The tournament took place in Iquique, Chile, between 18 and 25 June 2023, and was organised by CONMEBOL in cooperation with the host association, the Football Federation of Chile (FFC).[1] It was the first edition of the Copa Libertadores to take place since 2019, after both the 2020 and 2021 editions were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in South America;[2][3] this edition itself was also delayed due to the pandemic,[4] originally scheduled for 26 November to 4 December 2022,[5] then 7 to 14 May 2023,[6] and finally the actual dates the tournament took place.

Brazilians Vasco da Gama were the defending champions but were eliminated at the quarter-finals stage, ultimately finishing fifth. The title was won by Paraguayan club Presidente Hayes, who claimed their first title, also becoming the first non-Brazilian club to win the championship.[7][8][9]

Format edit

As per Regulations Article 15, the competition format consists of two phases: the Preliminary phase (Group phase) and the Final phase.[1]

  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;[10][11][12] 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.[13]

Each team had to submit a squad of 12 players, including a minimum of two goalkeepers (Regulations Article 46).[1]

Draw edit

The draw to split the twelve teams into three groups of four took place on 8 May 2023 at 12:00 PYT (UTC–3) in Luque, Paraguay at the headquarters of CONMEBOL.[10] The draw was conducted based on Regulations Article 17 as follows:[1]

Initially, three teams were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups (Vasco da Gama 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 (Paraguay, Argentina and Venezuela) placed in Pot 2, the next three (Colombia, Bolivia and Peru) placed in Pot 3 and the lowest two (Uruguay and Ecuador) in Pot 4, alongside the additional Chilean 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.

The composition of the Pots was as follows:

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4
  •   Sampaio Corrêa
  •   Alto Hospicio
  •   Utrahuilca
  •   Enabolco
  •   Tito Drago
