Defensor Sporting managed to obtain second place in the Sub 19 category and will play next year’s Copa Libertadores de América sub 20.

In this category, the continental contest is played by the champions of each federation, but the violets will be able to participate because Uruguay has two quotas because Peñarol was the champion in the last edition.

As the aurinegros also won the local title in the AUF category, the vice champion Defensor Sporting managed to qualify.

Facundo Peralta, only 17 years old, managed to make a place for himself in the team and continues his development in the violetas.
