Conmebol gets bids, weighs 4 countries for 2027 Libertadores final | OneFootball

Rio de Janeiro has put itself forward to host the Libertadores final

The group stage of the Copa Libertadores began last Tuesday (07), and Conmebol has kicked off planning for the 2027 final. South American football’s governing body is evaluating possible host cities, while countries are offering to organize the final.

According to information from the newspaper Estadão, four countries have offered to host the Copa Libertadores final. Brazil proposed Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. Argentina put forward La Plata, while Paraguay nominated Asunción and Colombia, Barranquilla.

Therefore, there is still no decision on the finalist venues to host the Copa Libertadores final. However, Conmebol intends to speed up the process and define the match location later this year.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION?

Since the new single-match final format adopted by Conmebol in 2019, seven editions of the Copa Libertadores have been played. During this period, Rio de Janeiro (2020 and 2023) and Lima (2019 and 2025), in Peru, hosted it twice.

Montevideo hosted the final in 2021 and will organize the decider in 2026. Finally, Guayaquil, Ecuador, in 2022, and Buenos Aires, in 2024, were the other host cities that staged the Copa Libertadores final during this period.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

While Conmebol decides on the venue for the 2027 final, Flamengo begins its journey with its sights set on the 2026 final. The Rubro-Negro side takes the field this Wednesday (08), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Cusco (PER), away from home, in its Copa Libertadores opener.
