The 2015 South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship was the 7th edition of the South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the CONMEBOL for the women's under-20 national teams of South America. The tournament was held in Santos, Brazil between 18 November and 3 December 2015.[1]

Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The top two teams of the tournament qualified for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea as the CONMEBOL representatives.[2]

Brazil were crowned champions and maintained their streak of winning all seven editions so far, and qualified for the World Cup together with runners-up Venezuela, who qualified for the first time.[3]

Teams

All ten CONMEBOL member national teams entered the tournament.[1]

Venues

The tournament was played in Santos.[1] The stadiums were Santos's Estádio Urbano Caldeira (Vila Belmiro) and Portuguesa Santista's Estádio Ulrico Mursa (Marapé).[4]

Squads

Players born on or after 1 January 1996 were eligible to compete in the tournament. Each team could register a maximum of 22 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers).[5]

First stage

The draw of the tournament was held on 16 October 2015 during the CONMEBOL Executive Committee meeting at the Hyatt Hotel in Santiago, Chile.[6] The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five teams. Each group contained one team from each of the five "pairing pots": Argentina–Brazil, Colombia–Paraguay, Peru–Uruguay, Chile–Ecuador, Bolivia–Venezuela. The schedule of the tournament was announced on 30 October 2015.[4]

The top two teams of each group advanced to the final stage. The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers would be applied in the following order:[5]

  1. Goal difference in all games;
  2. Goals scored in all games;
  3. Head-to-head result in games between tied teams;
  4. Drawing of lots.

All times were local, BRST (UTC−2).
