Two teams were directly assigned to the head of groups A and B.

The four additional teams from associations with the best historical performance (Brazil 3, Chile 2, Colombia 2 and Paraguay 3) were seeded into Pot 4. From Pot 1, the first team drawn were placed into group C and the second team drawn placed into group D, both teams assigned to position 1 in their group.
