Copa Libertadores
The Copa Libertadores, originally known as the Copa Campeones de América, is an annual international club football competition organized by CONMEBOL since 1960.[ 11] [ 12] It is the most prestigious club competition in South American football and one of the most watched events in the world, broadcast in 135 nations worldwide.[ 13] The tournament is named in honor of the Libertadores (Portuguese and Spanish for Liberators), the main leaders of the South American wars of independence.[ 14] The competition has had several different formats over its lifetime. Initially, only the champions of the South American leagues participated. In 1966, the runners-up of the South American leagues began to join; in 1998, Mexican teams were invited to compete. Today at least three clubs per country compete in the tournament, while Argentina and Brazil each have five clubs participating. Traditionally, a group stage has always been used but the number of teams per group has varied several times.[ 14] [ 15]
The tournament consists of six stages. In the present format, it begins in early February with the first stage. The six surviving teams from the first stage join 26 teams in the second stage, in which there are eight groups consisting of four teams each. The eight group winners and eight runners-up enter the final four stages, better known as the knockout stages, which ends with the finals anywhere between June and August. The winner of the Copa Libertadores becomes eligible to play in two extra tournaments: the FIFA Club World Cup and the Recopa Sudamericana .[ 16] The reigning champion of the competition is Santos FC.[ 17] This is the club's third title and the first in 49 years. Santos have participated in the Copa Libertadores 15 times, reaching the semifinals nine times and the final five times.

Recopa Sudamericana
The Recopa Sudamericana was inaugurated in 1988 as a way of determining an ultimate South American winner, by pitting the holders of the Copa Libertadores against the winners of the Supercopa Sudamericana. After the latter's abolishment, the Copa Sudamericana winner participated against the Copa Libertadores champions.
Intercontinental Cup / FIFA Club World Cup
In 1960, CONMEBOL and their European equivalent, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), created the Intercontinental Cup as a way of determining the best team in the world, by pitting the winners of the Copa Libertadores and the European Champions' Cup, now known as the UEFA Champions League , against each other. In 2000, FIFA launched their international club competition called the FIFA Club World Cup , featuring teams from all of its member associations. In the second edition of the Club World Cup, in 2005, FIFA took over the Intercontinental Cup, subsuming it into its own competition.[ 25] [ 26] [ 27]
