Chilean capital Santiago has been chosen as the host city for next year's Copa Libertadores final, South American football's governing body CONMEBOL has said.
The November 23 match at Estadio Nacional will mark the first time that the decider of the continent's top club competition will be played over a single leg, reports Xinhua news agency.
"Finals over one leg provide a great opportunity for clubs to improve their sporting infrastructure, organization of events, security and comfort for fans," CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez said on Tuesday.
