In analogy to the Copa Mercosur. Originally this tournament was to start Sep 1 (the group stage lasting until Nov 25), with 16 teams, divided into 4 groups of 4. Those 16 teams included 3 Mexican teams, América, Cruz Azul and Guadalajara. However, the Mexican FA insisted on including Toluca and Necaxa, the two finalists of the 1998 Summer season, instead of América and Guadalajara, who had been chosen for their popular support. No agreement could be reached, and on August 20 the Mexican teams withdrew. The organization then decided to remove the two teams from the USA (DC United and Los Angeles Galaxy) as well, include a fourth Colombian team (América de Cali) and play with 3 groups of 4. The group winners and the best second placed team qualify for the semifinals.
