WHAT STAGE IS THIS IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Before the group stage of the Libertadores begins, the competition will have three knockout rounds to determine four teams for the main stage. In this context, among the Brazilian teams competing in the Libertadores qualifiers, Bahia and Botafogo are making their debut in this second knockout round.

WHEN IS THE LIBERTADORES GROUP DRAW?

Right after the end of the second qualifying round, Conmebol will hold the group stage draw for the Libertadores. Thus, on March 18th, Flamengo, the current champion and top seed of Group A, will find out its opponents in the competition. It’s worth noting that Mengão cannot face another Brazilian team in the initial stage, unless the club comes from the preliminary rounds, such as Bahia or Botafogo.
