Draw
The draw of the tournament was held on 22 December 2015, 20:30 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.[3][4][5]
For the second stage, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four containing a team from each of the four pots. The defending champions (River Plate) were automatically placed first in Pot 1 and allocated to Group 1 for the draw. The remaining teams were seeded based on their CONMEBOL ranking (shown in parentheses).[6] Teams from the same association in Pots 1, 2 and 3 could not be drawn into the same group. Teams from Mexico were allocated to Pot 4, together with the winners of the first stage, whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, and they could be drawn into the same group with another team from the same association.[7]
Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
---|---|---|---|
River Plate (2; Title holders) |
Grêmio (16) |
LDU Quito (34) |
UNAM (no rank) |
The six winners of the first stage which joined the 26 direct entrants were as follows:
- Winner G1: Santa Fe
- Winner G2: Huracán
- Winner G3: Racing
- Winner G4: River Plate
- Winner G5: Independiente del Valle
- Winner G6: São Paulo
Format
In the second stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Goal difference; 2. Goals scored; 3. Away goals scored; 4. Drawing of lots. The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the round of 16.[2]
