Vasco da Gama has been granted the right to host their Copa Sudamericana semifinal match against Boca Juniors at the Maracanã stadium. This follows a ruling by the Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ), which upheld a previous decision by the Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro (TJ-RJ) in favor of the club.
The legal dispute between Vasco and the Fla-Flu consortium had been ongoing for nearly a month. By rejecting the appeal from Flamengo and Fluminense, the court has cleared the way for Pedro Emanuel’s team to play at the venue on October 20.
