The match was initially scheduled for Sunday, October 11, at 19h30, but will now take place on Monday, October 12, at 16h. This change was made to accommodate Coritiba's request, as October 12 marks the anniversary of the club. The CBF has accepted this request, and the match will now be played on the designated holiday.
Coritiba is currently the 9th placed team in the Campeonato Brasileiro with 38 points, while Botafogo is the 12th placed team with 35 points. The change in match date and time will not affect the teams' current standings, but it will give Coritiba a chance to celebrate its anniversary in a more meaningful way.
In related news, Coritiba and Botafogo will both play matches before the rescheduled match. Coritiba will face Fluminense on October 8 at 21h30, while Botafogo will play against Vasco on October 7 at 20h30. These matches will take place during the FIFA break in the Brasileirão.
The change in match date and time has been confirmed by the CBF, and the match will now take place on Monday, October 12, at 16h.
