2nd qualifying round

The second qualifying round matches took place between January 31 and February 9, 2017.

Due to a problem with a flight, the second leg between CD El Nacional and Atlético Tucumán started an hour and a half late. The flight from Atlético Tucumán from Argentina to Quito was not allowed to start due to a lack of approval. The team then took another flight later to avoid disqualification. Even though their delay was more than the allowed 45 minutes, the Conmebol let the game take place. However, the players did not have their equipment with them, it was in the aircraft that had not taken off. El Nacional offered them its third jerseys. Atlético, however, opted for the jerseys of the Argentine U20 national team, which was in town for the U-20 South American Football Championship 2017 . The players also had to borrow their shoes.

Final round

draw

The first and second in each group qualified for the round of 16. The regulations from the round of 16 onwards were changed compared to previous years. So far, the first and second group have been determined. The games were not drawn, but determined by a seeding list. The criteria were the points scored and the goal difference from the group stage. The eight group winners were given start numbers 1 to 8 according to their ranking, so the best group winner received 1, the second-best group winner received 2, etc. The eight runners-up were given start numbers 9 to 16. In the round of 16 then play 1 - 16, 2 - 15, 3 - 14 ..., so the best group first against the worst group second etc.

Starting this season, the pairings of the group first and second will be drawn. The draw took place on June 14, 2017.
