Draw[edit]

The draw of the tournament was held on 14 December 2017, 19:00 ECT (UTC−5), at the Casa de la Selección in Quito.[3] The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five teams. The hosts Ecuador and the defending champions Brazil 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 South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship: Venezuela–Colombia, Argentina–Chile, Paraguay–Uruguay, Bolivia–Peru.[4]

Squads[edit]

Players born on or after 1 January 1998 are eligible to compete in the tournament. Each team could register a maximum of 22 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers).[5]

Match officials[edit]

A total of 10 referees, 20 assistant referees, and two support referees were selected for the tournament.[6]

First stage[edit]

In the first stage, 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 18.1):[5]

  1. Goal difference;
  2. Goals scored;
  3. Head-to-head result in games between tied teams;
  4. Drawing of lots.

The top two teams of each group advance to the final stage.
