Maracanã Debuts New Screen During Urubu vs. Santos Match
Maracanã opened a new screen in the visiting sector for the Flamengo versus Santos match on April 5, 2026. The device was installed to meet a demand tied to match permissions.
Installation and security requirement
Flamengo told journalists the screen was a condition set by BEPE. The measure allowed additional seating to be released.
The screen sits in the visiting sector, known as Setor Sul. Club sources say the change directly affected access below the away supporters.
Tickets and capacity changes
Organizers freed about 2,000 extra places for the fixture. Those seats were held until the screen requirement was satisfied.
The added tickets expanded capacity for fans travelling with Santos. Officials emphasized the step was regulatory in nature.
Reporting and sources
Information came via posts on X by journalists Wesley Ramon and Venê Casagrande. Venê is affiliated with SBT and reported the BEPE demand.
Filmogaz.com confirmed the timing and the approximate number of seats released. The outlet noted the screen debuted ahead of the Urubu vs. Santos match.
Potential impact and next steps
The installation may influence future approvals for visiting sections. Clubs and authorities will likely review outcomes after the game.
Fans should expect continued updates from the clubs and stadium operators. Further statements may clarify whether the screen remains for upcoming matches.
