ASUNCION (Reuters) - The Copa Libertadores soccer final between Argentine rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors will take place in early December outside of Argentina after fan violence forced the match to be postponed last week, organizers said on Tuesday.

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said in a statement that the game - the South American equivalent of the Champions League final in Europe - should be played on Dec. 8 or Dec. 9, but did not specify an alternative location.
