It must be pointed out, however, that at least in the years 1996 and 1997, CONMEBOL entitled equal status to both the Copa Libertadores and the 1948 tournament.Vasco da Gama were allowed to participate in theSupercopa Libertadores, a CONMEBOL official competition for former Libertadores champions (not admitting participation for champions of theCopa CONMEBOL).
