Host nation and venues edit

On 16 July 2002, during a meeting of the CONMEBOL Executive Committee, Chile was named as the host country of the tournament at the request of the Football Federation of Chile.[1] This decision was ratified a year later, on 7 August 2003.[2][3][4] It was the first time that Chile hosted the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.

On 22 August 2003, the Football Federation of Chile proposed five host cities, with Concepción (Group A), La Serena and Coquimbo (both of Group B) as host cities of the first stage matches, while Viña del Mar and Valparaíso would host the final stage matches.[5][6]
