2019 Copa Sudamericana first stage

The 2019 Copa Sudamericana first stage was played from 5 February to 8 May 2019.^[1] A total of 44 teams competed in the first stage to decide 22 of the 32 places in the second stage of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana.^[2]

Draw

The draw for the first stage was held on 17 December 2018, 20:30 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.^[3][4][5] For the first stage, the teams were divided into two pots according to their geographical zones:^[6][7]

• Pot A (South Zone): 22 teams from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay
• Pot B (North Zone): 22 teams from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela

The 44 teams were drawn into 22 ties (E1–E22) between a team from Pot A and a team from Pot B, with the teams from Pot B hosting the second leg in odd-numbered ties, and the teams from Pot A hosting the second leg in even-numbered ties. This distribution ensured that teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie.
