Draw
[edit]The draw was held on 25 January 2018, 16:00 UYT (UTC−3), at the headquarters of the Uruguayan Football Association.[12][13] The 12 teams were drawn into three groups of four. The defending champions São Paulo were automatically seeded into Pot 1 and allocated to position A1 in the group stage, while the other two teams which also participated in the 2016 U-20 Copa Libertadores, Independiente del Valle and Libertad, were also seeded into Pot 1 and drawn to position B1 or C1 in the group stage. The remaining teams were seeded into Pot 2, and drawn to positions 2, 3 or 4 of groups A, B or C in the group stage. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.[14]

Group stage
[edit]In the group stage, the teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers were applied in the following order (Regulations Article 20):[1]
- Goal difference;
- Goals scored;
- Head-to-head result in games between tied teams;
- Penalty shoot-out (between two teams playing against each other in the last match of the group)
- Drawing of lots.
The winners of each group and the best runner-up among all groups advanced to the semi-finals.
