The 2015 Copa América – FIFA Futsal was the 11th edition of the Copa América – FIFA Futsal, the international futsal championship under FIFA rules organised by CONMEBOL for the men's national teams of South America. The tournament was held in Portoviejo, Ecuador between August 23–30, 2015.

Contents

Teams

A total of nine CONMEBOL member national teams participated in the tournament. Bolivia did not participate due to financial problems.

Venues

All matches were played in one venue: Complejo Deportivo La California in Portoviejo.

Referees

The official referees for the tournament were announced on 10 August 2015.

Group stage

The nine teams were drawn into one group of five teams and one group of four teams. The hosts Ecuador were placed in Group A, plus each group contained one team from each of the four "pairing pots": Argentina–Brazil, Colombia–Paraguay, Peru–Uruguay, Chile–Venezuela.

The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals, while the teams in third and fourth advance to the fifth place and seventh place play-offs respectively. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:

  1. Goal difference in all games;
  2. Goals scored in all games;
  3. Head-to-head result in games between tied teams (two teams only);
  4. Drawing of lots.

All times are local, ECT (UTC−5).

Knockout stage

In the knockout stage, extra time and penalty shoot-out are used to decide the winner if necessary.

Final ranking

Per statistical convention in futsal, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-out are counted as draws.
