Qualification for other tournaments edit
As in previous editions, the tournament served as CONMEBOL's qualifier for the FIFA Women's World Cup, the Pan American Games football tournament, and the Olympic football tournament, with the following qualifying rules:[2]
- For the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada, the top two teams qualified directly, and the third-placed team advanced to a play-off against the fourth-placed team of the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship.
- For the 2015 Pan American Games women's football tournament in Canada, the top four teams qualified.[3]
- For the 2016 Summer Olympics women's football tournament in Brazil, since Brazil automatically qualified as hosts, the top-ranked team other than Brazil qualified.[4] Since Brazil won the tournament, the runners-up Colombia joined Brazil as the two women's national teams from South America in the 2016 Olympics.[5]
Host selection edit
Ecuador was confirmed as hosts in February 2014.[6] Bolivia had also shown interest.[7]
