The Copa Sudamericana is the second most important club competition in South America , only behind the Copa Libertadores . The tournament was born in 2002 when CONMEBOL reorganized the calendar for the second semester. It replaced the Mercosur Cup, the Merconorte Cup and the CONMEBOL Cup . The Brazilian teams did not contest the first edition. Between 2005 and 2008 he had CONCACAF clubs as guests.

Since the 2021 season, its structure underwent major changes. Until then, they faced teams in direct knockout round trips from the first to the last round. In that year, a group stage was incorporated into the format, to which all the participants from Argentina and Brazil are directly classified. The best two in each group advance to the round of 16. The title is decided by a single party in a neutral venue designated by CONMEBOL. The champion qualifies for the next edition of the Copa Libertadores, for the Recopa Sudamericana , for the event formerly known as Suruga Bank and also obtains a place in the new FIFA Club World Cup .
