Flamengo risk Conmebol ban after incidents vs Internacional in Libertadores | OneFootball

Use of Fireworks by Fans Led to Complaint

Flamengo will take the field for the Libertadores next Wednesday (20th), against Internacional, for the second leg of the round of 16. However, the first leg may cause a ‘headache’ for the Rubro-Negro. This is because Conmebol has reported the Most Beloved due to the actions of fans in the stands at Maracanã.

The Rubro-Negro will have to answer for article 12.2 of the Conmebol Disciplinary Code, related to the use of fireworks and flares by fans in the stands. On the other hand, Flamengo can defend itself and has until next Thursday (21st) to present its arguments.

The initial punishment is 5,000 dollars (R$ 25,000), but the amount could rise to 8,000 dollars (R$ 40,000) due to repeat offenses. Despite the situation, Flamengo does not risk being penalized with loss of home field advantage and also has no chance of having to play behind closed doors because of this issue, should it advance in the Copa Libertadores da América.

AND ON THE FIELD?

While Flamengo tries to avoid the Conmebol fine, the Rubro-Negro is looking to advance in the Copa Libertadores da América. This Wednesday (20th), Mengão plays the second leg against Internacional starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre.
