CONMEBOL Keeps Libertadores Final in Lima as Brasília Pitches Alternative Under Peru Emergency

Overview

• Interim president José Jerí imposed a 30-day state of emergency in Lima and Callao through November 21, citing rising violence and instability.
• Organizers maintain the November 29 final at Estadio Monumental in Lima and continue consultations with Peruvian authorities.
• Brasília’s governor Ibaneis Rocha formally offered the Mané Garrincha stadium to CBF and asked that the proposal be relayed to CONMEBOL, touting security and infrastructure.
• Reports identify Asunción as a possible fallback host if needed, though CONMEBOL has stated there is no defined plan B at this time.
• Emergency powers allow military patrols and potential limits on assemblies, creating operational risks as semifinals proceed with Flamengo and Palmeiras in the bracket.
