Key facts you need to know about the 2026 final
Boca earned the first‑leg advantage by edging Vasco da Gama 3‑2 on aggregate. They fell 1‑0 at La Bombonera, then rebounded with a 3‑1 win at Rio’s Maracanã. Meanwhile, Atlético Mineiro eliminated Montevideo City Torque 3‑2, after a 3‑0 home victory and a 2‑0 loss in Uruguay’s return leg.
For my money, Boca’s rich Sudamericana pedigree makes them a clear favorite. The La Boca side reaches a continental final for the first time in three years, after a 2023 Libertadores exit at the Maracanã. Their last South American trophy came in the 2007 Libertadores, but they rank among the competition’s most successful clubs with two Sudamericana crowns, alongside Liga de Quito and Independiente del Valle.
In the season’s closing stretch, Boca eyes a break in a three‑year title drought, having last lifted the Supercopa Argentina on 1 March 2023. Besides the Sudamericana, they sit in the Copa Argentina semifinals (vs Banfield on 14 Nov), lead the 2026 Annual Table, and sit in the Clausura’s top eight. A league title would also secure a spot in the Campeones Trophy, potentially capping the year with five honors.
Atlético Mineiro, coached by Eduardo Domínguez, will miss forward Alan Franco after his red card in the previous match. The Brazilian side has never won a Sudamericana and fell in the 2025 final to Granate. After a 2024 Libertadores knockout loss to Botafogo at the Monumental, they now face back‑to‑back continental final defeats.
