The Vasco da Gama's semifinal match against Boca Juniors in the Copa Sul-Americana has been a topic of discussion, with the club's management seeking a new venue for the match. The reason for this change is the limited capacity of São Januário, which cannot accommodate the expected number of fans. The Maracanã stadium, on the other hand, has a much larger capacity and is a more suitable venue for the match.
The Vasco da Gama's fans are known for their dedication and enthusiasm, and it is likely that the Maracanã stadium will be filled to capacity for the match. In fact, Vasco da Gama's forward Claudio Spinelli has expressed his confidence in the team's ability to fill the stadium, stating that "the Vasco enche, enche mesmo" (the Vasco fills up, fills up completely). He also noted that the team's fans are present in every corner of Brazil, making the Maracanã stadium a likely sell-out.
The match is scheduled to take place on October 20, with the first leg being played at the Bombonera stadium in Argentina on October 13. The outcome of the match will depend on various factors, including the team's performance and the support of their fans.
