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 in the United States.[5] After this edition, the tournament would be held every two years instead of four in odd-number years,[6][7] no longer a Women's World Cup qualifier anymore, and serve as a path to women's football at the Pan American Games and the Summer Olympics.[8]

Brazil, the three-time defending champions, defeated Colombia 1–0 in the final to win their 8th title.[9] As winners, they competed in the inaugural 2023 Women's Finalissima against England, winners of UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[10]

Knockout stage

Main article: 2022 Copa América Femenina knockout stage

In the knockout phase, if the fifth-place play-off, semi-finals and third-place play-off were level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, no extra time would be played and the match would be decided by a direct penalty shoot-out. Only if the final was level at the end of the normal playing time, extra time would be played (two periods of 15 minutes each), where each team would be allowed to make an extra substitution. If still tied after extra time, the final would be decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the champions.[16]

Mascot

The tournament's mascot is named Alma, a domestic dog who is "a strong, brave, sociable, fun-loving person with a passion for soccer."[20] Therefore, she was not well received in Colombia, sparking controversy on social media over her description being considered "degrading."[21][22]

Theme song

The official song of the tournament was "Rockstar" by Puerto Rican duo Domino Saints, which was performed during the tournament's opening ceremony in Cali[23] and also at the closing ceremony held in Bucaramanga, respectively.[24]

Match ball

Nike provided the official Aerow ball for the tournament and also carried out activities to promote sports and gender equality.[25]
