Unless a miracle occurs, it is a fact that Colo Colo will occupy Chile 3 of the Copa Libertadores 2024. What does this mean? That the Cacique will enter the preliminary phase of the most important tournament at the club level in South America.
The only option to be Chile 2 is for the Eternal Champion to achieve a victory against Curicó Unidos and for Huachipato to lose to Audax Italiano at home in Talcahuano. Also, expect the goal difference to be favorable for Popular.
But let’s return to the option of Colo Colo being Chile 3 of the Copa Libertadores: what rivals will it face and what is the format of this preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores de América?
As Chile 3, the Cacique enters Phase 2 of the continental tournament and, due to its position in the ranking of Conmebol institutions, it will enter bolillero 1.

Colo Colo’s possible rivals like Chile 3 in Libertadores
Although several qualifiers are missing, there is already a large percentage within the Copa Libertadores. That is why here we will tell you the possible rivals of the Eternal Champion.
First, clarify that there is a Phase 1 where clubs from Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela face each other. They are keys that are drawn and three institutions move to Phase 2.
This is where Colo Colo comes in, who will occupy bolillero 1 yes or yes due to his Conmebol ranking. In fact, in 2023, the Cacique ranked 28th on this list.
With this in consideration, the Cacique has eight possible rivals (those with the lowest ranking who will be placed in table 2). What teams are they? Here we tell you.

Phase 1 teams
Bolivia 4: Jorge Wilstermann, Aurora, Universitario de Vinto, Blooming and Royal Pari have the option of getting the quota.Ecuador 4: Aucas.Paraguay 4: Nacional.Peru 4: Melgar.Uruguay: Sporting or Nacional defender.Venezuela 4: Academy Port Cabello.
Phase 2 teams (where Colo Colo enters)
Of these six teams from Phase 1, three qualify and directly enter Bolillero 2 of Phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores de América, therefore, potential rivals of the Eternal Champion.
Venezuela: Portuguese (115).Uruguay: Defensor Sporting (60) or Nacional (6).Peru: Sporting Cristal (35). : Always Ready (74).
In 2023, the cutoff to enter Bolillero 1 of Phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores was Fortaleza, with 78th place in the club ranking awarded by Conmebol for this measurement.
It is worth mentioning that all the Brazilian clubs that can qualify for the Copa Libertadores are above that ranking, so they cannot face Colo Colo in Phase 2.
In Argentina there are clubs that can enter this Bolillero 2, such as Platense, which is fighting to be champion of the League Cup. Which rival would you like to face in this eventual Phase 3 of the Copa Libertadores de América? We read you.
