Wanting to play in the capital of São Paulo in the semi-final of the State Championship, Santos is waiting for the Conmebol calendar to decide where the clash will take place.
O Santos has already sent the request to the FPF (São Paulo Football Federation) to play in the state capital for the semi-final of the state tournament. Despite this, the entity is waiting for the definition of the Libertadores calendar, which Conmebol should publish in the coming days, to define the place of the match.
The South American confederation will be crucial because of the calendar of the Palm trees after FIFA Date. The possibility of the team playing on April 2nd means that the first game of the Paulistão final needs to be on March 30th. Even if Verdão is eliminated, all possibilities will be taken into consideration before the announcement.

The fact would force the Peixe game to be moved to the 27th, in Baixada Santista, against the wishes of its board. Another important point is that Palmeiras will also host their semi-final, against Novorizontino, which would prevent the two matches from taking place simultaneously, or in a short space of time.
During this period, Santos resumed talks with Corinthians regarding the use of the Neo Química Arena, which has not yet been completely closed, but should happen in the event of a green light from the entities. It is a fact that the idea of the club president, Marcelo Teixeirais to attract a larger audience and income in São Paulo than it would be in Santos.
