The tournament took place in Luque, Paraguay, between 14 and 21 September 2019,[2] and was organised by CONMEBOL in cooperation with the host association, the Paraguayan Football Association (APF).[3] It was originally scheduled to take place from 13–20 October 2019 but a change of dates was announced on 13 June.[4]

Brazilians Vitória were the defending champions but were eliminated at the group stage, ultimately finishing 10th. The title was won by fellow Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, who claimed their third title at the fourth attempt.[5]

Format edit

As per Regulations Article 15, the competition format consists of two phases: the Preliminary phase (Group phase) and the Final phase.[3]

  1. Group phase: The 12 teams are drawn into three groups of four teams; in each group all teams compete in a round robin format. The group winners, runners-up and two best third placed teams advance to the quarter-finals of the final stage.
  2. Final phase: The Final phase consists of three knockout rounds (the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final) and consolations rounds (the nations knocked out of title winning contention play in a series of classification matches to decide fifth through twelfth place). All matches in the final stage are played in a knockout format.

Teams edit

Twelve teams qualified to take part; each of the domestic league champions (or champions of specific Copa Libertadores qualification tournaments) from the ten South American nations which are members of CONMEBOL, plus an additional club from the host country and the defending champions.[3]

Draw edit

The draw to split the twelve teams into three groups of four took place on 20 August 2019 at 12:00 PYT (UTC–3) in Luque, Paraguay at the headquarters of the Paraguayan Football Association.[19] The draw was conducted based on Regulations Article 16 as follows:[3][20]

Initially, three teams were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups (Vitória automatically to Group A, the others via a draw from pot 1):

The remaining nine teams were split into three pots of three based on the final placement of their national association's club in the previous edition of the championship, with the highest three (Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia) placed in Pot 2, the next three (Colombia, Peru and Chile) placed in Pot 3 and the lowest two (Venezuela and Ecuador) in pot 4, alongside the additional Paraguayan club. From each pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A, the second team drawn placed into Group B and the final team drawn placed into Group C. Clubs from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.
