Note: the worst three clubs in the first stage will not be admitted to
the Supercopa 1998 (which eventually was not held, being replaced
by the Copa Mercosur.
Vasco da Gama were admitted for the first time in recognition of
their winning a South American Club Championship in 1948.
Argentinos Juniors were not admitted to this year's edition,
presumably due to finishing last in the three-team first round
group in the 1996 Supercopa.
