The 2006 Recopa Sudamericana (officially the 2006 Recopa Visa Sudamericana for sponsorship reasons) was the 14th
Recopa Sudamericana, an annual
football match between the winners of the previous season's
Copa Libertadores and
Copa Sudamericana competitions. This edition was played under a
two-legged series after several editions played in neutral venues.[1]
Boca Juniors successfully defend the title as they beat São Paulo 4–3 on aggregate to win their third Recopa trophy. The second leg was also the last match coached by
Alfio Basile, who left the club.[3] This victory also positioned Boca Juniors, momentarily, as the most lauded international club of the world.[4]
