Conmebol Weighs Moving 2025 Libertadores Final From Lima Over Security Concerns

Reports cite political unrest in Peru as the reason the governing body is reassessing Lima's readiness.

Overview

  • Regional outlets report Conmebol is assessing alternative venues for the 29 November final scheduled at Estadio Monumental in Lima.
  • The review follows Peru's political turmoil after Dina Boluarte's removal and José Jerí's swearing-in, with new protests raising public-order concerns.
  • No official change has been announced, and the FPF is lobbying to keep the match in Lima as evaluations continue.
  • Universitario says it has received no notification and is proceeding with stadium maintenance, including moving a domestic match to the National Stadium.
  • There is precedent for relocation, as Conmebol shifted the 2019 final from Santiago to Lima for security reasons.
