Chapecoense awarded Copa Sudamericana title one week after devastating plane crash
South American soccer's governing body awarded Brazilian club Chapecoense the Copa Sudamericana title one week after a tragic plane crash killed 19 members of the team while en route to play the tournament final.
In a statement released Monday, CONMEBOL called awarding the title to Chapacoense "a posthumous homage to the victims of the fatal crash that leaves our sport in mourning."

A charter jet carrying the Chapecoense team to Colombia for the first leg of the two-match final crashed into a hillside near Medellín last Monday night. The plane reportedly ran out of fuel.
Nineteen players were killed, and the final was canceled. The soccer world at large reacted with heartbreak as tributes poured in from all corners of the globe.
Last Wednesday, when Chapecoense and Atletico Nacional were supposed to be facing off in the first match of their two-leg Copa Sudamericana final, Fox Sports Brazil instead aired 90 minutes of silence.

It also qualifies for next season's Copa Libertadores, the South America's top international competition for club teams (the Copa Sudamericana is the continent's second-tier international club tournament).
Chapecoense is expected to field a team next year made up of players loaned from other clubs as it continues to rebuild following last week's devastating crash.
