Vasco’s Brasileirão match could move venues for an unusual reason | OneFootball

Vasco may have to play in a different stadium than originally planned for their match against Palmeiras in the Brazilian Championship. The match, scheduled for October 1st, is at risk of not taking place at Allianz Parque. The reason is a major international concert that will be held at the venue on the eve of the game, creating a huge logistical challenge.

Rapper’s concert creates a scheduling conflict

The CBF detailed the schedule this week and confirmed the game for a Wednesday. The problem is that, on the previous night, the stadium will host a concert by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. The short window of time between the end of the concert and the start of the match makes dismantling the complex event structure almost impossible.

Alternative already familiar to Vasco’s rival

Given the impasse, Arena Barueri emerges as the main alternative to host the match. The stadium, located in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, has already served as the home for the Alviverde on other occasions this season. The home team, therefore, is already familiar with the venue.

The stadium’s management and the concert promoter are still seeking a solution to keep the match at Allianz Parque. However, the move to Barueri has not been ruled out. The final decision on the venue for the clash between Vasco and Palmeiras should be made in the coming days, after a final analysis of logistical and financial feasibility.
