Postponed Libertadores final will be played outside Argentina -CONEMBOL

The Copa Libertadores soccer final between River Plate and Boca Juniors will take place on December 8 or 9 and will be played outside Argentina after crowd trouble forced the game to be postponed last week, organizers said on Tuesday.

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said in a statement that the game should not be played in Buenos Aires, but did not specify an alternative location.

"It will be played outside Argentina because the conditions do not exist for the game to be played in Argentina," Conmebol President Alejandro Dominguez told a news conference, following a meeting with representatives of River and Boca.

After drawing the first leg 2-2, Argentina's two biggest clubs were due to have met in the decisive second leg on Saturday at River’s Monumental stadium but the match was called off after several Boca players were hurt when their coach was attacked by River fans.
