Flamengo fans closely followed the draw held last night (December 20th) in Paraguay, which confirmed the groups for the upcoming Copa Libertadores. Flamengo will be seeded in Group 12 and will face Nacional-URU, Coronel Bolognesi-PER, and the winner of Match 4 of the Pre-Libertadores (Cienciano-PER or Montevideo Wanderers-URU). This means Flamengo will only face Peruvian and Uruguayan opponents in the first phase.

Uruguay's Nacional is the team with the most tradition among its rivals. The team hasn't had a good season, but has already won the Copa Libertadores three times.

Coronel Bolognesi is a team from the city of Tacna, in southern Peru. The club has been in existence for only three years and has been playing in the country's top division for the past two years. This year, they won the Clausura tournament.

The group's other opponent will emerge from the match between Cienciano-PER and Montevideo Wanderers-URU. If the Peruvian team advances, Flamengo will once again encounter altitude, as the Cuzco team plays at 3.400 meters above sea level. The Uruguayan team has competed in the Copa Libertadores five times.
