Conmebol draws Libertadores last-16 on Friday (29): Palmeiras rivals | OneFootball

Palmeiras already know the eight possible opponents they could face in the Copa Libertadores round of 16 (see below). The draw will take place next Friday (29), starting at 12 p.m., when Conmebol will hold the knockout stage draw.

The win over Junior Barranquilla this Thursday secured Verdão’s qualification for the next round, but in second place in Group F. The group winners were Cerro Porteño of Paraguay.

The draw will be open, with no restrictions regarding countries or teams that have already faced each other in the group stage. The only rule is that the teams in Pot 1, made up of the group winners, must face clubs from Pot 2, which is made up of the runners-up — including Palmeiras.

In addition, the teams that advanced in first place will have the advantage of playing the second leg at home.

The Libertadores will pause for about two months due to the 2026 World Cup. The first-leg round-of-16 matches are scheduled to take place between August 11 and 13, while the second-leg matches will be played between August 18 and 20.
