As host confederation, CONMEBOL was in charge of the main organization of this edition.

At club Flamengo's initiative,[1] the match was played on 24 August 2024 at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between the Brazilian team Flamengo, the 2024 U-20 Copa Libertadores champions, and Greek team Olympiacos, the 2023–24 UEFA Youth League champions.[2][3]

Officials

[edit]

The officiating team was appointed by the CONMEBOL Referee Commission;[4] only referees in the FIFA International Referees List were eligible. On 19 August 2024, CONMEBOL announced the refereeing team with Venezuelan official Yender Herrera as the referee for the match.[5] Herrera is a FIFA referee since 2021.[6] He was joined by his fellow Venezuelans Alberto Ponte and Migdalia Rodríguez as assistant referees, while Ecuadorian Bryan Loayza was the fourth official. Carlos Orbe acted as the video assistant referee (VAR) and Mónica Amboya was the assistant VAR official (AVAR), both also from Ecuador.[7]

Squads

[edit]

Each team had to submit their list of 22 players (including at least two goalkeepers) to its respective confederation by 20 August 2024, 19:00 UTC−3 (BRT) or 24:00 UTC+2 (CEST), as appropriate. Only players born on or after 1 January 2004 were eligible to compete. Teams were permitted to make player replacements in cases of serious injuries up to 24 hours prior the start of the match, provided that it was approved by the CONMEBOL Chief Medical Officer and the team doctor concerned.

On 20 August 2024, Olympiacos announced a squad of 23 players with whom they travelled to Brazil.[8][9] Flamengo also announced a 23-man squad on 21 August 2024.[10][11]
