Overview

  • After the Libertadores quarterfinals, Palmeiras leads the CONMEBOL points ranking with 40, Racing sits second on 34, and Flamengo and Liga de Quito follow on 32.
  • CONMEBOL will award six 2029 Club World Cup places in total, with four going to Libertadores champions from 2025 to 2028 and two via the multi‑year points table.
  • The reported scoring formula grants three points per win, one per draw, three for advancing each round, and three for group‑stage participation, with Copa Sudamericana excluded.
  • A national cap limits ranking-based qualifiers to two per country unless additional clubs enter as continental champions.
  • In Argentina’s 2026 qualification race, River leads the tabla anual with 49 points ahead of Boca and Rosario Central on 47, Platense is already in via the Apertura despite sitting 16th, and Racing and Lanús can still qualify by winning current CONMEBOL cups or through the Copa Argentina route.
