In this edition, the Brazilian clubs Cruzeiro, Vasco, Vitória, Atlético Mineiro, Fluminense, and Grêmio will represent Brazil. BRG365! brings you all the details.

Brazilian teams will not be in the same group
The draw for the group stage will be based on the pots of each league, and the final confirmation of the group division is still pending from Conmebol. Since the Brazilian teams did not participate in the preliminary phase, the six qualified Brazilian clubs cannot fall into the same group. Similarly, the Argentine clubs – Godoy Cruz, Independiente, Huracán, Unión de Santa Fe, Lanús, and Defensa y Justicia – will also follow this logic, to ensure that teams from the same country do not play in the same group.
