Sistema facial recognition and stadium access
Para this event, CBF will maintain the requirement for facial biometrics for all accesses. The system aims to increase security and prevent money changers around the sports complex. Fans must register in advance on a specific platform integrated with the box office.
The database used is independent of those operated by Flamengo and Fluminense in club games. Isso means that even frequent Maracanã fans need to update their photos in the national team system, except for those who were at the last Brasil game there. Menores of age who do not have an ID with a photo can use their birth certificate, as long as they follow the validation procedure with the technical support indicated by the organization.
Final Preparação before the trip to Mundial
The game against Panamá has a symbolic nature for the delegation led by the national technical committee. The trip to the tournament headquarters, which includes Estados Unidos, Canadá and México, takes place on June 1st. Boarding is scheduled for the morning after the confrontation, departing directly from Rio to Janeiro.
Este friendly closes the cycle of tactical observations before the final registration of the 26 squad. The Brazilian delegation must remain focused on Granja Comary, on Teresópolis, until the day before the match. Espera Maracanã is expected to receive its maximum capacity for the squad’s last contact with Brazilian fans before the quest for the world title.
