The 2011 Copa Libertadores de América (officially the 2011 Copa Santander Libertadores de América for sponsorship reasons) was the 52nd edition of the Copa Libertadores de América, South America's premier international club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. It was held from January 25 to June 22 of the same year. Brazilian club Internacional were the defending champion, but they were eliminated by Uruguayan team Peñarol in the round of 16. Internacional was succeeded by Brazilian club Santos, who won their third title after defeating Peñarol in the two-legged finals.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/soccer/news/_/id/6695349/neymar-helps-brazil-santos-wins-copa-libertadores|title=Brazil's Santos wins Copa Libertadores|date=23 June 2011|work=ESPN|access-date=23 June 2011}}

Santos qualified to the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2012 Recopa Sudamericana.

Qualified teams

Starting from 2011, the most recent Copa Sudamericana champion would earn a berth in the tournament.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/conmebol/mainMedia.html?id=15171&viewpage='full' |title=Magnífico sorteo de la Copa Nissan Sudamericana 2010 en Asunción |language=es |trans-title=Magnificent draw of the 2010 Copa Nissan Sudamericana in Asunción |date=April 28, 2010 |publisher=CONMEBOL |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101024025555/http://www.conmebol.com/conmebol/mainMedia.html?id=15171&viewpage=%27full%27 |archive-date=October 24, 2010 }} However, the country of the Copa Sudamericana champion would not gain an extra berth. The Copa Sudamericana champion would take the lowest-placed berth already assigned to the country if they did not qualify for the Copa Libertadores through domestic performance.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/conmebol/mainMedia.html?id=17102&viewpage='full' |title=Copa América 2011: Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay cabezas de serie |language=es |trans-title=Copa America 2011: Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay seeded |date=October 18, 2010 |publisher=CONMEBOL |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101025000019/http://www.conmebol.com/conmebol/mainMedia.html?id=17102&viewpage=%27full%27 |archive-date=October 25, 2010 }}

Draw

The draw for the 2011 Copa Libertadores was held on November 25, 2010, in Asunción.{{cite web |url=http://www.conmebol.com/conmebol/mainMedia.html?id=17492&viewpage='full' |title=La Copa Santander Libertadores 2011 inicia su camino este jueves 25 en Asunción |language=es |trans-title=The 2011 Copa Santander Libertadores beings its journey this Thursday the 25th in Asunción |date=November 21, 2010 |access-date=November 21, 2010 |publisher=CONMEBOL }}[http://www.conmebol.com/copasantanderlibertadores/Estelar-Sorteo-de-la-Copa-Santander-Libertadores-de-America-2011-20110401-0020.html Estelar Sorteo de la Copa Santander Libertadores de América 2011] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110630042950/http://www.conmebol.com/copasantanderlibertadores/Estelar-Sorteo-de-la-Copa-Santander-Libertadores-de-America-2011-20110401-0020.html |date=2011-06-30 }} The drawing procedure for the 12 teams in the first stage was to alternatively draw a team from each pot. The drawing procedure for the 26 teams in the second stage was to draw out the pots beginning with Pot 1. One team from each pot would be placed, in the order of being drawn, into one of eight groups from 1 to 8. When drawing from Pot 3, if a team had been placed in a group where a team from the same football association was already placed, they were moved to the subsequent group until they were no longer in a group with a team from the same association. However, a first stage winner may be drawn with a team from the same association in the second stage.

For the first time, the seeded teams for the second stage were changed. Up until 2010, the 8 seeded teams included the reigning champion, and clubs from the football associations of Argentina and Brazil. For 2011, the seeded teams consisted of berths 1 from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, and berths 2 from Argentina and Brazil. The reigning champion–Internacional–was berth 1 for Brazil. For 2012, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay would all have their berth 1 teams be seeded teams instead of the berth 1 teams from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.{{cite web|url=http://dechalaca.com/informes/opinion/chocolateando-el-destino|title=Chocolateando el destino|last=Romero|first=Kenny|date=25 November 2010|publisher=DeChalaca|language=es|access-date=26 November 2010}}

Prior to the draw, it was announced that Caracas would be one of the eight seeded teams. During the draw, however, Deportivo Táchira was accidentally drawn as the seeded team for Group 4 and Caracas was drawn into Group 5 as a non-seeded team. After the ceremony, CONMEBOL recognized their error and transferred Caracas over to Group 4 and Deportivo Táchira over to Group 5.{{cite web|url=http://www.venezuelaesfutbol.com/noticia.php?id_noticia=7629&categoria_id=7|title=Conmebol enredada: La suerte está echada|date=25 November 2010|publisher=Venezuela es Futbol|language=es|access-date=26 November 2010}}
