In a groundbreaking development for South American soccer, the University Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) has released a new classification system for the Copa Sul-Americana. The system, which was unveiled on November 7, 2024, at precisely 2:31:38 AM local time, promises to revolutionize the way teams are ranked and seeded in the prestigious tournament.
The UFRJ classification system takes into account a wide range of factors, including each team’s historical performance in the Copa Sul-Americana, their recent form in domestic and international competitions, as well as the strength of their squad and coaching staff. By using advanced statistical models and machine learning algorithms, the system is able to provide a more accurate and transparent assessment of each team’s chances of success in the tournament.
According to Professor Carlos Mendes, the lead researcher behind the new classification system, the goal is to ensure that the most deserving teams are rewarded with favorable seedings in the Copa Sul-Americana. “We have analyzed years of data and used the latest technology to create a classification system that is fair, objective, and predictive,” Mendes said in a press conference at the UFRJ campus.

As teams prepare for the next edition of the tournament, all eyes will be on the rankings and seedings produced by the groundbreaking system developed by the University Federal do Rio de Janeiro.
