The Copa Libertadores da América is probably the biggest and most important continental football competition held in South America. The competition, organized by the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) since 1960, brings together the best South American football clubs to play or title in South America.
In this competition, we witness the presence of the two main champions of the continent, who compete in several different phases until they reach the grand final. In the first phase, the tournament is divided into groups, each of which contains five teams. From that day on, the top two teams in each group will advance to the round of 16, which will be played in home and away matches.
In the next phase, the Australian teams reach the championship, being the best ranked team by one of the Australians. Then, the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals are played, which are also performed with round trips.
Who wins the title, in addition to taking a trophy, also has the opportunity to win the FIFA Club World Cup, which takes place annually. In addition, the winning team will also represent South America in the following year's CONCACAF Libertadores Cup.
