Palmeiras and Estudiantes meet in the Copa Libertadores final on 28 November
Preview
The Copa Libertadores is South America’s Champions League. This year’s final is a single match at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo on Saturday 28 November.
Palmeiras, from São Paulo, face Estudiantes de La Plata, from Argentina. Conmebol, the continental confederation, set a 17:00 Brasília-time kickoff, according to DGABC and O Liberal.
Both semi-finals went to penalties: Estudiantes beat Flamengo, and Palmeiras beat Fluminense.
History adds spice. Palmeiras lost last year’s final to Flamengo and have won the trophy in 1999, 2020 and 2021. Estudiantes won in 2009 and are seeking a fifth title.

Feature
Palmeiras and Estudiantes have met in only one previous Libertadores final. That was in 1968, when Estudiantes won a deciding playoff 2-0 at the same Estadio Centenario.
The Centenario is Uruguay’s national stadium and a famous venue in world football. Estudiantes will hope the old result is a good omen.
For Palmeiras, the task is to shake off last year’s defeat by Flamengo. A win would give them a fourth continental crown.
Atlético Mineiro v Boca Juniors decides the Copa Sudamericana in Barranquilla
Preview
The Sudamericana is South America’s second-tier club competition, behind the Libertadores. The final is on Saturday 21 November at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in Barranquilla, Colombia.
Conmebol confirmed a 17:30 Colombian-time kickoff, according to Publimetro and Primicias. An earlier report that no time had been announced is out of date.
Atlético Mineiro, from Belo Horizonte, and Boca Juniors, from Buenos Aires, both came through their semi-finals.
Mineiro lost last year’s final to Lanús on penalties. Boca are chasing a third Sudamericana title.
Argentina’s coach is reportedly set to stay until 2030
Football
Argentina are set to keep Lionel Scaloni as coach until 2030, under a deal first reported on 21 October; a formal signing has not been confirmed. Scaloni led the team to the 2022 World Cup title.
If confirmed, the deal gives Argentina a rare stretch of stability. It would mean a long run for a coach who already knows the squad well.
