The 2024 Copa Sudamericana final will be the final match which will decide the winner of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana. This is the 23rd edition of the Copa Sudamericana, the second-tier South American continental club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

The match will be played by Argentine club Racing and Brazilian side Cruzeiro on 23 November 2024 at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas in Asunción, Paraguay.[1]

The winners of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2024 Copa Libertadores in the 2025 Recopa Sudamericana. They will also automatically qualify for the 2025 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Venue

[edit]

On 10 April 2024, CONMEBOL announced the cities selected to host the finals of the 2024 and 2025 Copa Sudamericana editions, with Asunción being appointed for the 2024 final at a stadium to be confirmed.[2] Shortly afterwards, the confederation confirmed that it would invest funds on improvements to the infrastructure of stadiums that had been put forward as potential hosts for the finals of the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana, which in the latter's case were Estadio Defensores del Chaco, Estadio General Pablo Rojas (also known as "La Nueva Olla"), Estadio Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb, and Estadio La Huerta.[3]

On 7 October 2024, CONMEBOL president Alejandro Domínguez confirmed Estadio General Pablo Rojas as the venue for the final match. This will be the second Copa Sudamericana final to be played at the stadium, after the 2019 one in which Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle defeated Colón from Argentina.[1]
