The South American Cup will have in 2024 a more than special edition, taking into account that teams of the magnitude of Boca Juniors and Racing will be present for Argentina in the second most important continental tournament at the club level, while Athletico Paranaense, Internacional, Corinthians and Cruzeiro will defend Brazilian football, among other participating groups.
In 2023 the champion was Liga de Quito (Ecuador), which made its way to the Libertadores group zone, so in this way the tournament will look for a new champion. How did “Xeneize” fare in the history of this competition? We go over it.
We all wanted to be in the Libertadores, but in Boca's history much worse things happened than playing in the Sudamericana for one year. Let's put on the candidate's hat and put together a competitive team to end the international drought. It's a good chance. pic.twitter.com/Hix6mRvGkT
