The CONMEBOL Copa América de Futsal is the main national futsal competition of the CONMEBOL nations. It was first held in 1964 and was organized by the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol de Salón (CSFS) and the Asociación Mundial de Futsal (AMF) as "Sudamericano de Futsal". The tournament was also a qualifier for the AMF Futsal World Cup. The CFS and AMF organised the championship until 1989.American Futsal Championships Overview
In 1992, Conmebol organized its first South American in Aracaju under the name "Campeonato Conmebol de Futsal (FIFA)". In that tournament only 4 national teams participated (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Ecuador) and it was used as a World Cup qualifier as well than the tournaments of 1996 and 2000 that were called with the same name.
The other tournaments played between 1995 and 1999 were played in Brazil and were called "Taça América de Futsal FIFA". The dominance was always of the local team although those tournaments were only competitive without prior classification to any contest.
As of the 2003 edition, it began to be called the "Copa América de Futsal", and the venue of the tournament began to rotate, just as it is done with the traditional Copa América. The first two editions were World Cup qualifying, but Conmebol created the South American Futsal Qualifiers in 2012, which were repeated in 2016 and 2020.Eliminatoria Sudamericana al Mundial de Futsal FIFA Tailandia 2012: fixture y reglamento del torneo on Conmebol, 9 Apr 2012 (archived) Starting in 2024, the Copa América was used again to determine qualification for the FIFA Futsal World Cup.
