The eagerly awaited final of the 2024 Copa Libertadores is on the horizon, with semifinals set to unfold later this month.
This prestigious South American club tournament’s finale marks a highlight in the soccer calendar. In this year’s edition, Atletico Mineiro, River Plate, Botafogo, and Penarol are fiercely competing for a spot in the final match.
Traditionally, the final consisted of two matches at the home grounds of each team, with the total scores determining the winner. However, since 2019, CONMEBOL opted for a single-match final format, which, despite some criticism, enhances the event’s excitement.
Here’s what you need to know about the 2024 final, including its date and location.
2024 Copa Libertadores Final Date
Mark your calendars: the 2024 final will take place on November 30 in Argentina. The exact kickoff time is still to be announced.
This date is later than last year’s final, which was held in Rio de Janeiro on November 4, primarily due to the scheduling of the 2024 Copa America impacting the domestic football season.
Final Venue for 2024 Copa Libertadores
The 2024 final is scheduled to occur at the Estadio Mas Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
If River Plate advances past Atletico Mineiro in the semifinals, they will have the chance to contest the final in their home stadium.
