Maracana in pole position for 2020 copa Libertadores final
October 15 – Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana stadium are favourites to stage the 2020 Copa Libertadores final ahead of Thursday’s decision by Conmebol on host venue.
This season Conmebol’s flagship club competition has changed to a one-off final rather than traditionally being played over the home and away legs. The thinking is to follow the commercial model of other major continental finals, like the Champions League in Europe. However, South America does not have a traveling culture among fans and the geographical and economic reality of the continent means that the new format of the final is a gamble for organisers.
