Members of the Gendarmerie can be seen around the entire Red Star stadium, the West and South stands are blocked, where the entrance to the club's official premises as well as a part of the Youth School are located.

According to our reporter from the scene, there is a growing crowd around Marakana, everything is blocked and a large number of police vans can be seen around the stadium. At the same time, many people who work at the stadium have been ordered out after the police came in, and are now standing outside it.

The club is not saying why the stadium has been blocked since this morning and what is the reason for the police presence there.
