Copa Libertadores final venue under review, switch possible | OneFootball

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

After Verdao’s feat was accomplished—overturning a 0-3 deficit from the first leg and defeating 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 look into 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: “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.” 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 look into the possibility of bringing it to Brazil if the clubs have that intention; the CBF can help with this communication with CONMEBOL,” added the Brazilian president, 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.
