Brazilian club Chapecoense, who lost most of their players in an air crash, have been awarded the Copa Sudamericana championship by the governing body of South American football.
Nineteen of Chapecoense's players were killed in the crash just outside Medellin, Colombia, last week as the team headed to the first of two matches against Colombian club Atletico Nacional to determine the champion of the Copa Sudamericana, Latin America's No.2 club tournament.
As the winner, Chapecoense qualify automatically for next season's Copa Libertadores, the continent's top tournament.
This also means Chapecoense will face Atletico Nacional - the defending Copa Libertadores champion - in an emotion-charged two-game series in 2017 between the continent's two club champions.
Chapecoesne are likely to field a team of borrowed players from other clubs.
