A Conmebol is expecting to define the matchups of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals from this Friday onwards. Additionally, the duels of the Copa Sul-Americana will also be defined in the same event. The drawing is scheduled to begin at 12h, Brasilia time, in Luque, Paraguay. The classification for the quarterfinals was defined last Thursday, with the leaders of the groups qualifying automatically, while the teams in second position will advance to the drawing.
The leaders of the Copa Libertadores groups will be included in the Pote 1, along with the best placed teams in second position. Meanwhile, the teams that advanced in the first two positions of the Copa Sul-Americana groups will be drawn from the Pole of Classification. In the case of the Copa Sul-Americana, only the teams that finished first will advance directly to the quarterfinals, with the teams that finished in second position in the groups competing, via playoff, with the teams that finished third in the Copa Libertadores groups. This classification is one of the few opportunities that teams have to advance to the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals, making it a crucial stage of the championship.
Additionally, the Copa Sul-Americana is a competition where the team that finishes first guarantees its passage to the quarterfinals, so the team that finishes second has its place contested in the return game against the third-placed team of the Copa Libertadores.
The Copa Libertadores is one of the most important club tournaments in South America, bringing together teams from various countries on the continent. The classification for the quarterfinals is the first important step for a team to reach the final and win the title, which is considered one of the most prestigious in South American football.
In the Copa Sul-Americana, things work a bit differently, where the teams that advance in the first two positions of the groups are eligible to play a return game with the Copa Libertadores teams that advanced in third place, this is all that the fan can expect from the competition, a truly exciting journey, with the best players from the continent, showing all their talents in a highly competitive game.
