Thus, it will be the second time that the Monumental de Lima hosts the definition of the most important tournament on the continent, since in 2019 it was also the venue for the final that Flamengo from Brazil won against River Plate by 2 to 1, becoming champion. Additionally, it will also be the second occasion in which a venue is repeated (the Maracanã hosted the finals of 2020 and 2023),
The Monumental de Lima stadium has a capacity for 80,093 spectators, being the second largest in South America, only surpassed by the Monumental Más of River Plate, which can accommodate 85,018 people.

The venues of the single finals of the Libertadores
The single-match finals are something relatively new. The first time this modality was implemented was precisely in the 2019 edition, but the originally designated stadium had been the Monumental de Santiago de Chile. The change of venue to the Monumental de Lima was due to the social conflicts that affected the organization of the event.
