I've listed this article for peer review because myself and other contributors would like to make this a featured list. We (the contributors) feel that this list is a good candidate for FL status, but outsider eyes and opinions would be beneficial. Any comments that would help it achieve that goal would be great.

The non-free image gotta go. Criteria 8 clearly, WP:FUC, states "Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."
references shd include: author(s), date, abbrevation spelled out in full. See List of FC Barcelona seasons for an example of rsssf refs.
refs shd be after punctuations.
lead needs expanding and a copyedit for FL.

Finetooth comments: I agree with Sandman's suggestions above. Here are a few more ideas:

Lead

I would spell out CONCACAF or explain its meaning on first use in the lead.

I would consider adding the names of the home cities to the team names in the lead. Outsiders are not likely to know that San Lorenzo is from Buenos Aires, for example.

Possibilities for expanding the lead: Would it be useful to list the 39 teams? Are the CONCACAF teams something other than the 39? If so, should they be listed too? On what basis are the teams invited to play in the tournament? How many teams participate in the tournament each year? Do the tournaments including any awards for outstanding individual play?

Key

"Finals decided on goal aggregate" - Should "goal aggregate" be linked or briefly explained? Does it mean the total number of goals scored by a particular team throughout the tournament?

"Each link is the relevant Copa Libertadores article for that year" - Since a link isn't an article, perhaps "Each link connects to the relevant Copa Libertadores article for that year"?

References

Wikipedia converts the all-caps parts of titles in sources to title case to conform to its own house style. Thus, SOUTH AMERICAN COMPETITIONS in citation 1 should be changed to "South American Competitions".
Citations to web sites should include author, title, publisher, date of publication, url, and date of most recent access, if all of those are known or can be found. For example, citation 1 should include the author (Torre, Raúl) and the publication date, August 12, 2009. Another example would be citation 7, which is missing the author's name (Falanga, Nicolás). You should check each citation for missing data; I did not check them all.

Images

Although the fair-use claim for the logo is doubtful, the article would be better with images, preferably from the tournaments but perhaps generic team photos or even photos of star players or cheering fans or something else.

Other

Would it make sense to combine this list with List of Copa Sudamericana winning managers rather than creating two short lists about the same topic?

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog at WP:PR. That is where I found this one. I don't generally check corrections after my reviews because it's too time-consuming. Please ping me on my talk page if my comments are unclear or if questions arise.
