Lanús, the champion of the Copa Sudamericana, hosts Flamengo, the winner of the latest Copa Libertadores, in the Recopa Sudamericana, a match that will determine the champion of champions in South America. Scheduled for 21.30 at the Estadio Ciudad de Lanús, also known as La Fortaleza Granate, the game will be broadcasted live on ESPN and Disney +, with the return leg set to take place in a week at the famous Maracanã Stadium in Brazil.

Lanús arrives at the final with a strong performance in 2025, having crowned itself champion in the Copa Sudamericana and qualifying for the Copa Libertadores. Under the guidance of coach Mauricio Pellegrino, Lanús has begun the Liga Profesional Apertura tournament impressively, winning two matches and drawing two, although they suffered a defeat in their last game against Independiente de Avellaneda as they rested key players for the crucial encounter with Flamengo.

Flamengo approaches this match with high hopes, strengthened by the recent signing of Lucas Paquetá, marking a significant investment in South American football. As the reigning kings of America, Flamengo eliminated Botafogo in the quarter-finals leading up to this matchup with Lanús, and the team will be looking to capitalize on their robust squad and previous successes to secure victory in the Recopa, further solidifying their status in South American football.
