Brazilian soccer fans could be barred from standing up, taking their shirts off, waving flags and playing musical instruments at Maracanã, the stadium’s administration said.

Rio de Janeiro’s four top-flight clubs, Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco da Gama and Botafogo, are expected to share the refurbished Maracanã, which reopened in June.

■ Fans who paid $2,500 for tickets to Lionel Messi’s charity game last weekend in Chicago will be eligible for refunds after he failed to show for a promised meet-and-greet after the game.

The V.I.P. package was to include a private session with Messi, on-field seating and signed memorabilia. But Messi left the game in the 69th minute and Soldier Field shortly after. (AP)
