioning regarding the actions of judges from the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro should follow the appropriate appeal channels. The decision maintained the authorization for the match at Maracanã without suspension by the STJ. The publication described the outcome as a procedural victory for Vasco but noted that it did not end all possibilities for judicial contestation. It also informed that the decision concerning Safety Suspension No. 3,678/RJ was signed at 12:49 PM on October 15, 2026. #Vasco #BocaJuniors #Maracanã (translated)

The judge also considered that the preservation of the field should not take precedence over public safety and determined the change of location or time of the basketball game between Flamengo and Botafogo, scheduled for the same day at Maracanãzinho.

According to the author, the magistrate recorded that the entity had set the new deadline for selecting the stadium as October 13 at 12 PM, Brasília time.

newscolina reported that the judge Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto, from the Special Body of TJRJ, determined that the Flamengo x Botafogo match, scheduled for Maracanãzinho on the same day as Vasco x Boca Juniors, be transferred or rescheduled to a time that does not coincide with the flow of football fans.

The Cruzmaltino Podcast reported that the judge Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto, from the Special Body of the TJRJ, reinstated the authorization for Vasco to face Boca Juniors at Maracanã on October 20 at 9:30 PM. According to the report, the decision was signed on Tuesday (13th) at 7:11 AM, and determined that Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. would make the stadium available. The podcast stated that the judge reconsidered a previous ruling that had suspended the authorization. Among the reasons, he pointed out that the prior decision was based on an outdated version of the Internal Regulations of the Court, without considering a change approved in September. The rule, according to the report, allowed the president of the Chamber to review urgent requests when the rapporteur was absent. Since the original rapporteur was on vacation and there was a deadline to inform Conmebol about the stadium, the judge recognized the competence of the president of the 23rd Chamber to grant the authorization. The Cruzmaltino Podcast also reported that public safety weighed into the decision. The magistrate reportedly considered favorable technical assessments regarding Maracanã and the potential impacts of a stadium change on policing, access, fan separation, the press, and broadcasting. The document recorded, based on information presented by Vasco, the sale of 46,014 tickets. According to the podcast, the judge assessed that any material damages to the concessionaire could be compensated, while the risks to collective safety would be harder to repair. Regarding Conmebol's deadline, the report stated that the judge rejected the argument that the request had lost its purpose. The decision reportedly noted that the initial communication occurred within the deadline, and that, according to Vasco, the entity granted a new deadline: that same day at noon. The podcast added that Flamengo x Botafogo, scheduled to take place at Maracanãzinho on the same date, should be transferred or rescheduled for a time that did not coincide with the flow of fans from the football match. It also reported that the process would continue in the Special Body, with consideration expected at the first in-person session the day before the match. #Vasco #Maracanã #Justiça (translated)

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)
