The 2022 Copa Libertadores qualifying stages were played from 8 February to 17 March 2022.[1] A total of 19 teams competed in the qualifying stages to decide four of the 32 places in the group stage of the 2022 Copa Libertadores.[2]

Draw

edit

The draw for the qualifying stages was held on 20 December 2021, 12:00 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.[3][4]

Teams were seeded by their CONMEBOL Clubs ranking as of 16 December 2021 (shown in parentheses),[5] taking into account the following three factors:[6]

  1. Performance in the last 10 years, taking into account Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana results in the period 2012–2021.
  2. Historical coefficient, taking into account Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana results in the period 1960–2011 and 2002–2011 respectively.
  3. Local tournament champion, with bonus points awarded to domestic league champions of the last 10 years.

For the first stage, the six teams were drawn into three ties (E1–E3), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg.[7]

For the second stage, the 16 teams were drawn into eight ties (C1–C8), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association cannot be drawn into the same tie, excluding the three winners of the first stage, which will be seeded in Pot 2 and whose identity will not be known at the time of the draw, and may be drawn into the same tie with another team from the same association.

edit

In the qualifying stages, each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, extra time is not played, and a penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 2.4.3).[2]

Bracket

edit

The qualifying stages are structured as follows:

  • First stage (6 teams): The three winners of the first stage advance to the second stage to join the 13 teams which are given byes to the second stage.
  • Second stage (16 teams): The eight winners of the second stage advance to the third stage.
  • Third stage (8 teams): The four winners of the third stage advance to the group stage to join the 28 direct entrants. The four teams eliminated in the third stage enter the Copa Sudamericana group stage.

The bracket was decided based on the first stage draw and second stage draw, which was held on 20 December 2021.
