Supercopa Sudamericana

The Supercopa Sudamericana - also known as Supercopa Sul-Americana , Supercopa dos Campeões da Libertadores da América and Supercopa João Havelange - was a South American club soccer competition that was held from 1988 to 1997. The winners of all Copa Libertadores matches took part in it. The winner played every year against the winner of the Copa Libertadores for the Recopa Sudamericana .

In order to enable the CR Vasco da Gama to participate in the competition in the 1997 draw , the Campeonato Sudamericano de Campeones from 1948 was recognized as the official predecessor of the Copa Libertadores.

From 1992 onwards, the Copa Master de Supercopa was planned every year , a competition with all previous Supercopa winners, which only took place a second time in 1994. In addition, the Copa de Oro Nicolás Leoz took place in 1993, 1995 and 1996 ; a competition designed to bring together the winners of the Copa Libertadores , Copa Conmebol and the two aforementioned competitions.

Finally, from 1998 the short-lived Copa Mercosur and Copa Merconorte competitions were established for the top clubs in southern and northern South America, respectively. 2002 followed these ultimately very similar to the European UEFA Cup ajar Copa Sudamericana .
