Venue

The Estadio Monumental in Lima hosted the final.

On 28 April 2025, Lima was announced as the host city for the final match of the 2025 Copa Libertadores at a stadium to be confirmed, following an application made by the Peruvian Football Federation. ^[4] The appointment was confirmed after a meeting between the president of CONMEBOL Alejandro Domínguez and the president of Peru Dina Boluarte, who stated that the Peruvian government would commit to providing the necessary guarantees for the event to take place. ^[5]

On 11 August 2025, CONMEBOL confirmed Estadio Monumental as the venue for the final match. ^[1] This will be the fourth Copa Libertadores final to be played in the Peruvian capital and the second to be played at Estadio Monumental after the 2019 one, in which Brazilian club Flamengo defeated Argentine side River Plate. ^[6]
