2022 Copa Libertadores Ceremony
What a show!

Over the past few weeks, a team of about 200 people worked to create the opening and award ceremony of the 2022 Copa Libertadores Final. Production staff, technicians, dancers and performers contributed to bringing this great event to the stage: a highly engaging show designed around football, its rituals and fans to celebrate Copa Libertadores’ uniqueness. The show was opened by the performance of a dance crew who, from the centre of the playing field - decorated with the logos of the two finalist teams and giant branded helium balloons - gave life to a performance dedicated to the world of soccer in an engaging choreography, that culminated with the unveiling of the Libertadores Cup to the entire audience on the central stage.

Despite the change in conditions (a new stadium, a different country and new providers), not to mention the short time period to reorganise the event, a spectacular show was held on the occasion, created and produced by Filmmaster Events in collaboration with Touché, involving over 300 people including cast, staging, with dancers, percussionists and the four South American stars Fito Paez, Anitta Sebastian Yatra and Tini, who entertained the audience and fans. The ceremony led spectators along an emotional journey dedicated to the celebrated "hinchas", the most passionate South American football-fan communities, before culminating in the unveiling of the prestigious Copa Libertadores.
