Palmeiras play final Libertadores match under Allianz Parque name | OneFootball

On Thursday (16), at 7 p.m., Palmeiras and Sporting Cristal face off in the second round of the Copa Libertadores group stage. The match marks Verdão’s home debut in this year’s edition of the competition and also the club’s last game at the Allianz Parque, since the naming rights have been acquired by Nubank and, by the next home matches in the tournament, the arena’s new name will already have been announced.

The name remains, for now

Today’s game is the first match at the arena since Nubank announced the acquisition of the naming rights. The venue will remain Allianz Parque until early May, when the stadium’s new name will be announced. Voting to decide what Palmeiras’ home will be called remains open until April 30, with three options: Nubank Parque, Nubank Arena, and Parque Nubank.

Strength at home

Since the inauguration of the new arena, Palmeiras has tripled its number of Copa Libertadores titles. In addition, in just 10 seasons (between 2016 and 2025) of the main continental tournament at the new venue, Alviverde has reached three finals (2020, 2021, and 2025) and holds a 77.33% success rate, with 35 wins, 11 draws, and 4 defeats.

Currently, Palmeiras receives 30% of the revenue generated by renting out the arena for events, operating stores, parking, and snack bars, and also earns revenue from the rental of boxes, seats, and naming rights. For the most important moments of the season, Palmeiras has priority over dates at the venue.

In addition to the venue’s importance on the sporting side, in 2025 Allianz Parque sold more tickets for shows than all the other football stadiums in Brazil combined. According to a ranking by Pollstar, an American magazine focused on the entertainment industry, it was the arena that issued the most concert tickets in all of South America, with 988,000 tickets sold.
