The '''2003 [[Recopa Sudamericana]]''' was the 11th edition of the match-up contested between the winners of [[CONMEBOL]]'s two continental tournaments. This was the first ''Recopa'' contested since 1999 when the competition was discontinued due to the Supercopa Sudamericana folding in 1997. However, in 2002 the Copa Sudamericana was created to serve as the second most important continental trophy. Thus, the Recopa Sudamericana became playable again pitting the winners of the [[Copa Libertadores]] and [[Copa Sudamericana]]. The first Recopa Sudamericana under this format took place in a single final held at [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]] in [[Los Angeles]].<ref>[http://old.conmebol.com/conmeboltest/articulos_ver.jsp?id=54380&slangab=S Olimpia impuso su categoría y se quedó con la Recopa]{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} ''CONMEBOL'', accessed on April 26, 2010</ref>

The match was contested by [[Club Olimpia|Olimpia]], winners of the [[2002 Copa Libertadores]], and [[San Lorenzo de Almagro]], winners of the [[2002 Copa Sudamericana]], on July 12, 2003. Olimpia defeated San Lorenzo to win their second Recopa Sudamericana.<ref>[http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=511123 Frustración: San Lorenzo perdió la Recopa] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605230635/http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=511123 |date=2011-06-05 }} ''La Nación'', accessed on April 26, 2010</ref><ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/sacups/recopa02.html Recopa Sudamericana 2003] on the RSSSF</ref>
