Boca, take note: when and what time is the Sudamericana last-16 draw | OneFootball

With the playoff matchups now fully set, CONMEBOL will draw the final Copa Sudamericana bracket, and Boca will have to pay very close attention. Everything you need to know about the schedule and which teams make up the pots that will determine the Xeneize’s future if they advance.

After a tough elimination in the Copa Libertadores group stage, having finished third in Group D, the Xeneize side will now have to play in the Copa Sudamericana round of 32.

With the group stage of both competitions now over, the teams already know their starting point. Eight teams already have a place in the round of 16, while others, like the team from La Ribera, will have to go through an earlier round. Now, the fate of the matchups will be left to chance.

Boca will have to get past O'Higgins to qualify for the round of 16.

Although Boca must first get through its tough round-of-32 tie against Chile’s O'Higgins, this draw is vital for the Xeneize: this is where it will be determined exactly which side of the bracket they will be placed on and who their opponent would be in the next round if they qualify.

Date and time of the draw

The official event will take place today, Friday, May 29, at the South American Football Confederation headquarters in Luque, Paraguay.

The ceremony that will set up the round of 16 will begin at 12:00 p.m. (Paraguay local time), which means it will be at the same time in Argentina.

Where Boca stands

The draw format is straightforward. Pot 1 contains the eight teams that won their respective Copa Sudamericana groups. These teams will play the second leg of their round-of-16 ties at home.

In Pot 2 are the winners of the playoff ties (where the Xeneize’s matchup is included). In the round of 16, a team from Pot 1 must face a team from Pot 2, which opens the door to a possible early Superclásico.

Everything is ready for the tournament’s definitive map to be drawn. The club from La Ribera will keep one eye on the draw, knowing that the first must-take step will be to come up strong in July against the Chileans, and they will have nearly two months to prepare.
