Draw

The draw of the tournament was held on 1 November 2017, 19:00 UYT (UTC−3), at the headquarters of the Uruguayan Football Association in Montevideo.[2] The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five teams. The hosts Uruguay and the defending champions Colombia were seeded into Groups A and B respectively, while the remaining teams were placed into four "pairing pots" according to their results in the 2015 Copa América Femenina de Futsal (if they did not participate, a statistical ranking of earlier tournaments were used for seeding): Chile–Argentina, Paraguay–Peru, Brazil–Venezuela, Bolivia–Ecuador.[3]

Squads

Each team had to submit a squad of 14 players, including a minimum of two goalkeepers (Regulations Article 4.1).[4]

Match officials

A total of 17 referees were appointed for the tournament.[5]

Group stage

The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals, while the teams in third, fourth and fifth advance to the fifth place, seventh place, and ninth place play-offs respectively. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order (Regulations Article 6.2):[4]

  1. Results in head-to-head matches between tied teams (points, goal difference, goals scored);
  2. Goal difference in all matches;
  3. Goals scored in all matches;
  4. Drawing of lots.

All times are local, UYT (UTC−3).
