2024 Copa Libertadores Femenina |
The CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina, commonly known as "Copa Libertadores Femenina" (Portuguese: Copa/Taça Libertadores Feminina), is an annual international women's association football club competition in South America. It is organized by the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL). The competition started in the 2009 season in response to the increased interest in women's football. It is the only CONMEBOL club competition for women.
The tournament is the women's version of the Copa Libertadores, which has been organized since 1960.
Since 2019, clubs in the men's Libertadores are required to have a women's team: failure to do so leads to rejection of their entry.[1] This change was made in order to strengthen the women's competition.
