Trying to save Maracanã as much as possible for the final of the Copa Libertadores da América, one of Flamengo's home games was transferred to the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília. In order for the match to take place, the complex's administration decided to carry out a renovation, with the aim of renewing the venue's lawn before the match.
The clash between Flamengo and Santos is scheduled for the first of November (Wednesday). The game will be for the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship and had to be relocated to the federal district, because a few days later (04/11), Mengão's 'home' will receive Boca Juniors (ARG) and Fluminense for the decision of the Libertadores Cup.
While Maracanã is experiencing serious problems in managing the condition of its pitch, due to the number of commitments it receives, Mané Garrincha is not far behind in terms of maintaining the 'green carpet'. In fact, it will undergo renovation before the match, so that part of the pitch will be changed.
The stadium administration ordered 2,500 square meters of real grass to replace that already installed. This decision was taken when the director of Ninho do Urubu, Bruno Leme, carried out an inspection at the site, according to information released by GE. Flamengo's representative received the news during Mané Garrincha's evaluation, which certainly influenced the club's decision when choosing a new 'home'.
