Confirmed: Copa Libertadores final to be played in Peru as planned | OneFootball

As planned, and despite the current political tension in Peru, the Copa Libertadores final will be played in Lima and the venue will not change, as had been rumored.

In recent hours, the new government has provided CONMEBOL with the necessary guarantees to hold the final in that city. There are no plans to move the decisive match to the Monumental de River, as outlined in the regulations.

Although the interim government of José Jerí declared a state of emergency in Peru in response to the wave of protests, it has been announced that the conditions will be in place for the Final to be played on November 29.

It is worth mentioning that, amid a security crisis in the South American country, President Diana Boluarte was removed from office through an impeachment trial that placed Jerí in the top position. With the seventh president since 2016, Peru is experiencing instability surrounded by scandals, social protests, political extortion, and murders.

If the escalation of problems and incidents in Peru intensifies, CONMEBOL will then consider the backup options it already has in place, among which it is worth clarifying that neither Buenos Aires nor any other venue in the country would be considered.

This is the current bracket for the Copa Libertadores semifinals

Flamengo kicked things off by narrowly defeating Racing this Wednesday at the Maracanã. On Thursday, it will be time for the first match between Liga de Quito and Palmeiras. The return legs will be played on Wednesday the 29th at the Cilindro and Thursday the 30th in São Paulo.
