2024 Copa Sudamericana group stage

The 2024 Copa Sudamericana group stage is played from 2 April to 30 May 2024.[1] A total of 32 teams compete in the group stage to decide 16 of the 24 places in the final stages of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana.[2]

Draw edit

The draw for the group stage was held on 18 March 2024, 20:00 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 group stage, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups (Groups A–H) of four containing a team from each of the four pots. The four losers of the Copa Libertadores third stage were seeded into Pot 4. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.
