The South American football federation has suspended all games after a plane carrying a Brazilian football team Chapecoense crashed in Colombia.
The team was among 81 people on board when it came down on Monday night apparently due to electrical failure.
The federation, CONMEBOL, said its president, Alejandro Dominguez, was on his way to Medellin, near the crash site.
"All federation activities are suspended until further notice," it added in a statement on its website.
Chapecoense football club had been due to face Atletico Nacional of Medellin in the first leg of Wednesday's Sudamericana final.
It was the first time the small club had ever reached the final of a major South American club competition.
