Despite being from Mexico–– which is a member nation of CONCACAF and not CONMEBOL–– Pachuca were eligible to compete in this tournament after winning the 2006 Clausura, earning them an invite from CONMEBOL and receiving an automatic berth directly to the knockout stages. Pachuca's victory in the final marked the first time in history that a representative of CONCACAF had won a CONMEBOL-sanctioned tournament.
