Palmeiras and Estudiantes will contest the Copa Libertadores final at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo on November 28. FIFA lists kick-off at 17:00 local time, which is 03:00 on November 29 in Vietnam.
The champions will qualify for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2026 and FIFA Club World Cup 2029, adding two international opportunities to the continental title.
Suspension and fitness decisions
Estudiantes midfielder Baltasar Rodriguez is suspended following his dismissal in the semi-final second leg against Flamengo. Palmeiras have no suspended players but are awaiting fitness updates on Paulinho, with a groin issue, and Ramon Sosa, with a thigh issue.
FIFA's possible Palmeiras line-up includes Carlos Miguel in goal, defenders Murilo, Gustavo Gomez and Alexander Barboza, and attacking options Jhon Arias and Flaco Lopez. For Estudiantes, Fernando Muslera is the proposed goalkeeper, with Javier Correa and Guido Carrillo among the forward options and Tiago Palacios offering support.
These are pre-match possibilities; the official starting selections are still to follow.
Extra time before penalties
A draw after 90 minutes takes the final into extra time. A penalty shootout follows if the teams remain level. Supporters in Vietnam should therefore allow for a longer morning viewing window.
FIFA's title list credits Estudiantes with four Libertadores crowns and Palmeiras with three. Both teams are set to wear their first-choice colours: green shirts for Palmeiras and red-and-white stripes for Estudiantes.
Fitness updates and the confirmed line-ups are the next practical information before the final and its two FIFA qualification prizes are decided.
