The 2023 Copa Sudamericana final was the final match which decided the winner of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana. This was the 22nd edition of the Copa Sudamericana, the second-tier South American continental club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

Contents

The match was played on 28 October 2023 between Brazilian club Fortaleza and Ecuadorian club LDU Quito, and it was originally scheduled to be played at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay, [1] but on 15 September 2023, Estadio Domingo Burgueño in Maldonado was confirmed as the venue for the final. [2]

LDU Quito were the champions, winning their second title in the competition after defeating Fortaleza 4–3 on penalties following a 1–1 draw after extra time in the final. [3] As winners of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana, LDU Quito earned the right to play against the winners of the 2023 Copa Libertadores in the 2024 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2024 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Venue

Original host selection

Although in January 2023 CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez had expressed an intention to hold the final match at Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in Brasília in compensation for the 2022 final that could not be played at that stadium as originally planned due to the 2022 Brazilian general election, [4] Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay was selected as the host for the 2023 final by CONMEBOL during their meeting on 25 April 2023. The stadium had previously hosted the 2021 finals of both the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana, with the latter sparking criticism due to the poor attendance as less than a third of the stadium's capacity was filled by the fans. [5] [6]

Relocation to Maldonado

On 15 September 2023, the CONMEBOL president announced a relocation of the final to the Estadio Domingo Burgueño in Maldonado, Uruguay. [2] A request from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to not hold the match in Montevideo on safety grounds as well as an attempt to avoid the low attendance levels of previous finals were considered to be the reasons behind the move. [7]
