We have a final! The Copa Libertadores Femenina 2021 is already in its final stretch. We just need to define the champions, who will come out of the clash between Cotinthians vs. Independiente Santa Fe. The fight for the title will take place on Sunday, November 21st at the Gran Parque Central stadium in the city of Montevideo.
In addition, the match will have a historic event, as it will be the first women's football match to feature the implementation of VAR. It will even be the first time that a football clash has an all-female refereeing team.
