Agustín Rossi, Flamengo’s goalkeeper, has criticized the Maracanã field, saying it has bumps across the surface and expressing hope that conditions improve before the football game. The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to play in Rio de Janeiro next Sunday, eight days after the report, and the matchup remains set for Maracanã Stadium.

Dallas is designated as the home team, while Baltimore is designated as the road team. Those designations have not changed, although it remains unclear whether the field will be improved before kickoff.

The Cowboys are scheduled to play Washington on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET before traveling to Brazil. The Ravens are scheduled to meet New Orleans on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Sports.yahoo.com reported the information on Sept. 19, 2026.
