O Vasco colocou à venda neste sábado (24) os ingressos para o clássico com o Flamengo, marcado para quinta-feira (29), às 20h (de Brasília), em duelo da 33ª rodada do Brasileirão. O jogo será no Estádio Nilton Santos, casa do Botafogo — e o palco virou novo ponto de atrito entre os rivais.
A divisão de setores ficou assim: vascaínos no Norte, Leste e Oeste; rubro-negros no Sul. Na prática, 90% dos bilhetes são do Vasco e 10% do Flamengo.
A diretoria do Flamengo não gostou. O clube quer o Maracanã e igualdade de público, e a tendência é recorrer à Justiça antes da partida.
O plano original era São Januário, mas o estádio não teve autorização da Polícia Militar nem da CBF. Com isso, o Vasco comunicou a escolha do Nilton Santos à entidade e começou a organizar segurança, policiamento e trânsito.
A briga sobre o Maracanã vem de semanas. O Vasco penou para mandar ali os duelos com o Vitória, na Copa do Brasil, e com o Boca Juniors, na semifinal da Sul-Americana.
Havia um acordo com Flamengo e Fluminense para clássicos do Brasileiro no Maracanã, mas a diretoria vascaína avalia que não vale mais, diante da dificuldade em usar o estádio em outras competições.
O presidente da Assembleia Geral do clube, Alan Belaciano, confirmou a escolha na sexta-feira (23) e alfinetou o consórcio que administra o Maracanã.
“Vamos jogar no Engenhão até porque estamos muito preocupados com a situação do gramado do Maracanã. O Fluminense joga na véspera, e a gente não quer prejudicar o gramado de forma alguma”, declarou.
Ele também falou da expectativa de ver São Januário recebendo jogos maiores em 2027: o clube trabalha para regularizar a ampliação, de 21 mil para 25 mil lugares.
