CBF president hints at talks with Conmebol to bring final to Brazil | OneFootball

The president of the CBF, Samir Xaud, was present at the Palmeiras 4-0 victory over LDU this Thursday. With this result, Palmeiras advanced to the Libertadores final and will compete for the title against Flamengo. Xaud revealed that he might talk to Conmebol to bring the final to Brazil.

“With this Brazilian final now, we can explore the possibility of bringing it to Brazil if the clubs are interested. If the clubs express their intention, the CBF can assist in this dialogue with Conmebol. It’s important to clarify that Conmebol makes the final decision. With dialogue, it is indeed possible,” he revealed.

Final scheduled to take place in Peru

The decision is set to take place at the Estadio Monumental U, in Lima, Peru, on November 29, with the time yet to be defined. However, in recent days, the location of the match has been a topic of discussion since Lima entered a state of emergency.

Last week, the governor of the Federal District (DF), Ibaneis Rocha, offered the Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília as an alternative venue for the Libertadores final. The politician sent a letter to the CBF and Conmebol suggesting that the continental tournament final take place in Brazilian territory.

Palmeiras and Flamengo to replay final

Palmeiras and Flamengo will face each other again in a Libertadores final after three years. The teams competed for the title in 2021, in Montevideo, Uruguay. On that occasion, Palmeiras emerged victorious, winning 2-1, and claimed the trophy. Both teams are fighting for their fourth championship.
