Copa Libertadores 1967

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Copa Libertadores 1967 was the 8th edition of the most important South American football competition for club teams. 20 teams took part. The national champions of the CONMEBOL countries and the runners-up took part, or the winners and finalists of the cup competitions in Brazil and Bolivia, as no national championships have yet been held there. Uruguay was an exception. Only the championship winner took part, as CA Peñarol was automatically qualified as defending champion. The tournament began on February 11th and ended on August 29th, 1967 with the final playoff. The Argentine representative Racing Club won the final against Nacional Montevideo , winning its first title in this competition.
