Draw
The draw for the tournament was held on 20 September 2022, 12:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Center in Luque, Paraguay.[21] The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four.
Two teams were directly assigned to the head of groups A and B.
- To Group A: as 2021 Copa Libertadores Femenina champions, Corinthians (Brazil 1)
- To Group B: the champions of the host association, Ñañas (Ecuador 1)
The remaining teams (excluding the four teams from national associations with an extra berth) were seeded into three pots based on the final placement of their national association's club in the previous edition of the tournament, excluding the champions, with the highest two (Brazil 2 and Colombia 1) placed in Pot 1, the next four (Uruguay, Peru, Paraguay 1 and Chile 1) placed in Pot 2 and the lowest four (Ecuador 2, Argentina, Venezuela and Bolivia) in Pot 3. The four additional teams from associations with the best historical performance (Brazil 3, Chile 2, Colombia 2 and Paraguay 2) were seeded into Pot 4. From Pot 1, the first team drawn was placed into group C and the second team drawn placed into group D, both teams assigned to position 1 in their group. From each remaining pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A, the second team drawn placed into Group B, the third team drawn placed into Group C and the final team drawn placed into Group D, with teams from Pot 2, 3 and 4 assigned to positions 2, 3 and 4 in their group. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group.
