(CNN Spanish) - The final of the Copa Libertadores between Flamengo and River Plate will be in Lima on November 23. This was decided by Conmebol on Tuesday after deliberating considering the protests in Santiago, Chile, the original headquarters of the party.
“New circumstances of force majeure and public order, analyzed and evaluated with prudence, considering the safety of the players, the public and the delegations, motivated the decision to take the final of the Copa Libertadores 2019 to Lima, Peru, and maintain the date of November 23, ”says Conmebol in a statement.
They add that the election is based on the offer of the Peruvian government and the security guarantees they have given.
"Conmebol strongly thanks the government of Chile for the active collaboration provided by the various public distributions for the correct organization of the Single Final of the Liberators 2019. We wish the Chilean people and their authorities peace and goodwill."
A year ago the final between Boca Juniors and River Plate was played, after several weeks of postponement, in Madrid. River Plate is the current champion.
