Flamengo and Palmeiras to decide the Libertadores final in Peru, a country with a delicate political scenario


In recent weeks, rumors have emerged about a possible change in the venue for the final of the Libertadores. This is because political demonstrations in Peru have caused disorder. However, Coluna do Fla spoke with a Peruvian journalist, who revealed calmness.

“The situation is calmer now. There are still some demonstrations, but nothing serious or disturbing,” highlighted journalist Renzo Galiano from Infobae. The response given to the Coluna do Fla report is of particular interest to the fans of Flamengo and Palmeiras.

But will the Libertadores final change venue?

As soon as the Peruvian political scenario worsened, Mané Garrincha in Brasília appeared as an option. However, Conmebol, the body governing the Libertadores, dismissed any change from the start of the theories.

What is happening in Peru?

Young Peruvians are showing dissatisfaction with the country's government and are holding intense demonstrations in the streets of various cities. The group rejects the inauguration of interim president José Jerí, who recently took office after the removal of Dina Boluarte.

Thus, supporters of the now former manager, who is accused of alleged corruption, classify the entire process as a political coup. According to Galiano, however, the scenario seems more peaceful.

Who will be in the Libertadores final?

Flamengo eliminated Racing (ARG), and Palmeiras overcame LDU (EQU) to reach the final. Therefore, the winner of the decision will become the first Brazilian four-time champion of the Copa Libertadores.

So, on the 29th of this month, starting at 6 PM (Brasília time), Flamengo and Palmeiras will duel at the Monumental U stadium in Lima. The venue is the same as the Libertadores of 2019, where the Rubro-Negro won their second title.
