After Independiente trouble, River vs Libertad security plan revealed | OneFootball

The security operation at the Monumental for tonight's match between River and Libertad, for the Copa Libertadores round of 16, will involve the presence of more than 1000 police officers, according to the City Security Ministry. Around 1000 Paraguayan supporters are expected, who will be located in a section of the upper Centenario stand.

There will be a large number of private security agents to create a buffer zone in the stand and separate the visiting fans from the locals. This is because Libertad did not sell all the tickets available to them (4000), so the Paraguayans will occupy only a section of the Centenario, specifically the corner next to the Belgrano. Meanwhile, the rest of the stand will be filled with Millonario fans.

A noteworthy detail is that the section where the visitors will be located has acrylic barriers on both sides, and red tarps have been placed over them to prevent contact with the rest of the audience. Additionally, there is fencing to prevent any kind of projectiles from being thrown.

The fans of the Guaraní team will use the stadium entrance on Padre Neuman street to avoid crossing paths with the Millonario fans who will enter through Udaondo and Libertador. Those attending the match will have to pass through three security rings, where their tickets will be checked with a QR code reader and various searches will be conducted.

It is worth remembering that the 'Safe Stand' program, promoted by the National Security Ministry and applicable to sporting events held throughout the country, will be enforced to identify individuals with admission rights.

The doors of the Monumental will open at 6:30 PM, three hours before the start of the match, and fans are advised to arrive early to avoid potential complications when entering. A full house is expected from the River fans for tonight.
