From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 Copa Libertadores qualifying stages were played from 6 February to 14 March 2024.[1] A total of 19 teams competed in the qualifying stages to decide four of the 32 places in the group stage of the 2024 Copa Libertadores.[2]

Draw

[edit]

The draw for the qualifying stages was held on 19 December 2023, 12:00 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.[3][4]

Teams were seeded by their CONMEBOL Clubs ranking as of 18 December 2023 (shown in parentheses),[5] taking into account the following three factors:[6]

  1. Performance in the last 10 years, taking into account Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana results in the period 2014–2023.
  2. Historical coefficient, taking into account Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana results in the period 1960–2013 and 2002–2013 respectively.
  3. Local tournament champion, with bonus points awarded to domestic league champions of the last 10 years.

For the first stage, the six teams were drawn into three ties (E1–E3), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg.[7]

First stage draw
Pot 1 Pot 2
  1. † The identity of the team Bolivia 4 was not known at the time the pots were announced and it was seeded in Pot 2.

For the second stage, the 16 teams were drawn into eight ties (C1–C8), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie, excluding the three winners of the first stage, which were seeded in Pot 2 and whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, and could be drawn into the same tie with another team from the same association.[7]

Second stage draw
Pot 1 Pot 2

For the third stage, the eight winners of the second stage were allocated without any draw into the following four ties (G1–G4), with the team in each tie with the higher CONMEBOL ranking hosting the second leg.[7]

  • Second stage winner C1 vs. Second stage winner C8
  • Second stage winner C2 vs. Second stage winner C7
  • Second stage winner C3 vs. Second stage winner C6
  • Second stage winner C4 vs. Second stage winner C5

Format

[edit]

In the qualifying stages, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, extra time would not be played, and a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 2.4.3).[2]

Bracket

[edit]

The qualifying stages are structured as follows:

  • First stage (6 teams): The three winners of the first stage advance to the second stage to join the 13 teams which are given byes to the second stage.
  • Second stage (16 teams): The eight winners of the second stage advance to the third stage.
  • Third stage (8 teams): The four winners of the third stage advance to the group stage to join the 28 direct entrants. The four teams eliminated in the third stage enter the Copa Sudamericana group stage.

The bracket was decided based on the first stage draw and second stage draw, which was held on 19 December 2023.
