Travel information: Galo v Grêmio (including Rua de Fogo plans)

Galo will face Grêmio in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Arena MRV. Traffic and transport authorities will implement additional measures around the stadium, including road restrictions, altered traffic flow, and designated access routes for fans. The Arena MRV Esplanade and parking lots open at 3 p.m. Drivers arriving via the ring road toward Betânia should use the service road (Avenida Itaú), followed by the second interchange ramp onto Avenida Cícero Idelfonso, as indicated on the map, until they reach Via Expressa.

Temporary changes include altered traffic flow in the Califórnia, Camargos, and Santa Maria neighborhoods, road closures near the stadium, and a reversible lane on Av. Pres. Juscelino Kubitschek to improve traffic flow. Special pedestrian paths and routes to Arena MRV are also in place. On the traditional Rua de Fogo, barriers will be installed at 3 p.m. along sections of the Via Expressa and Rua Alice Neves, with security teams directing fans.

Entry to Arena MRV will be by facial recognition for fans over 12 years old. The club encourages fans to arrive early and use public transport, such as the metro or Conexão Arena MRV. Official parking opens at 3 p.m. and is exclusively for Galo fans. Conexão Arena MRV offers premium coach transport across several Belo Horizonte neighborhoods, with boarding points and schedules available on their official website.

Taxis must drop passengers off on Avenida Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek, near the stairs leading to Praça do Torcedor, and return buses are scheduled 30 minutes after the final whistle.
