Venue selection

Paraguay was chosen to be the venue by defeating Colombia by seven votes to three.

Group stage

The teams were divided into three groups of four teams each. The formation of the groups was made by CONMEBOL, in a public drawing of lots.

Each team plays one match against each of the other teams within the same group. Three (3) points are awarded for a win, one (1) point for a draw and zero (0) points for a defeat.

First and second placed teams, in each group, advance to the quarter-finals.
The best third placed team and the second best third placed team, also advance to the quarter-finals.

• Tie-breaker
  
  • If teams finish leveled on points, the following tie-breakers are used:
  
  
  
  
  1. greater goal difference in all group games;
  
  
  2. greater number of goals scored in all group games;
  
  
  3. winner of the head-to-head match between the teams in question;
  
  
  4. drawing of lots.
