The 2019 South American U-17 Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Sudamericano Sub-17 Perú 2019, Brazilian Portuguese: Campeonato Sul-Americano Sub-17 Peru 2019) was the 18th edition of the South American U-17 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONMEBOL for the men's under-17 national teams of South America. It was held in Peru from 21 March to 14 April 2019.[1]
The top four teams, champions Argentina, which won their fourth title, Chile, Paraguay, and Ecuador, qualified for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil as the CONMEBOL representatives, besides Brazil who qualified automatically as hosts replacing Peru, despite failing to qualify out of the first stage as defending champions for the first time.[2]
Teams
All ten CONMEBOL member national teams entered the tournament.
Peru was confirmed as host of the tournament at the CONMEBOL Council meeting held on 22 January 2019 in Rio de Janeiro. All games were scheduled to be played in Lima at the Estadio Universidad San Marcos.[1][3]
