CONMEBOL considers returning Liga MX and MLS clubs to Copa Libertadores

CONMEBOL is evaluating a proposal to allow clubs from Liga MX and MLS to participate in the Copa Libertadores. This plan, while not yet formalized, suggests that two teams from Mexico and two from the United States could join the tournament. The inclusion would mark a return for Mexican clubs, which previously competed in the Libertadores before stepping back due to calendar conflicts. Qualification criteria for the North American clubs are still under discussion, with one team potentially invited and another qualifying based on performance. The proposal's impact on the number of spots available for South American teams remains a significant point of debate.
