Draw revealed: Boca face tough group, Estudiantes set to meet Flamengo | OneFootball

The draw was held in Paraguay and the teams now know their opponents. Boca leads a tough group and Estudiantes will face the reigning champion.

The groups for the 2026 Copa Libertadores have been drawn and Boca will lead Group D, labeled as the “group of death”, as they will have to face opponents who are used to competing in this tournament, such as Cruzeiro, Barcelona of Ecuador, and Universidad Católica.

The Xeneize will once again face the Brazilian side, with whom they shared a group in the 2024 Sudamericana, the last international tournament they played, since in 2025 they failed to reach the group stage of the continent’s most important competition.

For their part, Pincha won’t have it easy either, as not only will they be grouped with Flamengo, the reigning champion who eliminated them in the previous edition, but they will also have to play at the altitude of Cusco and face Independiente Medellín.

In Group C, Independiente Rivadavia will make their debut, facing Fluminense, and will also have to travel to La Paz, Bolivia to play against Bolívar and Deportivo La Guaira from Venezuela. Meanwhile, Platense was drawn into Group E in their first international tournament, which will be a real test as Peñarol, Corinthians, and Santa Fe seem like tough opponents.

Lanús, recent winner of the Recopa Sudamericana, will share a group with Liga de Quito, Always Ready, and Mirassol, the debuting Brazilian team. Finally, Rosario Central is in Group H with Independiente del Valle, Libertad, and Universidad Central of Venezuela.
