Copa Libertadores final: venue change under consideration | OneFootball

The final of the Copa Libertadores has been set, with Palmeiras and Flamengo set to replay the 2021 final, after eliminating Liga de Quito and Racing, respectively. The decisive match is scheduled to take place on November 29 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru, but from Brazil, they have anticipated that they will attempt to change the venue.

After the achievement of Verdao, who overturned a 0-3 deficit from the first leg and defeated Liga de Quito 4-0, the President of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Samir Xaud, stated that they will consider requesting a change and bringing the final to Brazil: “We will see the possibility of bringing it to Brazil if the clubs [Flamengo and Palmeiras] have that intention,” he assured.

In a post-match interview in the mixed zone with the international press, Xaud declared: “The dialogue is constant; it is the foundation of our management. If it benefits the clubs, the CBF will support it and we will try to do it in the best possible way.” And he continued: “The cities of Brasilia and Belém expressed their opinions on their own initiative; there was no prior conversation with the CBF. It depends on them [Flamengo and Palmeiras]. The CBF will be open to dialogue, in case a decision is made in Brazil.”

“We will see the possibility of bringing it to Brazil if the clubs have that intention; the CBF can help with this communication with CONMEBOL,” completed the Brazilian leader, who took office in May of this year and will have three teams from his confederation among the four finalists of international tournaments: Flamengo and Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores and Atlético Mineiro in the Copa Sudamericana, who will face Lanús.
