Brazil May Host the 2027 Libertadores Final

The final of the Libertadores 2026 already has a set destination: Montevideo, Uruguay. However, even with this year's edition still underway, Conmebol is already looking ahead to 2027 and searching for possible venues for the final. In this scenario, the CBF has already nominated Brasília and Rio de Janeiro as candidates to host the grand finale of the continental tournament.

In addition to Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, La Plata in Argentina and Asunción in Paraguay are also in the running to host the final of the Libertadores in 2027. In Brazil, the nominated stadiums are Estádio Mané Garrincha and Maracanã.

DID THE PRESIDENT OF CONMEBOL COMMENT ON A POSSIBLE FINAL IN BRAZIL?

Conmebol is already considering the possibility of Brazil hosting the final of the Copa Libertadores in 2027. In this regard, Alejandro Domínguez, president of the organization, spoke to GE TV about the submitted bids.

“It is indeed one of the possibilities. Just today, there are bids submitted by the CBF to play in Brasília or Rio, but there’s also one from the AFA to play in La Plata (Argentina). There’s also another to play here in Asunción (Paraguay),” he said, before adding:

“The council has to decide. Brazil has already hosted several finals, but why not? (laughs). It’s a decision for the council to make,” concluded the Conmebol president.

While Conmebol searches for a venue for the Libertadores 2027 final, Flamengo begins its journey towards the final in Montevideo. The current champion, Mengão, faces Cusco (PER), Independiente Medellín (COL), and Estudiantes (ARG) in the group stage this season.
