The Copa CONMEBOL was an annual association football tournament established in 1992. The competition was organized by the South American Football Confederation, or CONMEBOL, and it was usually contested by 16 clubs from its member associations. The tournament ended in 1999, following the expansion of Copa Libertadores to 32 teams. The Copa Mercosur and Copa Merconorte, which both started in 1998, replaced the Copa CONMEBOL, and the merger of those 3 cups transformed in the current Copa Sudamericana.Rsssf.com Diario On Line "Edición Nacional""Breve historia de la Copa Sudamericana"Información sobre la Copa ConmebolGlobo Esporte
