2024 Copa Libertadores

The 2024 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores was the 65th edition of the CONMEBOL Libertadores (also referred to as the Copa Libertadores), South America's premier club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. The competition began on 6 February and ended on 30 November 2024, with the final played at Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Brazilian club Botafogo won their first Copa Libertadores title, defeating fellow Brazilian side Atlético Mineiro 3–1 in the final. As winners of the 2024 Copa Libertadores, Botafogo earned the right to play against the winners of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana in the 2025 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2025 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Fluminense were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Atlético Mineiro in the quarter-finals.

This edition was marred by the death of Juan Izquierdo, a Uruguayan footballer who was playing for Nacional, during a round of 16 match against São Paulo. Izquierdo collapsed on the pitch due to cardiac arrhythmia and died at the hospital five days after the incident.
