Campeonato Sudamericano de Clubes Campeones de Basquetbol (2008)
The competition was finally discontinued in the year 2008, after the new top-tier panamerican FIBA Americas League had been recently formed in December 2007 and meant that each South America country's top teams would qualify to the new league and not the FIBA South American League. Subsequently the South American Championship lost its importance and it was abolished.
