- South American soccer's governing body on Thursday condemned violence after three fans were arrested over a brawl in Rio de Janeiro ahead of the Copa Libertadores final between Argentina's Boca Juniors and Brazil's Fluminense.

"CONMEBOL calls on the fans of Boca Juniors and Fluminense to share together the moments of joy and celebration that our football gives us," the organisation said on its official X account. Police said local security agents intervened after seeing fans clash on the Copacabana beach fan fest. Locals said Argentine visitors were responsible for the violence, while Boca fans told Argentine media that Fluminense supporters arrived at the beach to carry out an organised attack before police fired tear gas and rubber bullets.
