Can you feel the buzz? The football fiesta in Barranquilla is just days away as the Copa Sudamericana final sees Boca Juniors face Club Atlético Mineiro, both having shone all season and eager to lift the trophy.
The showdown is set for Nov 21, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. Colombian time at the Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in Barranquilla. Tickets went on sale weeks ago, and fans from abroad are already converging for the spectacle.

The 2026 Copa Sudamericana champion will receive $10 billion, and the question now is: will the prize keep climbing in future editions?
Months of planning have turned the final into a high‑profile event, showcasing Argentine and Brazilian clubs in Barranquilla’s brand‑new Metropolitano stadium. The winner will also walk away with a jaw‑dropping cash prize.
The CONMEBOL Sudamericana champion will pocket $10 billion – just over 32 billion Colombian pesos. In my view, this unprecedented purse will reshape South American club finances. It surpasses the 2025 award of $6.5 million by a huge margin.
