The2022 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores was the 63rd edition of theCONMEBOL Libertadores (also referred to as theCopa Libertadores),South America's premier clubfootball tournament organized byCONMEBOL.[1]
On 14 May 2020, CONMEBOL announced the candidate venues for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 club competition finals.[2][3] On 13 May 2021, CONMEBOL's Council decided that thefinal would be played at theEstadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo inGuayaquil, Ecuador on 29 October 2022.[4]
On 25 November 2021, CONMEBOL announced the abolition of theaway goals rule in all of its club competitions including the Copa Libertadores, which had been used since 2005.[5] Accordingly, if in atwo-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 apenalty shoot-out.
Brazilian clubFlamengo were the champions, winning their third Copa Libertadores title after beating fellow Brazilian sideAthletico Paranaense in the final by a 1–0 score.[6] As winners of the 2022 Copa Libertadores, Flamengo earned the right to play against the winners of the2022 Copa Sudamericana in the2023 Recopa Sudamericana and also automatically qualified for both the2022 FIFA Club World Cup and the2023 Copa Libertadores group stage.
Palmeiras were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Athletico Paranaense in the semi-finals.
