Coritiba x Botafogo will be played behind closed doors

O Coritiba confirmed, this Wednesday morning (29), that the match against Botafogo, starting at 9:30 pm, at Couto Pereira, will be played behind closed doors. According to a statement released by the club, there is no time to sell tickets.

“This fact arises from the content of the complementary order issued by the STJD, which clarifies that the original decision allowing the partial release of the public must be complied with in harmony with the provisions of article 143 of the General Sports Law, which provides for the availability of tickets to fans at least 48 hours in advance”, highlights Coxa’s note.
