The tournament was originally to be held in Chile between 25 September and 11 October 2020.[1] However, it was postponed by CONMEBOL on 19 June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, provisionally to early 2021.[2] CONMEBOL announced on 20 November 2020 that the 2020 edition would be held in Argentina from 5 to 21 March 2021.[3] Corinthians, the defending champions, were eliminated in the semi-finals.

Ferroviária (Brazil) defeated América (Colombia) 2–1 to win their second title.[4]

Format

edit

For the group stage, the 16 teams were drawn into four groups. Teams in each group played one another in a round-robin basis, with the top two teams of each group advancing to the quarter-finals. Starting from the quarter-finals, the teams played a single-elimination tournament.[5]

edit

The competition was contested by 16 teams:

  • the champions of all ten CONMEBOL associations
  • the title holders
  • an additional team from the host association
  • four additional teams from associations with the best historical performance in the tournament (associations in bold receive two berths according to the points total until the 2019 edition).[3]

    3. Colombia: 105 points

Originally teams had to apply for a licence to compete in the tournament, but this requirement had been suspended due to the exceptional nature of the situation generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
