The 2025 CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (Portuguese: CONMEBOL Recopa Sul-Americana de 2025) was the 33rd edition of the CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (also referred to as the Recopa Sudamericana), the football competition organized by CONMEBOL between the winners of the previous season's two major South American club tournaments, the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.
The competition was contested in a two-legged home-and-away format between Brazilian team Botafogo, the 2024 Copa Libertadores champions, and Argentine team Racing, the 2024 Copa Sudamericana champions. The first leg was hosted by Racing at Estadio Presidente Perón in Avellaneda, Argentina on 20 February 2025 while the second leg was hosted by Botafogo at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 27 February 2025.[2]
Racing were the champions, winning their first Recopa Sudamericana title after defeating Botafogo 4–0 on aggregate.[3]
This was the second Recopa Sudamericana participation for both Botafogo and Racing. The former played the 1994 edition which they lost to fellow Brazilian side São Paulo, while the latter previously contested the Recopa in 1989, losing to Nacional from Uruguay.[4]
