Libertadores: Fluminense meet two new foes, reunite after 76 years | OneFootball

Fluminense will face new opponents in the group stage of the Conmebol Libertadores 2026. In Group C, the Tricolor will face Deportivo La Guaira (VEN) and Independiente Rivadavia (ARG) for the first time in history.

Bolívar (BOL), on the other hand, is the only opponent that Flu has played against before. The teams will meet again after more than seven decades. The match took place in 1950 when the Tricolor visited the Bolivians at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz and won 2-1 in a friendly.

The draw, held last Thursday, placed the four clubs in Group C, with two spots up for grabs for the round of 16. Fluminense's journey begins away from home against La Guaira in the week of April 8.
