2025 Women's Copa America: Participants, Schedule and Format

When is the 2025 Women's Copa America?

The Women's Copa América 2025 will kick off on Friday, July 11 with the opening match between Ecuador and Uruguay. The final match will be played on Saturday, August 2.

What is the format of the Copa America Femenina 2025?

For the first phase, the ten participating teams will be divided into two groups of five teams each. It will be played in a round-robin system, so each team will play at least four matches. On each date, one team will be left free due to the fact that each zone has an odd number of teams.

The points system will be the usual (three for the winner and one for a tie). As for qualification to the next round, the first and second place teams will advance and will face each other in the semifinals, while the two third place teams will define the fifth place. Then, the losers of the semis will also play for third place, while the winners will play in the grand final.

Which teams are playing at the 2025 Women's Copa America?

Here are the two groups for the 2025 Copa America Femenina:

Who will win the 2025 Copa America Femenina?

In terms of history and squad, Brazil is the top candidate to win the continental title. The Verdeamarela won 8 of the 9 editions played, except the 2006 edition, which went to Argentina. One step below comes Colombia, a team that managed to be a finalist of the last edition and keeps its main players for this tournament.

The qualifiers granted by the Copa América Femenina 2025

The Copa América Femenina 2025 is a great opportunity for countries in the region to try out their squad, since in addition to the prestige and visibility, this competition grants two direct berths for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028. In addition, the teams that finish in 3rd, 4th and 5th place will also have a ticket to the Pan American Games in Lima 2027 (Peru).

The winner of the Women's America's Cup 2025 will play in the “Finalissima”, an intercontinental trophy in which it will face the winning team of the 2025 Women's Euro.
