Montevideo offers to host one final of the 2026 Libertadores tournament

But behind the scenes at CONMEBOL, Montevideo is seen as a safety net. According to Uol, the city has already been identified as the next stage. The blog confirmed that this is the trend. The Uruguayan capital was the scene of Palmeiras’ coronation over Flamengo in 2021.

It is worth noting that Brasilia was placed as an option for the 2025 Libertadores final, after Flamengo and Palmeiras reached a decision this season, amid political tension from the Peruvian government, which ended up being rejected by Congress. The Brazilian Confederation believes that Brazil is an available option given the consistency with which its teams have reached the final in recent years.
