Marítimo, a Portuguese club from the island of Madeira, sold out the capacity of its stadium to receive Benfica fans. This football match involves the two clubs in a game that attracted great interest from supporters.
The Madeiran club opens the stadium doors at 4:15 PM to receive the fans. This opening time allows spectators to arrive early and take their seats before the start of the match.
One of the measures implemented by Marítimo is the prohibition of items related to the "reds", meaning materials with Benfica's colors and symbols. This restriction applies specifically to the stands designated for green and red supporters, which are Marítimo's colors.
This decision aims to ensure that the areas reserved for the visiting team's supporters maintain their own visual identity, avoiding conflicts or provocations between rival fan groups in the stands where the Madeira club's supporters predominate.
