The 2025 CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (Portuguese: CONMEBOL Recopa Sul-Americana de 2025) was the 33rd edition of the CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (also referred to as the Recopa Sudamericana), the football competition organized by CONMEBOL between the winners of the previous season's two major South American club tournaments, the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.

The competition was contested in a two-legged home-and-away format between Brazilian team Botafogo, the 2024 Copa Libertadores champions, and Argentine team Racing, the 2024 Copa Sudamericana champions. The first leg was hosted by Racing at Estadio Presidente Perón in Avellaneda, Argentina on 20 February 2025 while the second leg was hosted by Botafogo at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 27 February 2025.[2]

Racing were the champions, winning their first Recopa Sudamericana title after defeating Botafogo 4–0 on aggregate.[3]

Teams

This was the second Recopa Sudamericana participation for both Botafogo and Racing. The former played the 1994 edition which they lost to fellow Brazilian side São Paulo, while the latter previously contested the Recopa in 1989, losing to Nacional from Uruguay.[4]

Format

The Recopa Sudamericana was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the Copa Libertadores champions hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate at the end of the second leg, 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners (Regulations Article 17).[5]

Matches

After winning the 2024 Copa Libertadores and the 2024 Série A, coach Artur Jorge left Botafogo on 3 January 2025 to take charge of Qatari team Al-Rayyan.[6] Botafogo initially had interim coach Carlos Leiria, coach of the U-20 team, who led the team in the 2025 Supercopa do Brasil and the early rounds of the 2025 Campeonato Carioca. Due to poor results, Carlos Leiria was replaced by Cláudio Caçapa, who was also appointed as interim coach.[7] Caçapa was in charge of both legs of the Recopa Sudamericana, although on the day of the second leg, 27 February 2025, Botafogo announced Renato Paiva as their new coach.[8]

Nathan Fernandes and Bastos (Botafogo) and Agustín García Basso and Santiago Sosa (Racing) missed both matches while David Ricardo, Jeffinho and Artur (Botafogo) missed the first leg due to injuries.

Gregore (Botafogo) missed the first leg and Cuiabano (Botafogo) missed the second leg due to suspension.
