After approvals by CONMEBOL and CONCACAF it was defined the format of the competition.
Two Mexican teams must play against two Venezuelan teams in a round robin format.
Originally, on January 9, 1998 four Mexican teams were selected for compete for the two places:
Guadalajara (Verano 1997 champions)
Cruz Azul (Invierno 1997 champions)
América (most points in Verano and Invierno 1997 tournaments)
Atlante (third with most points in Verano and Invierno 1997 tournaments)
However, on January 13, Cruz Azul and Atlante resigned the invitation adducing lack of time.
So, América and Guadalajara were the qualified teams to Pre-Libertadores tournament.
The organizers ordered a match between América and Guadalajara to find out which of the two teams had to travel to Venezuela first.
