Venues Colombia presented the cities of Bogotá, Villavicencio, Bucaramanga, Cúcuta, Ibagué and Neiva as host cities when they bid to host the tournament. After an inspection meeting in October 2014, four stadiums were confirmed, with Neiva allowed an extension to finish works, before being removed as a venue later that month.
