2025 Conmebol Libertadores

A carpet never seen before

On November 29th, Lima was set the stage for an unforgettable night of football and celebration, inspired by the concept “football is magic”. A giant image unfolding at the heart of the Monumental Stadium, once again turning Lima into a place where football becomes emotion, ritual, and pure magic. The carpet takes on a new life, an image reimagined to deepen its bond with the teams. A single, powerful canvas that carries their identity, their colors, their heros. Because in this stadium, everything starts with the fans. Their voices, their chants, their colors flow into the show, becoming part of it and shaping it. They’re not watching the ceremony, they’re inside it.

What a show!

Over the past few weeks, a team of about 200 people worked to create the opening and award ceremony of the 2022 Copa Libertadores Final. Production staff, technicians, dancers and performers contributed to bringing this great event to the stage: a highly engaging show designed around football, its rituals and fans to celebrate Copa Libertadores’ uniqueness. The show was opened by the performance of a dance crew who, from the centre of the playing field - decorated with the logos of the two finalist teams and giant branded helium balloons - gave life to a performance dedicated to the world of soccer in an engaging choreography, that culminated with the unveiling of the Libertadores Cup to the entire audience on the central stage.

The first single match final in the Conmebol Libertadores’ history

Despite the change in conditions (a new stadium, a different country and new providers), not to mention the short time period to reorganise the event, a spectacular show was held on the occasion, created and produced by Filmmaster Events in collaboration with Touché, involving over 300 people including cast, staging, with dancers, percussionists and the four South American stars Fito Paez, Anitta Sebastian Yatra and Tini, who entertained the audience and fans. The ceremony led spectators along an emotional journey dedicated to the celebrated "hinchas", the most passionate South American football-fan communities, before culminating in the unveiling of the prestigious Copa Libertadores.
