Copa del Atlántico 1947
The Copa del Atlántico 1947 was a South American club soccer competition that was played once in 1947. Participants were two teams each from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. It was played in a simple "everyone against everyone" round, with the teams from the same country not playing against each other. The game was played with the aim of determining the winner in a country ranking, whereby the results of the clubs from the same country were added together. All games took place at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. The clubs from the Uruguayan capital jointly won the country ranking and thus the title for Uruguay.
The tournament should not be confused with the Copa del Atlántico de Clubes 1956 of the same name .
