The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to meet in Rio de Janeiro next Sunday for their Week 3 game, but concerns have been raised about the condition of the field at Maracanã Stadium.

Agustín Rossi, a goalkeeper for Flamengo, recently criticized the surface. He said the field has bumps throughout it and expressed hope that it would be in better condition when the NFL game is played.

The contest remained scheduled for Maracanã Stadium at the time of the report, with eight days remaining before kickoff. Dallas is listed as the home team, while Baltimore is designated as the visiting team.

Before traveling to Brazil for that matchup, the Cowboys are scheduled to face the Washington Commanders on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. Eastern time. The Ravens are set to play the New Orleans Saints that same day at 1 p.m. Eastern time.

Further details about whether the field will be changed or improved were not provided. The report was published by sports.yahoo.com.
