Confirmed: Copa Libertadores final to go ahead in Peru as planned | OneFootball

As planned and despite the current political tension in Peru, the final of the Copa Libertadores will be held in Lima and will not change venue, as was rumored.

In recent hours, the new government has provided the necessary guarantees to CONMEBOL that the final can take place in that city. There is no consideration of the possibility that the decisive match will be held at the Monumental de River as detailed in the regulations.

Although the interim government of José Jerí declared a state of emergency in Peru due to the wave of protests, it has been communicated that the conditions will be set for the Final to be held on November 29th.

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

If the escalation of problems and incidents in Peru intensifies, CONMEBOL will consider the options it already has up its sleeve, among which it is worth clarifying that Buenos Aires or any other venue in the country would not be considered.

This is the lineup for the Copa Libertadores semifinals

Flamengo kicked off by narrowly defeating Racing this Wednesday at the Maracanã. This Thursday will be the first match between Liga de Quito and Palmeiras. The return matches will be on Wednesday 29th at the Cilindro and Thursday 30th in Sao Paulo.
