Final in Lima highlights warning: Fans may be turned away even for wearing a belt
The 2025 Copa Libertadores final between Palmeiras and Flamengo is set to take place at Lima’s Monumental stadium on November 29, 2025. As game day approaches, Peruvian authorities have implemented strict security measures to ensure a safe environment for fans.
Strict Security Measures Ahead of Libertadores Final
Fans attending the match will face rigorous controls at the stadium. Authorities have adopted a zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol consumption. Any individual displaying signs of intoxication will be denied entry.
This enforcement reflects practices from previous events, including the South American final where fans were turned away for alcohol-related issues.
Prohibited Items at the Monumental Stadium
Several unusual prohibitions have been instituted specifically for the sections occupied by Flamengo and Palmeiras supporters. The following items are banned:
- Cinches of any kind, particularly in safety zones behind the goals.
- Poles for flags; only handheld flags measuring up to 2 m x 1.5 m without poles will be allowed.
- Percussion instruments; only those with transparent membranes are permitted.
- Banners limited to 1 meter in height, with a requirement of five meters in spacing between each.
- Any psychotropic substances, smoke bombs, and offensive messages.
Additionally, items that could serve as sharp or blunt weapons are strictly prohibited. Security personnel at the stadium have the authority to confiscate any dangerous objects.
Traffic Considerations for Attendees
Traveling to the Monumental stadium can be challenging due to heavy traffic common during major events. Fans traveling from neighborhoods such as Miraflores and San Isidro should plan for over an hour of travel time.
Authorities have established a security perimeter four kilometers from the stadium, enhancing the screening process for attendees. As excitement builds for the showdown between these two Brazilian teams, fans are reminded of the heightened security protocols and the importance of adhering to the regulations to ensure they gain entry to the match.
