Botafogo studies the light problem and fights for the game against Fortaleza; understand

After the power surges that caused the postponement of the game against Athletico-PRO Botafogo Investigate the causes to prevent it from happening again. According to “Globo Esporte”, a power spike in the region was the main reason for the stadium’s lights to go out five times during the match.

After confirming the change of the game to Sunday, 22nd, the CBF also announced that the game against Strength would leave on Tuesday, the 24th, as the minimum rest time would not be respected. Despite this, the Botafogo board is fighting to maintain the match date, and states that it will spare no effort to achieve this.

“Due to FIFA Dates, the calendar became tighter. It will be difficult to fit in another date due to the games that will still take place. Botafogo is trying what it believes will be best for the competition, to maintain the balance it needs to have“, said coach Lúcio Flávio at a press conference.

In addition to the minimum rest time, Fortaleza’s participation in the South American final also prevents the match from being scheduled another day this week. This is because Conmebol regulations require teams to arrive at the game location three days before the decision, which will take place next Saturday, the 28th.

Meanwhile, the CBF understands that maintaining the date went against a demand from the players themselves, who complain about the sequence of games throughout the season. In any case, the expectation is that the final decision will take place this Monday, the 23rd, as the locals would need to travel to Fortaleza for the match.
