The Military Police will have something new in the three games taking place this week in Rio de Janeiro: the use of reconnaissance facial on body cameras inside and around Maracanã and the Botafogo stadium, Nilton Santos.

Fluminense x Atlético-MG and Botafogo and São Paulo play this Wednesday (18) in the city. The first match will be at 7pm, at Maracanã. The second will take place at 9:30 pm, at Nilton Santos. On Thursday (19) it is the turn of Flamengo and Peñarol (URU), at Maracanã.


The State Government classified the planning for the games as a "task force". There will be more than two thousand police officers involved in the matches, including military and civilian personnel. The objective of facial recognition is to try to find criminals infiltrating the fans. The action also has the support of the Public Ministry and the Football Federation of Rio de Janeiro (Ferj).


Several areas of the Military Police are in the task force: In the regions close to the stadiums there will be the Command of Specialized Police (CPE), the Special Operations Command (COE) and all area units of the corporation.

Policing around and inside the stadiums will be the responsibility of the Specialized Stadium Policing Battalion (Bepe). The escort of fans of visiting teams will be the responsibility of RECOM (Special Rounds and Crowd Control) and the new BTM (Tactical Motorcycle Battalion), both upon arrival and departure.


Peñarol fans will be monitored by the Intelligence sector of the Military Police, with support from the Federal Highway Police, as a large number come from Uruguay in chartered cars or buses. Policing will also be reinforced in the hotel area of ​​the South Zone and the Center of the capital.

Rock in Rio on Thursday

In addition to the Flamengo game , Thursday (19) will also feature Rock in Rio. The PM, however, guarantees that the Libertadores matches will not affect the security planning of the event, which runs until this Sunday (22). In total, more than eight thousand police officers were mobilized to Cidade do Rock.
