 The seeding of each team was determined by their association and qualifying berth (as per the rotational agreement established by CONMEBOL, the teams which qualified through berths 1 from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela were seeded into Pot 1 for odd-numbered years, while the teams which qualified through berths 1 from Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay were seeded into Pot 1 for even-numbered years).Teams from the same association in Pots 1 and 2 could not be drawn into the same group.However, a first stage winner, whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, could be drawn into the same group with another team from the same association.
