Rio Deploys 265 Municipal Guards for Broadcast of Libertadores Cup Final Tonight
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Municipal Guard of Rio de Janeiro has set up a special patrolling and traffic control system with 265 municipal guards, to support events broadcasting live the final match of the Libertadores Cup of America, between Flamengo and River Plate, being played in Lima, Peru.
The match will be broadcast live today, Saturday, November 23rd, at Maracanã Stadium, and at other 12 points in the city that attract large numbers of soccer fans.
The operational plan will begin at 12 noon with 170 guards working on urban organization and traffic control and inspection of the main access roads to the stadium, such as Avenida Maracanã, Professor Manuel de Abreu, Radial Oeste, and Professor Eurico Rabelo and São Francisco Xavier streets.
The operation relies on teams from several operational units, in addition to the special groupings of Dogs, Traffic, Motorcyclists, Mobile Tactics and Special Operations.
There will be no parking areas, so the City Guard recommends that fans prioritize public transport to get to the stadium.
The Coordination of Parking and Towing Supervision, linked to the Municipal Secretary of Public Order (SEOP), will act with ten tow trucks around the Maracanã.
