Agustín Rossi, Flamengo’s goalkeeper, has raised concerns about the condition of the Maracanã Stadium field ahead of the Baltimore Ravens-Dallas Cowboys game in Rio de Janeiro. Rossi described the surface as uneven and said he hoped it would be addressed before the football matchup.

The game is scheduled for next Sunday, eight days after the report, and remains set to be played inside Maracanã. Dallas is designated as the home team, while Baltimore is designated as the road team. Those designations have not changed, although it is unclear whether the field will be improved before the game begins.

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 at 1 p.m. ET. Sports.yahoo.com reported the information on Sept. 19, 2026.
