Conmebol unveils new ranking: Brazilian dominance 🇧🇷 see top 30 | OneFootball

Conmebol released the NEW club ranking this Monday (15th) and highlighted the Brazilian dominance in South American football.

Palmeiras is the leader of the ranking. Flamengo is in second place. Atlético-MG (sixth) and São Paulo (seventh) are also in the Top 10.

Fluminense (11th), Athletico (12th), Inter (13th), Grêmio (14th), Botafogo (19th), Corinthians (22nd), Santos (27th), and Cruzeiro (29th) follow next.

The Conmebol club ranking takes into account recent performances in South American tournaments.

That’s why Athletico (champion of the Sudamericana in 2018 and 2021 and Libertadores runner-up in 2022), for example, is in 12th place.

And this ranking is used, among other reasons, to determine the seedings for the Libertadores and Sudamericana draws.

With the new ranking, pot 1 of the Libertadores should include Palmeiras, Fla, Boca, Peñarol, Nacional-URU, LDU, Flu, and Del Valle.

These teams are guaranteed—at least in theory—an easier path in the group stage of the Libertadores.
