Draw edit
The draw to split the ten teams into two groups of five took place on November 1 at 19:00 UYT (UTC–3) in Montevideo, Uruguay at the headquarters of the Uruguayan Football Association.[7]
Initially, two teams were automatically assigned to the groups:[8]
- to Group A: as the host association,
Uruguay - to Group B: the highest ranked team in the last U-20 tournament,
Brazil
The remaining eight teams were split into four pots of two, shown in the below table.[8]
The teams were seeded based on how many points they gained in the last U-20 tournament, the Liga Sudamericana; those with the most points were placed in Pot 1 as the highest seeds, down to the lowest seeds in Pot 4 who collected the fewest points.[8] From each pot, one team was drawn into Group A and the other team was drawn into Group B.
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
