WHAT STAGE IS THIS IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Before the group stage of the Libertadores begins, the competition will have three knockout rounds that will determine four teams for the main stage. In this context, among the Brazilians competing in the pre-Libertadores, Bahia and Botafogo will debut in this second knockout stage.

WHEN IS THE LIBERTADORES GROUP DRAW?

Right after the end of the second elimination phase, Conmebol will conduct the group draw for the Libertadores. Thus, on March 18, Flamengo, the current champion and seeded in Group A, will find out its opponents in the competition. It is worth noting that Mengão cannot face another Brazilian team in the initial phase unless the club comes from the preliminaries, like Bahia or Botafogo.
