Court rules Maracanã can host Vasco vs Boca in Copa Sudamericana

Summary

A Rio de Janeiro court has lifted an injunction, allowing the Maracanã Stadium to host the Copa Sudamericana semifinal second leg between Vasco and Boca Juniors on October 17. The ruling, issued by appellate judge Joaquim Domingos de Almeida Neto, clears the way for ticket sales to resume, following a previous order citing security concerns due to a basketball game at the same venue. Vasco successfully argued that official football matches take precedence, countering the consortium's claims. The first leg will take place at La Bombonera on October 13.
