For the first stage, the 12 teams were drawn into six ties containing a team from Pot 1 and a team from Pot 2, with the former hosting the second leg in three ties, and the latter hosting the second leg in the other three ties. The seeding of each team was determined by which associations reached the furthest stage in the previous Copa Libertadores.^[1]

Seeding

The following were the seeding of the 12 teams entered into the first stage draw:

Pot 1	Pot 2
Tigre Grêmio São Paulo Iquique Deportes Tolima Olimpia	Bolívar LDU Quito León Universidad César Vallejo Defensor Sporting Deportivo Anzoátegui

Format

In the first stage, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule was used. If still tied, the penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (no extra time was played). The winners of each tie advanced to the second stage to join the 26 automatic qualifiers.^[1]

Matches

The first legs were played on January 22–24, and the second legs were played on January 29–31, 2013.^[3]
