Notes on format:

1960-1965 only one team per country. Since 1966 two, while in addition
the defending champions automatically qualify with a bye in the first
round(s); since 2005 all countries receive 3 places, Argentina and Brazil
5 each, and one additional place for the country of the defending champions.

1960      knockout first round and then semifinal
1961      knockout first round one game, then quarter final, semifinal, final
1962-1965 3 groupwinners to semifinal + defending champions
1966-1967 3 large groups of 6,4 and 6, top 2 to semifinal, where they were
          joined by the defending champions
          Brazil not entering 1966 and 67, Colombia not in 1966
1968      5 groups, two advance per group, three quarterfinal winners 
          to semifinal with defending champions 
1969-1970 4 groups, without Brazil (69 and 70) and Argentina (69)
1971-1987 5 groups, winners to semifinal with defending champions
          Venezuela withdrew 1973 en 1986
1988      top two advance, then knockout, except for one lucky loser in 
          the quarter final (Newell's Old Boys)
1989-1999 top three advance plus defending champions, then knockout 
2000-2004 8 groups, top two advance, then knockout
2005-2016 preliminary round with 12 clubs, then 8 groups, top two advance,
          then knockout (in 2010 only the 6 best group runners-up advanced
          due to two Mexican clubs who had withdrawn in 2009 due to swine
          flu receiving byes to knock-out stage 2010)
2017-now  preliminary round with 19 clubs, then 8 groups, top two advance,
          then knockout 

[note: in 1966 and 1967 there were 7 semifinalists, in the 17 seasons
       from 1971 to 1987 there were 6 semifinalists (so in total there
       were 40 more 'semifinalists' than clubs featuring 'among the
       last four').  The column "realsf" below corrects the figure to 
       those clubs that finished first or second in the semifinal groups.]
