Overview

  • An MP-CE–led working group met with Fortaleza and Sport plus state and city officials and Civil and Military Police to finalize escorts and operational measures for the game.
  • The plan prohibits the entry of materials identifying visiting torcidas organizadas, targeting items such as uniforms, flags, and banners from Sport’s organized groups.
  • Sport’s main organized supporters, Maior do Nordeste, instructed members to wear only the club’s official shirts as a way to comply with the ban.
  • Fortaleza host Sport at Arena Castelão on Saturday, 27 September, at 16:00 (Brasília) in the 25th round of the Brasileiro.
  • Both clubs sit in the drop zone—Fortaleza 19th with 18 points and Sport 20th with 14—with UFMG modeling listing them among the teams at highest risk of relegation.
