The 2016 Copa Libertadores Femenina was the eighth edition of the Copa Libertadores Femenina, South America's premier women's club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. The tournament was played in Uruguay from 6 to 20 December 2016.[1]

In the first final without a team from Brazil, Paraguayan team Sportivo Limpeño won their first title against Estudiantes de Guárico from Venezuela.[2]

Teams[]

The competition was contested by 12 teams: the champions of all ten CONMEBOL associations were given one entry, additionally the title holders re-entered and the host association qualified one more team.[3] The qualifying competitions of each association usually end late in the year (September to December). The Colombian tournament finished last, in fact only a week after the final draw was made. With qualifying from Colombia it was the first time the Copa Libertadores was held without Formas Íntimas, who were the only team from that country to have played in all previous editions.

Notes
  1. ^ The 2015 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino champions should have qualified for the Copa Libertadores.[8] However, the champions Kindermann folded, and the runners-up Ferroviária already qualified as title holders. The Brazilian Football Confederation offered the Copa Libertadores berth to the third place Foz Cataratas, instead of the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino champions, Rio Preto.[9]

Match officials[]

One referee plus two assistant referees were announced from every association to officiate the matches.[20]

Format[]

There were no format changes to the previous seasons. The teams were drawn into three groups of four, where each group was played on a round-robin basis. The winners of each group and the best runners-up advanced to the semifinals, which were played on a single-elimination basis, with the following matchups:

  • Group A winners vs. Group B winners
  • Group C winners vs. Best runners-up

The semifinal winners and losers play in the final and third place match respectively.[21]

Draw[]

The draw of the tournament was held on 16 November 2016, 19:30 UTC−3, at the headquarters of the Uruguayan Football Association.[22] The 12 teams were drawn into three groups of four containing one team from each of the four seeding pots. The host teams Colon and Nacional and the title holder Ferroviaria were seeded to Group A, B and C respectively.[23] The other teams were seeded based on the results of their association in the 2015 Copa Libertadores Femenina.[21]
