Grêmio Expects 25,000 Fans for First Arena-Managed Game Against Cruzeiro
The Grêmio football club is gearing up for its inaugural game managed by the new arena administration. The team anticipates the attendance of approximately 25,000 fans during their match against Cruzeiro. This significant event will take place on Wednesday, November 5, as part of the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. The kickoff is scheduled for 8 PM.
New Arena Management and Ticket Pricing
The club’s control of the arena was officially transferred to the management team on November 1, following approval from the Deliberative Council. Previously, the arena was under the ownership of entrepreneur Marcelo Marques since July. Adjustments have been made to the ticket pricing structure.
Attendance Projections
Eduardo Magrisso, the club’s vice president, shared insights on expected attendance strategies during an interview. Analyzing previous matches, the administration noted that Sunday games often yield the highest fan turnout, particularly for morning fixtures. However, due to the midweek scheduling of this match and a recent performance setback against Corinthians, the club is cautiously optimistic.
- Promotions are in place, allowing season ticket holders to bring a guest for free.
- The aim is to attract a crowd of around 25,000 fans, potentially exceeding this figure.
Current Standings and Future Aspirations
Grêmio currently ranks 11th in the league, with an eight-point cushion above the relegation zone. The team is actively pursuing a spot in the preliminary qualifiers for the 2026 Libertadores. Magrisso emphasized the importance of securing consecutive victories to enhance their chances of qualifying.
The team has eight games remaining this season, and the pathway to achieving their Libertadores goal is still viable. The collaboration of both players and fans will be crucial in this endeavor.
