Palmeiras and Flamengo set for seventh all-Brazilian Libertadores final | OneFootball

With the qualifications of Palmeiras and Flamengo for the Copa Libertadores final, the competition will have its seventh final between Brazilian clubs in history. The two teams return to contest a continental title after four years.

Finals between Brazilian teams have become increasingly common in recent years. With the exception of the 2023 final, between Fluminense and Boca Juniors, all other editions between 2020 and 2025 featured exclusively national duels.

Past finals between Brazilians

The first all-Brazilian final occurred in 2005, between São Paulo and Athletico-PR. The following year, Tricolor returned to the final, this time against Internacional.
