The recent draw for the 2023 Copa Sudamericana favored Universitario de Deportes, who will play the preliminary phase of the tournament against Cienciano in Lima, thus avoiding the altitude of Cusco.
However, although it is already confirmed that the match will be in Lima, it is still necessary to define the venue where 'U' will receive 'Papá'.
Remember that this year, the 'crema' team played Phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores against Barcelona SC, and CONMEBOL did not allow them to play at home in the Monumental Stadium because the lighting system did not meet the requirements.
Therefore, Universitario had to face the Ecuadorian team at the Estadio Nacional for the maximum continental club tournament. Will the same situation be repeated?
For now, the club's social media accounts have reported that the match will be held at the Estadio Monumental in March 2023.
When will Universitario vs. Cienciano play for the Copa Sudamericana?
The match between Universitario and Cienciano, for the first phase of the Copa Sudamericana, will be played between the 8th and 10th of March 2023.
