Hours after calling off Thursday's 4th round match in the Libertadores Cup between Flamengo and Universidad de Chile, Rio de Janeiro's governor Sergio Cabral altered Wednesday's decision to postpone the match.
Due to heavy rains, floods and deaths throughout the state, the game was originally postponed. However, the plans have changed.
Upon learning of the news from state officials that the match would be canceled, Flamengo's president Patricia Amorim entered into quick action.
He established contact with the Chilean team and tried to reschedule the match for this Friday. Unable to make an agreement due to a conflicting schedule, the game was going to be played out at a future date.
However, tickets for the match of the 4th round of play in Group 8 of the Libertadores Cup had already been sold. In order to avoid any confusion, both teams and government leaders decided that the game should be played.
The state Secretary of Sports, Tourism and Recreation, Marcia Lins, the Rio de Janeiro city mayor, Eduardo Paes and governor Sergio Cabral all guaranteed that the physical conditions of the stadium and its surrounding area will be clean and safe.
Additionally, they promised that police vigilance and public transportation will be ready and available.
Due to the fact that Adriano has not fully recuperated from a sore lower back, he will not play in Thursday's match. His replacement to play alongside Vagner Love will be Bruno Mezenga.
