Notes
  1. Brazil (BRA): Given that the 2020 Copa Libertadores de Futsal was cancelled, the Brazilian Futsal Confederation decided that the 2021 Brazil berth would be awarded to the winners of a play-off between the 2020 and 2021 Supercopa de futsal champions (Corinthians and Magnus Futsal respectively).[17]
  2. Chile (CHI): On 4 February 2021, the ANFP decided that the Chile berth, originally awarded to the 2019 Supercopa de Futsal champions, would be awarded to the 2019 Campeonato Clausura champions given that the 2019 Supercopa to be played between 2019 Campeonato Apertura champions (Santiago Wanderers) and 2019 Campeonato Clausura champions (Universidad de Chile) would not be held due to the Santiago Wanderers' futsal team closure.[18]

Initially, three teams were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups (Carlos Barbosa automatically to Group A, the others two via a draw from pot 1):

The remaining nine teams were split into three pots of three based on the final placement of their national association's club in the previous edition of the championship, with the highest three (Colombia, Peru and Brazil) placed in Pot 2, the next three (Vanezuela, Argentina and Chile) placed in Pot 3 and the lowest two (Bolivia and Ecuador) in pot 4, alongside the additional Uruguayan club. From each pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A, the second team drawn placed into Group B and the final team drawn placed into Group C. Clubs from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.
