 2022 Copa América Femenina | |
It was first held in 1991. In the first two editions of the tournament, only one team (the champions) qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup. In the third edition, the champions qualified automatically, while the runners-up faced a team from the CONCACAF region in a play-off match to earn a spot in the World Cup. In the fourth, fifth and sixth editions, two automatic spots were given to the top two teams for the 2003, 2007 and 2011 World Cups respectively.
In December 2020, CONMEBOL announced the tournament would be held every two years instead of every four years, starting in 2022.[2]
There are also Under-20 and Under-17 versions of this tournament.
