- Teams qualified for the Final
According to the Copa Libertadores regulations Article 1.7 (in Spanish):[1]
En caso de que el equipo Campeón de la Copa Bridgestone Libertadores de esta edición resulte igualmente Campeón de la Copa Sudamericana en el mismo año, el equipo subcampeón de la Copa Libertadores disputará con el equipo sub-campeón de la Copa Sudamericana uno o dos partidos a fin de definir el equipo que disputará la Recopa Sudamericana.
That is, if the Copa Libertadores champion also wins the Copa Sudamericana, the Copa Libertadores runner-up and the Copa Sudamericana runner-up will play one or two matches in order to decide the team which will play in the Recopa Sudamericana.
Therefore, if the 2016 Copa Libertadores champion, Atlético Nacional, also wins the 2016 Copa Sudamericana, the following two teams will play one or two matches in order to decide the team which will play in the 2017 Recopa Sudamericana:
Independiente del Valle (2016 Copa Libertadores runner-up)
Chapecoense (2016 Copa Sudamericana runner-up if Atlético Nacional wins title)
Format
The Recopa Sudamericana is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the Copa Libertadores champion hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule is not used, and 30 minutes of extra time is played. If still tied after extra time, the penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner.[1][2]
