Qualifying
In the beginning, only the national champions of the major South American federations (namely Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay) would play in the Libertadores Cup, but in the 1970s a second team from each country was allowed entry and also teams from Venezuela. Enzo Francescoli Uriarte (born November 12, 1961 in Montevideo) is a former Uruguayan football player, who retired in 1997 Club Atlético River Plate, known also as River Plate or simply River, is an Argentine Sports club best known for its football The number of participants was later increased to 24, 28, 32 and now 38.
Teams are qualified for the Libertadores Cup by winning a national championship or by finishing among the first few teams in the championship. Brazil, Uruguay and Mexico are the only countries participating which employ a second tournament that qualifies for the Libertadores (in Brazil, Copa do Brasil, since 1989; in Uruguay the "liguilla pre-libertadores" since 1974, in Mexico, the InterLiga since 2004). The Copa do Brasil (or Cup of Brazil) is a knockout competition played by 64 football teams representing all 26 Brazilian states plus the Federal The InterLiga is a football competition between Mexican clubs to determine qualifying spots for that country in South America's premier club competition

The first-round groups play in a league system, with each team playing home and away against each other team. The top two teams from each group are then drawn in the second round, which consists of a two-legged knockout tie. From that point, the competition proceeds with two-legged knockout ties to quarterfinals, semifinals, and the final. Between 1960 and 1987 the previous winners did not enter the competition until the semi-final stage (which was 2 group stage of 3 teams each one), making it much easier to retain the cup.
Rules
Note that unlike European club competitions, the Copa Libertadores historically did not use extra time or away goals to decide a tie that was level on aggregate. Aggregated Extra Time (AET, commonly known as extra time is an additional period played in some sports codes if the score is tied at the end of normal time The away goals rule is a method of breaking ties in Association football and other sports when teams play each other twice once at each From 1960 to 1987, two-legged ties were decided on points (teams would be awarded 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss), without taking goal difference into consideration. If both teams were level on points after two legs, a third match would be played at a neutral site. Goal difference would only come into play if the third match was drawn. If the third match did not produce an immediate winner a penalty shootout was used to determine a winner. Penalty shootouts, properly named kicks from the penalty mark, are a method sometimes used to decide which team progresses to the next stage of a tournament (or wins the tournament
From 1988 through 2004, ties were decided on aggregate goals, with an immediate penalty shootout if the tie was level on aggregate after full time of the second leg. Year 1988 ( MCMLXXXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link displays 1988 Gregorian calendar) "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " Several times, the event would have had a different champion if it followed European rules. For example, if the away goals rule had been used the 2004 champions Colombian club Once Caldas, provided the same results would have taken place under these different circumstances, would have exited the competition in the second round, and would also have lost the final on away goals, making Boca Juniors the Champion of that trophy. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " Corporación Deportiva Once Caldas, usually known simply as Once Caldas, is a Colombian Football (soccer team based in Manizales. Regardless, Once Caldas is the official Libertadores champion in 2004 after defeating Boca Juniors in the final game and claiming victory against the Argentine team.
Starting with the 2005 event, CONMEBOL began to use the away goals rule, with the extra time used only in the final matches. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.
