Coritiba fans barred

The major reinforced the ban on 1,775 Coritiba fans from entering Couto Pereira. Fans have been prevented from entering the stadium for a year due to the fight in Vila Capanema, in November last year, in the game against Cruzeiro.

“Fans associated with Império Alviverde and Dragões Alviverde will not be allowed to enter Couto Pereira, as determined by the court. It will not be permitted to use any object or clothing that alludes to these fans in the immediate vicinity of the stadium,” said the police officer.

Império Alviverde awaits the definitive analysis of the appeal and requested a new analysis of the decision of judge Maria Aparecida Blanco de Lima, who maintained the ban. To date, however, fans remain unable to attend the venue.
