A massive brawl erupted during a second-division Under-20 football match between Uberlandia and Mame in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state on November 1, 2026. The incident began after a player made provocative gestures toward the opposing team’s bench, leading to physical altercations involving players, staff members, and ball boys. The referee suspended the game and issued a total of 51 red cards, setting a new world record that surpassed a previous benchmark of 36 dismissals set in Argentina in 2011. The violence extended into the locker rooms, where participants damaged stadium infrastructure including doors, sinks, showers, lockers, benches, electrical systems, stretchers, and two hot tubs.
