2019 Copa Sudamericana first stage


The 2019 Copa Sudamericana first stage was played from 5 February to 8 May 2019. A total of 44 teams competed in the first stage to decide 22 of the 32 places in the second stage of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana.

Draw


The draw for the first stage was held on 17 December 2018, 20:30 PYST, at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay. For the first stage, the teams were divided into two pots according to their geographical zones:
  • Pot A : 22 teams from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay
  • Pot B : 22 teams from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela
The 44 teams were drawn into 22 ties between a team from Pot A and a team from Pot B, with the teams from Pot B hosting the second leg in odd-numbered ties, and the teams from Pot A hosting the second leg in even-numbered ties. This distribution ensured that teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie.
