Conmebol revealed this Saturday how the 2022 Copa Sudamericana match schedule will be distributed. The international competition will start the group stage on April 5, and the final will be held on October 1, at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasilia.
Junior from Barranquilla and Independiente Medellín are the two Colombian teams that will say 'present' in the group stage of the contest. The 'Tiburón' team eliminated La Equidad; while the 'Poderoso' won against América de Cali in the previous phase.
The result of the draw presented two different realities. The Barranquilla squad, who was seeded, will face a difficult area, as it will face Fluminense (Brazil), who was relegated to the South American after falling in the qualifying phase of the Copa Libertadores against Olimpia. Likewise, he will play against Union de Santa Fe (Argentina), and Oriente Petrolero (Bolivia).
While the 'Poderoso' ensemble, on paper, has a group with smaller rivals. Due to the cost of its staff and trajectory in the continent, Internacional de Portoalegre (Brazil) would be the main candidate to qualify for the next instance. However, the other teams would present an interesting challenge to those led by the Uruguayan, Julio Comesaña: October 9 (Ecuador) and Guaireña (Paraguay).

In total, the 'Powerful' has participated five times, leaving a yield of only 35.71%.
