CONEMBOL Women’s Copa America History, First Edition Results, Format, And Participating
The primary matchup in women’s association football between national teams of CONMEBOL is the Copa América Femenina. The first one was held in 1991. Only one side qualified for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in each of the first two tournaments. The winners of the third edition automatically qualified, but the runners-up had to play a side from CONCACAF in a play-off match to advance to the World Cup. The champions and the second-placed team received two automatic slots for the 2003 World Cup in the fourth edition, with the same arrangement continuing for the 2007 and 2011 editions.
The tournament will henceforth be conducted every two years, as opposed to every four years, commencing in 2022, according to a CONMEBOL announcement made in December 2020.

CONEMBOL Women’s Copa America Most Successful Teams
All except one of the past eight Women’s Copa America have been won by Brazil; in 2006, Argentina won the competition they hosted. But at that point, despite narrowly losing a string of World Cups and Olympic competitions, it was possible to argue that Brazil was the world’s best team. Everything was predicated on the haphazard creation of genius in a nation the size of a continent. But while the sport gained popularity around the world, Brazil lazily shied away from making any investments. By 2012, it was obvious they had fallen behind, and since then, they haven’t come close to competing for major awards.
