The CAF–CONMEBOL play-off of the 2020 Women's Olympic Football Tournament qualification competition was a two-legged tie that decided one spot in the Olympic football tournament in Japan. The play-off was contested by the runners-up from CAF, Cameroon, and the runners-up from CONMEBOL, Chile.
Originally, the first leg would be hosted by Cameroon, while the second leg would be hosted by Chile. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, FIFA established that the matches would be played in a neutral country, Turkey, at the Arslan Zeki Demirci Sports Complex in Antalya.[3]
Chile won the first leg 2–1, while the second leg finished as a 0–0 draw. With a 2–1 victory on aggregate, Chile qualified for their first Olympic football tournament.[4]

The play-off was played on a two-legged basis, with the order of legs determined by a draw. Originally planned as a home-and-away tie, with each team playing one leg at home, both matches were later moved to a neutral venue. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs qualified for the Olympics. However, if the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule would still be applied based on the administrative "home" teams determined by the draw (i.e. the team that scored more goals away from "home" over the two legs would qualify).[5] [6] If away goals were also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time would be played. The away goals rule would again be applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the "away" team would qualify by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the winners would be decided by a penalty shoot-out.[7]
After the Olympics had been postponed to July 2021, on 30 July 2020 FIFA announced the matches were rescheduled to 18 and 24 February 2021.[11] The fixtures were to take place at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo, Yaoundé and Estadio Nacional, Santiago.[12] However, FIFA announced on 4 February 2021 that the matches had been further postponed to the women's international match window in April 2021.[13] It was confirmed on 22 March 2021 that the matches had been moved to Arslan Zeki Demirci Sports Complex, Antalya, Turkey and would be played on 10 and 13 April 2021.[14] [15]
