Venue
editOn 13 February 2024, the Argentine Football Association announced through its social media accounts that CONMEBOL had selected Buenos Aires as the host city for the final match of the 2024 Copa Libertadores, at a stadium to be confirmed.[2] From 26 to 30 May 2024, a delegation from CONMEBOL visited three stadiums that were shortlisted to host the event, which were Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, Estadio Libertadores de América in Avellaneda, and Estadio Único Diego Armando Maradona in La Plata to evaluate technical aspects of the stadiums and visit potential training centers and accommodation sites for the finalist teams.[3]
On 4 October 2024, CONMEBOL confirmed Estadio Monumental as the venue for the final match.[1] This will be the first Copa Libertadores final to be hosted in Argentina since the finals have been played as single matches, as well as the eighth time that a Copa Libertadores final will be played at the stadium.[4]
