Conmebol mulling Libertadores final venue change? We check the facts! | OneFootball

Removal of Peru’s president would have caused uncertainty at Conmebol about keeping the final in Lima

The removal of Peru’s president, Dina Boluarte, sparked rumors that Conmebol was considering changing the venue of the Copa Libertadores final. However, at this moment, the organization does not intend to change the stadium for the grand decider.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, there is no such discussion within Conmebol at this time. The entity does say it is monitoring all developments on the matter in the country, but the Libertadores final should not be affected in any way so far.

When does the final take place?

The tournament final, hosted in Peru, is scheduled for November 29 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima. The stadium is special for Flamengo, which won its second title in the competition over River Plate (ARG) at that venue.

Is Flamengo in this year’s Libertadores?

To relive the excitement at the Monumental in Lima, Flamengo must first get past Racing (ARG). The first leg of the semifinals, at the Maracanã, will be on October 22, while the return leg takes place on the 29th of the same month.

Who could Flamengo face in the final?

If Racing is eliminated, Flamengo could face LDU (ECU) or Palmeiras. A decision between the Brazilian teams would be a rematch opportunity for the Rubro-Negro of the Libertadores final in 2021.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While the match against Racing hasn’t arrived yet, Flamengo is preparing to return to the field in the Brasileirão. On Wednesday (15), the Most Beloved faces Botafogo in the 28th round of the tournament.

The derby takes place at the Nilton Santos Stadium, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Finally, the clash will be broadcast live on RecordTV (free-to-air), CazéTV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
