The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens are still scheduled to meet at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium next Sunday, but the venue’s playing surface has drawn concerns ahead of the Week 3 matchup.

Flamengo goalkeeper Agustín Rossi recently criticized the condition of the field, saying his team is playing on a surface with bumps across it. Rossi also said he hopes the field will be in better shape by the time the NFL game is held.

The Cowboys are designated as the home team, while the Ravens are designated as the visiting team. The matchup remains scheduled for Maracanã, and the source report did not provide any change to the venue.

Before traveling to Brazil for the game, Dallas is scheduled to play Washington on Sunday while seeking its first victory of the season. Baltimore is also scheduled to play Sunday, against New Orleans, in an effort to earn its second win of the year. The Cowboys-Commanders game is set for 4:25 p.m. Eastern time, and the Ravens-Saints game is scheduled for 1 p.m. Eastern time.
