Notes
  1. Brazil (BRA): The Brazilian Football Confederation awarded to Cascavel the Brazil berth as winners of the 2021 Liga Nacional de Futsal. Previously, the Brazil berth was awarded to the champions of the Supercopa de Futsal, an event organized by Brazilian Futsal Confederation.[15]
  2. Argentina (ARG): The second Argentine berth was originally reserved for the 2021 Liga Nacional de Futsal champions, however, the second berth was awarded to Boca Juniors as Barracas Central were champions in both tournaments that awarded berths to the 2022 Copa Libertadores (2021 Campeonato Único de Primera División and 2021 Liga Nacional de Futsal), and Boca Junior were runners-up in both tournaments.

Venue

edit

The tournament was entirely played at the Microestadio Malvinas Argentinas (also knows as Befol Arena), owned by Argentinos Juniors, located in La Paternal neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[16][17]

Draw

edit

The draw of the tournament was held on 29 August 2022, 12:00 PYT (UTC−4).[18] The draw was conducted based on Regulations Article 16 as follows:[3]

Initially, three teams were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups (San Lorenzo 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 (Venezuela, Peru and Paraguay) placed in Pot 2, the next three (Colombia, Uruguay and Chile) placed in Pot 3 and the lowest two (Ecuador and Bolivia) in pot 4, alongside the additional Argentine 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.
