2016 Copa Libertadores first stage
The 2016 Copa Libertadores first stage was played from 2 to 11 February 2016.[1] A total of 12 teams competed in the first stage to decide six of the 32 places in the second stage of the 2016 Copa Libertadores.[2]
Draw
The draw of the tournament was held on 22 December 2015, 20:30 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.[3][4][5] Starting from this season, teams were seeded by the newly established CONMEBOL ranking of the Copa Libertadores (except for teams from Mexico which were not ranked and thus seeded last in all draws),[6][7] taking into account of the following three factors:[8]
- Performance in the last 10 years, taking into account Copa Libertadores results in the period 2006–2015
- Historical coefficient, taking into account Copa Libertadores results in the period 1960–2005
- Local tournament champion, with bonus points awarded to domestic league champions of the last 10 years
<section begin=Draw /> For the first stage, the 12 teams were drawn into six ties containing a team from Pot A and a team from Pot B, with the former hosting the second leg. The teams were seeded based on their CONMEBOL ranking (shown in parentheses).[7] Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie.[9]
