The debt, according to the publication from Planeta do Futebol, was R$ 10.3 million.

He also stated that Grêmio had requested installment payments to CNRD, had not suffered a transfer ban, and had registered three or four players. Mota also said that the delay harmed Vitória and disrupted the championship. He claimed that Grêmio did not provide him with any updates and that they had signed five or six players during the transfer window. In comparison, he said that Internacional had received a transfer ban and could not register new players, while Grêmio, which was also fighting to avoid relegation, continued to register players.

The president of Vasco, Pedrinho, commented again on the controversy regarding the use of Maracanã.

Pedrinho stated that he learned the Consortium had once again gone to court and cited a report from Conmebol that, according to him, could lead Brazil's match to Paraguay. He classified this possibility as a cowardice against Vasco and the competition. The official said that the discussion had ceased to be technical and had turned into a power struggle, although he claimed to have never had a direct conflict with Bap. Should the game be moved to Paraguay, Pedrinho stated that he would strongly position himself before Conmebol on behalf of Vasco and that he would reassess the meaning of the Copa Sudamericana. He spoke to ESPN Brazil and SportsCenter BR. https://t.co/nSA2gNaXC4 #Vasco #Flamengo #Maracanã (translated)

The Football Planet reported that Judge Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto rejected the argument of the Fla-Flu Consortium that the process had lost its object after the deadline to inform Conmebol of the match stadium. According to the publication, the magistrate stated that the entity granted a new deadline, which was met by Vasco, and that the sale of more than 46,000 tickets made it unfeasible to transfer the fans to another stadium. The publication added that Almeida Neto criticized the previous decision for mentioning a basketball game at Maracanãzinho and said that the consortium's arguments contradicted the technical assessments of the security agencies. The judge stated that changing the location would create a “serious and insurmountable” security risk. According to the report, the Public Prosecutor's Office expressed itself twice in favor of holding the game at Maracanã. #Vasco #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)
