🧐 Draw on Friday! See who’s through to the Libertadores last 16 | OneFootball

The Conmebol Libertadores 2026 group stage officially came to an end this Thursday (28).

Palmeiras and Cruzeiro did their “homework” and advanced to the round of 16 with big wins over Junior Barranquilla (4-1) and Barcelona de Guayaquil (4-0), respectively.

The Brazilian “party” was not complete only because Cerro Porteño and Universidad Católica also beat Sporting Cristal and Boca Juniors, respectively, and advanced in first place in their groups.

That means everything is set for the draw organized by Conmebol at the entity’s headquarters in Luque, Paraguay, this Friday (29), starting at 12 p.m. (Brasília time), which will determine the round of 16 matchups in the Libertadores.

The teams that qualified in first place will be in Pot 1 and will face those in Pot 2, in other words, the teams that advanced in second place.

There are no restrictions whatsoever on the matchups, except that a team from Pot 1 must face one from Pot 2.

Flamengo were the overall top seed and will always play the second leg at home until the semifinals. The other Pot 1 teams will also play the return legs on their home grounds.

The teams that finished in third place will play a playoff against the teams that finished second in their groups in the Copa Sudamericana to decide who advances to the tournament’s round of 16.
