Draw

The draw for the groups composition was held on 2 May 2024, 12:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay.[30] The draw was conducted based on Regulations Article 16 as follows:[5]

Initially, three teams were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups (Cascavel automatically to Group A, the others two via a draw from pot 1):

The remaining nine teams were split into three pots of three based on the final placement of their national association's club in the previous edition of the championship, with the highest three (Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru) placed in Pot 2, the next three (Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia) placed in Pot 3 and the lowest two (Colombia and Chile) in pot 4, alongside the additional Argentine team.[30]

From each pot (except pot 1), the first team drawn was placed into Group A, the second team drawn placed into Group B and the final team drawn placed into Group C. Teams from the same national association could not be drawn into the same group.[31]
