Draw

The draw of the tournament was held on 4 June 2021, 18:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay. The hosts and holders, Brazil, and the previous tournament's runners-up, Uruguay were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups A and B respectively. The remaining eight teams were split into four "pairing pots" (Paraguay–Argentina, Peru–Colombia, Chile–Ecuador, Bolivia–Venezuela) based on the final placement they reached in the previous edition of the tournament (shown in brackets).[3]

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4

From each pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A and then its position within the group was drawn; the second team drawn was placed into Group B and its position within the group was also defined by draw.[3]

The draw resulted in the following groups:[4]
