Nova Iguaçu sent a new letter in the early hours of Wednesday to Thursday to the Maracana Federation, which is run by the duo Flamengo and Fluminense, requesting that a match be held next Sunday at the stadium. The stationing took place simultaneously with Vasco.

Vasco, Nova Iguaçu and the Rio Federation are now awaiting the federation's response so they can make the change official and begin the operational process of the match. The match is currently scheduled to be held at the Estadio Raulino de Oliveira in Volta Redonda.

Initially, the Fla-Flu Federation said that Nova Iguaçu had chosen to play in the Volta Redonda, while the application was still being analysed. However, the Baixada club themselves stated, during the afternoon, that since they had not received a response from the consortium, Verge had advised them to send the match to the Estadio Raulino de Oliveira.

Version of Fla-Flu union to ge: “Nova Iguaçu needed a response by noon today (13/03). Since the consortium was still analyzing the application submitted, the club chose to immediately schedule the match at Estadio Cidaña, in the Volta Redonda.”

Nova Iguaçu version: “Last Monday (11), Nova Iguaçu asked the consortium that manages the Maracanã to use the stadium to host the second leg of the Carioca Championship semi-final against Vasco da Gama. However, the club did not receive positive responses regarding the request. Due to the time required to determine the course of the match, The club had to contact FERJ, advising it to point to another stadium, and consequently, Nova Iguaçu pointed to the Estadio Raulino de Oliveira, in the Volta Redonda.

Faraj version: “Nova Iguaçu had the sole right to select and indicate the Raulino de Oliveira stadium, supported by the right to do so, as manager; FERJ had no interference in the selection, selection and indication of the stadiums, the reasons for which were not specified.” “. It is up to you to discuss it, because it does not violate or violate legal rules.”

Before that, Vasco had previously issued a statement criticizing the decision to withdraw the match from the Maracanã stadium. In a memorandum proposing joint management between all, carried out in a joint manner, the club sent a message to the Flamengo and Fluminense duo.

– These few nobles, do not realize the damage they are doing to the tournament and the spectacle, taking fans away from one of the biggest stages in the sport – Vasco wrote.

However, early on Wednesday evening, the Fla-Flu Federation issued a note stating that the Rio de Janeiro Football Federation (Ferj) had made the match in the Volta Redonda official before submitting a response, but the reason for the delay was not explained. And what the response will be.

In doing so, Vasco made himself available to provide the necessary support for the match, which will be held at the Maracanã. With Nova Iguaçu in charge, it was up to Baixada to ask the federation to hold the match at the former Mayor do Mundo stadium.

After much confusion, the governor's demonstration left the ball in Nova Iguaçu's hands once again. Baixada Fluminense submitted the request to the Verge official early Thursday morning, in a statement with FAXO, so that the federation could move the match to the Maracanã.

Since the terms of the permission to use stipulate that the current licensees (Flamengo and Fluminense) must transfer the stadium to other clubs, Nova Iguaçu will have the same success as Vasco when it goes to court to send matches to the Maracanã.
