(Reuters) - Uruguay has been chosen to host the finals of South America’s two premier club competitions this year because of its advanced COVID-19 vaccination program, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said on Thursday.

The Copa Libertadores, the continent’s equivalent of the Champions League, will be held at Montevideo's Centenario stadium on Nov. 20, while the Copa Sudamericana, much like the Europa League, will take place there on Nov. 6.

The decision comes just days after the Uruguayan government helped CONMEBOL secure 50,000 doses of the vaccine to give to players and officials expected to participate in next month's Copa America.
