The CONMEBOL president, Alejandro Domínguez added “By signing this renewal and expansion of our Memorandum of Understanding we are laying the foundation for this fluent cooperation to grow and develop further.”

In 1985 France beat Uruguay 2-0 in Paris and then eight years later Argentina took down Denmark in penalties on their home turf.

How does the Finalissima work?

The Finalissima is a one off match that will be played over 90 minutes.

There is no extra time during the match so if the game is still tied at the end of the regulation time then it will go straight to penalties.

Who are the teams competing?
