Organised by the governing body for South American football, CONMEBOL, as part of its Development Department's Evolution Program, all ten members of the continental confederation took part, with both senior and under 20s national teams participating in the league events.[1]

The teams are first divided into two geographically based zones (North and South) to compete in a round robin tournament against other members of their own zone during the regular season; the points earned by both the senior and under 20s teams are combined. The winners of each zone then proceed to face each other in the finals to contest the title.[1]

Brazil were the three-time defending champions and successfully retained the title once more, defeating Paraguay in the finals.[2]

Finals

edit

The zone winners faced each other for the league title with their senior teams playing each other over two legs, as do their under 20s representatives for a total of four matches comprising the finals. The winners were the national team which accumulates the most points from all four matches combined.[1]

The finals were organised to take place in Luque, Paraguay on 1 and 2 June 2024.[11] All matches were played at the COP Arena – Estadio Óscar Harrison located within the Parque Olímpico sports complex.

Initially, the Estadio Ángel Malvicino in Santa Fe, Argentina was considered as a possible venue for the finals,[12][13] however, this option was discarded because the stadium could not meet CONMEBOL's requirements.[14]
