Draw

The draw for the qualifying stages was held on 17 December 2018, 20:30 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay. [3] [4] [5]

Teams were seeded by their CONMEBOL ranking of the Copa Libertadores as of 15 December 2018 (shown in parentheses), taking into account the following three factors: [6] [7] [8]

  1. Performance in the last 10 years, taking into account Copa Libertadores results in the period 2009–2018
  2. Historical coefficient, taking into account Copa Libertadores results in the period 1960–2008
  3. Local tournament champion, with bonus points awarded to domestic league champions of the last 10 years

For the first stage, the six teams were drawn into three ties (E1–E3), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg.

As their identity was not known at the time of the draw, they could be drawn into the same tie with another team from the same association.
