Canceled final
On November 29, 2016, the final was canceled by the South American football association CONMEBOL because the Chapecoense team had crashed in the plane a few hours earlier and 19 players and 26 officials had died. Only three players survived, along with three other passengers, seriously injured in the crash.
Despite the cancellation of the final, the stadium in Medellín was full of seats. Atlético Nacional supporters sang the club anthem Semper Chapecó ( Forever Chapecó ) by Chapecoense. "It was 90 minutes of football atmosphere without a ball rolling, perhaps one of the greatest moments in recent sports history."
The final opponent Atlético Nacional announced that they would forego the title and demanded that it be given to Chapecoense instead as a "posthumous tribute" . The South American football association CONMEBOL declared Chapecoense the title holder on December 2, 2016.
