Boca Juniors and Atlético Mineiro face off in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana final on Saturday, November 21
The 2026 Copa Sudamericana final now has a venue, protagonists and a kickoff time: Boca Juniors and Atlético Mineiro will face off on Saturday, November 21 at 5:30 PM EST in Barranquilla, Colombia. The Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez will host a continental final for the first time in its history.
For the Xeneize, the match represents a chance to end an 18-year international drought and lift their third Copa Sudamericana, after the titles won in 2004 and 2005. The road to get here was anything but easy: Boca qualified by beating Vasco da Gama 3-1 at the Maracaná, overturning the 1-0 first-leg deficit and closing out the series with a 3-2 aggregate score. The man of the night was Leandro Paredes, who came on in the 57th minute after recovering from a muscle tear and scored in the 88th to avoid penalties and spark the celebrations.
On the other side, Atlético Mineiro arrive with a different story: they advanced despite losing 2-0 to Montevideo City Torque, thanks to the 3-0 win in the first leg in Belo Horizonte, which allowed them to prevail 3-2 on aggregate. The Brazilian side will be chasing their first Copa Sudamericana title, after losing the 2024 Libertadores and 2025 Sudamericana finals, two tough blows that still hurt at the Mineirão.
