The 2023 CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (Portuguese: CONMEBOL Recopa Sul-Americana de 2023) was the 31st edition of the CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (also referred to as the Recopa Sudamericana), the football competition organized by CONMEBOL between the winners of the previous season's two major South American club tournaments, the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.
The competition was contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Brazilian team Flamengo, the 2022 Copa Libertadores champions, and Ecuadorian team Independiente del Valle, the 2022 Copa Sudamericana champions. The first leg was hosted by Independiente del Valle on 21 February 2023 at Estadio Banco Guayaquil in Quito, Ecuador while the second leg was hosted by Flamengo on 28 February 2023 at Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[3] The matches were originally scheduled to take place on 8 and 15 March,[4] however, CONMEBOL had to reschedule the dates, first to 22 February and 1 March and then to 21 and 28 February,[5][3] to avoid a clash with the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup in which Flamengo would participate.[6]
This was the first time that a rematch is going to take place in the Recopa Sudamericana. The two teams met previously in the 2020 Recopa Sudamericana, where Flamengo won 5–2 on aggregate.
Independiente del Valle defeated Flamengo 5–4 on penalties after tied 1–1 on aggregate to win their first Recopa Sudamericana.[7]
