CONMEBOL Weighs Moving 2025 Copa Libertadores Final From Lima

Security concerns tied to Peru’s political unrest have prompted a review of Estadio Monumental’s suitability.

Overview

  • Reports from RPP and journalist Gustavo Peralta say CONMEBOL is evaluating a venue change because of the political crisis and planned marches in Lima.
  • No official decision has been issued, so Estadio Monumental remains the scheduled site for the final at this time.
  • Universitario de Deportes says it has not been notified of any modification and continues preparations under the current plan.
  • Pitch maintenance at the Monumental prompted Universitario to move a domestic match to Lima’s Estadio Nacional.
  • There is precedent for a late switch, as CONMEBOL moved the 2019 final from Santiago to Lima due to public‑order concerns.
