The 2012 Copa Libertadores de América (officially the 2012 Copa Santander Libertadores de América for sponsorship reasons) is the 53rd edition of the Copa Libertadores, South America's premier international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. The winner will play in the 2013 Recopa Sudamericana and the best-placed non-Mexican team will play in the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup. Brazilian club Santos is the defending champion.

Qualified teams

The following associations have adopted new qualification methods for this tournament:

  • Argentina: The team with the best performance in the 2011 Copa Sudamericana not already qualified for the 2012 Copa Libertadores would earn the Argentina 5 berth.[1]
  • Bolivia: The league changed their calendar to European calendar (like Argentina, Uruguay and Venezuela) starting from 2011–12. The 2011 Adecuación was a single-stage season, and the champion and runner-up would earn the Bolivia 1 and Bolivia 3 berths respectively.[2] The 2011 Apertura champion would earn the Bolivia 2 berth.[3]
  • Chile: The league returned to the Apertura and Clausura format for the 2011 season, after using a single-season format for 2010 due to the 2010 Chile earthquake. The Apertura and Clausura champions would earn the Chile 1 and Chile 2 berths respectively, and the best-placed non-champion would earn the Chile 3 berth.[4]
  • Peru: The league used a home-and-away round-robin format, followed by the championship play-off between the top two teams, for the 2011 season. The champion and runner-up (decided by play-off) would earn the Peru 1 and Peru 2 berths respectively, and the third-placed team (decided by league table) would earn the Peru 3 berth.[5]

Teams in bold qualified directly for the Second Stage.
