Libertadores: final host city in turmoil, Conmebol eyes backup plan

Conmebol Studies Security and Political Instability Issues in Peru

The political situation in Peru has taken an unusual turn following the removal of President Dina Boluarte. As a result, Conmebol is considering moving the Copa Libertadores final venue from Lima to Asunción due to the internal crisis in the neighboring country.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Conmebol will assess the insecurity, as well as the political and social instability, in the coming days. The change of venue is not ruled out.

Therefore, the recommendation is that fans do not purchase tickets or organize logistics for Lima. Conmebol is expected to communicate the situation soon, confirming whether the decision will be maintained or altered.

WHAT DID CONMEBOL SAY

“There is no such discussion within Conmebol at this moment. The entity, of course, is monitoring all developments on the matter in the country, but the Libertadores final should not be affected in any way at this time,” a Conmebol member told Coluna do Fla.

WHEN IS THE FINAL?

The Copa Libertadores final is scheduled for November 29 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima. Currently, Flamengo is facing Racing (ARG), while the other semifinal is between Palmeiras and LDU (EQU).
