The tournament was played at the Polideportivo 10 de Julio in Florida, Uruguay.
The draw of the tournament was held on 27 April 2021, 12:00 UYT (UTC−3).[17] The draw was conducted based on Regulations Article 16 as follows:[4]
Initially, three teams were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups (Carlos Barbosa automatically to Group A, the others two via a draw from pot 1):
The remaining nine teams were split into three pots of three based on the final placement of their national association's club in the previous edition of the championship, with the highest three (Colombia, Peru and Brazil) placed in Pot 2, the next three (Vanezuela, Argentina and Chile) placed in Pot 3 and the lowest two (Bolivia and Ecuador) in pot 4, alongside the additional Uruguayan club. From each pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A, the second team drawn placed into Group B and the final team drawn placed into Group C. Clubs from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.
The draw resulted in the following groups:[18]
| width=33.3% |
| width=33.3% |
| width=33.3% |
|
Each team has to submit a squad of 14 players, including a minimum of two goalkeepers.[4]
The top two teams of each group and the two best third-placed teams advance to the quarter-finals.
All times are local, UYT (UTC−3).[19] [20]
