The 2016 Copa Libertadores Femenina will be the eighth edition of the Copa Libertadores Femenina, South America's premier women's club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

The tournament will be played in Uruguay from 6 to 20 December 2016.[1]

Teams

The competition will be contested by 12 teams: the champions of all ten CONMEBOL associations are given one entry, additionally the title holders re-enter and the host association qualifies one more team.[2] The qualifying competitions of each association usually end late in the year (September to December). The Colombian tournament finished last, in fact only a week after the final draw was made. With Generaciones Palmiranas qualifying from Colombia it is the first time the Copa Libertadores is held without Club Formas Intimas, who were the only team playing in all previous editions.

Notes
  1. ↑ The 2015 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino champion should have qualified for the Copa Libertadores.[7] However, the champion Kindermann folded, and the runner-up Ferroviária already qualifed as title holders. The Brazilian Football Confederation offered the Copa Libertadores berth to the third place Foz Cataratas, instead of the 2015 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino champion, Rio Preto.[8]
