The 2014 Copa América Femenina was the seventh edition of the Copa América Femenina, an association football competition for women's national teams in South America affiliated with CONMEBOL. The tournament was played between 11 and 28 September 2014 in Ecuador.
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
Ecuador was confirmed as hosts in February 2014.[6] Bolivia had also shown interest.[7]
Ten referees and ten assistants were announced on 6 September 2014.[8]
First stage
The draw was held on 22 May 2014.[9] All times are ECT (UTC−5).[10]
The teams were drawn into two groups of five teams and played a round-robin within their group from September 11 to 20. The top two teams from each group advanced to the final stage.[3][11]
