Draw

The draw was originally to be held on June 14, 2011 at CONMEBOL's Convention Center in Luque, Paraguay,[1] but was postponed by CONMEBOL due to disruptions to air traffic in the region by the volcanic eruption of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex, first to June 16,[2] and then to June 21,[3] and finally to June 28, with the venue switched to the Sheraton Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[4]

The tournament was played in single-elimination format, with each tie played over two legs. The draw mechanism was as follows:[5]

First Stage

Change of sponsorship

During the draw, CONMEBOL announced that Bridgestone would replace Nissan Motors as the primary sponsor of the tournament. The official name of the tournament would be changed accordingly to the Copa Bridgestone Sudamericana.[6]
