Mangueirão takes center stage in the big decision between Remo and Goiás and promises a historic crowd
Summary translated
The Olympic Stadium of Pará – Journalist Edgar Proença, Mangueirão – is ready to be the grand stage for the decision this Sunday (23), at 4:30 PM, between Clube do Remo and Goiás, for the 38th and final round of the 2025 Brazilian Serie B Championship. The atmosphere is that of a final: the Blue Lion can secure its return to the elite of national football after 32 years. To do this, in addition to defeating the Goiás team, the blue team needs to hope for a combination of results: a loss for Criciúma against Cuiabá and a loss or draw for Chapecoense against Atlético-GO.
More than 45,000 fans are expected to fill the stands after the blue supporters nearly sold out all the tickets. Owner of the third largest average attendance in Serie B (18,009), Remo had already sold all the tickets for the stands and seats on side A, with only section B remaining until the last update released on Friday afternoon (21). It is worth noting that the largest crowd of the current Serie B is from a Remo game, which was in the classic Re-Pa of the 13th round, which had 45,544 fans, with 23,770 being blue supporters.
On Saturday (22), the club released an extra batch of tickets for stands A and B and for seats in section B, after the check-in for members ended. With this, the projection is that Mangueirão can host up to 50,000 fans, reinforcing its role as the largest sports venue in the competition in 2025.
To host the decisive match, the stadium underwent a special operation to revitalize the pitch right after the Global Citizen Festival, held on November 1st. Technical teams immediately began work on cutting, leveling, irrigation, and granular and mineral fertilization, essential measures to recover the uniformity of the field after a large event. The process also included inspections of the drainage system, soil compaction assessment, and adjustments to the automated irrigation, ensuring that the field met the standards required by the CBF. The management of Mangueirão continues to monitor the pitch daily.
Amid the preparations, the secretary of the Pará Sports and Leisure Department highlighted the importance of the stadium and this historic moment.
“Mangueirão is fully prepared to host one of the most important matches of the decade for Pará football. We have worked to ensure a high-level pitch and a structure worthy of the spectacle that the fans and Remo deserve. On Sunday, Mangueirão will be the beating heart of sports in Brazil,” said the secretary.
