Conmebol considers hosting Libertadores final outside South America | OneFootball

End of 2025 Still Set for Lima, Peru

Conmebol continues to study the next steps for the upcoming editions of the Copa Libertadores. One of the options being considered is the possibility of holding the continental tournament final outside South America in future seasons.

— This is a topic that is on the table and under evaluation. We have set a roadmap for the coming years, but we are still assessing. We are working to increase interest outside South America — said Juan Emilio Roa, Conmebol’s commercial director, to the English newspaper ‘The Athletic’.

MORE CHANGES IN THE LIBERTADORES?

In recent years, Conmebol has made drastic changes to the final of the Copa Libertadores. Previously, the final was played over two legs, home and away. However, the decisive match of the tournament is now held at a single venue, following the model of the Champions League.

OUTSIDE SOUTH AMERICA?

Conmebol had to act and move the final of the Copa Libertadores 2018 out of South America. This was because, after the first match between Boca Juniors (ARG) and River Plate (ARG), which was marked by much confusion among the fans, the organization moved the return leg to Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

CHANGE IN 2025?

Flamengo and Palmeiras will play the final of the Copa Libertadores 2025 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. Thus, the decisive match will kick off at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), and the Most Beloved will be seeking their fourth championship title.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

However, before thinking about Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores final, Flamengo has a commitment in the Brazilian Championship. The red-and-black team faces São Paulo this Wednesday (5th), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 32nd round.
