2022 Copa Libertadores

The 2022 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores was the 63rd edition of the CONMEBOL Libertadores (also referred to as the Copa Libertadores), South America's premier club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

On 14 May 2020, CONMEBOL announced the candidate venues for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 club competition finals. On 13 May 2021, CONMEBOL's Council decided that the final would be played at the Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo in Guayaquil, Ecuador on 29 October 2022.

On 25 November 2021, CONMEBOL announced the abolition of the away goals rule in all of its club competitions including the Copa Libertadores, which had been used since 2005. Accordingly, if in a two-legged tie two teams scored the same number of aggregate goals, the winner of the tie would not be decided by the number of away goals scored by each team but by a penalty shoot-out.

Brazilian club Flamengo were the champions, winning their third Copa Libertadores title after beating fellow Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense in the final by a 1–0 score. As winners of the 2022 Copa Libertadores, Flamengo earned the right to play against the winners of the 2022 Copa Sudamericana in the 2023 Recopa Sudamericana and also automatically qualified for both the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2023 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Palmeiras were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Athletico Paranaense in the semi-finals.
