The tournament acted as South American qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand,[3] providing three direct qualifying places and two play-off places for the Women's World Cup,[4] and three more places for the 2023 Pan American Games women's football tournament in Chile (in addition to Chile who qualified automatically as hosts). In addition, the two finalists qualified for the women's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France. The top four teams also qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup.[5] After this edition, the tournament would be held every two years instead of four.[6]
Brazil, the four-time defending champions, defeated Colombia 1–0 in the final to win their 8th title.[7] As winners, they competed in the inaugural 2023 Women's Finalissima against England, winners of UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[8]
