In November, 19 members of the Brazilian team died in an air crash outside Medellin as they travelled to play Nacional in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final. Out of 77 passengers, 71 died in the incident, including players, journalists, and club officials.
Chapecoense says they will play at 22,000-seat Arena Conda in southern Brazil in the first leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.
The tragedy made Atletico Nacional pronounce Chapecoense as champions, and the South American confederation agreed.
The Recopa Sudamericana is between the champions of the Copa Sudamericana and the Copa Libertadores.
