Public Safety

edit

In February 2017, the police of Espírito Santo went on strike.[1] In response, the Federação de Futebol do Estado do Espírito Santo, which runs all competitions in Espírito Santo, postponed the competition for over a month, from February 4 to March 8.[2] This resulted in the competition ending two weeks later than planned.
