Notes
  1. Argentina (ARG): The Argentina berth was decided in a play-off played between the 2022 Campeonato Único de Primera División champions (San Lorenzo) and the 2022 Liga Nacional de Futsal champions (Barracas Central).
  2. Venezuela (VEN): Venezuelan's second berth was originally assigned to Bucaneros (2022 Torneo Apertura runners-up) for being the team with the best performance in the 2022 season behind the champions Centauros.[18] However, Bucaneros decided not to participate in the 2023 Liga FUTVE Futsal 1,[19] and consequently its place in the 2023 Copa Libertadores was taken by Tigres, runners-up in the 2022 Torneo Clausura.[20]

Venue

The tournament will be entirely played at the Poliedro de Caracas located in La Rinconada zone in Caracas, Venezuela.[21][22] The Poliedro de Caracas has a capacity for 13,000 spectators.[23]

Draw

The draw of the tournament will be held on 28 April 2023, 12:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay.[24][25] The draw was conducted based on Regulations Article 16 as follows:[3]

Initially, three teams were seeded and assigned to the head of the groups (Cascavel automatically to Group A, the others two via a draw from pot 1):

The remaining nine teams were split into three pots of three based on the final placement of their national association's club in the previous edition of the championship, with the highest three (Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay) placed in Pot 2, the next three (Peru, Ecuador and Colombia) placed in Pot 3 and the lowest two (Bolivia and Chile) in pot 4, alongside the additional Venezuelan team.[24]

Pot 1 (seeds) Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4
  • Peru Panta Walon
  • Ecuador Sportivo Bocca
  • Colombia Real Antioquia

From each pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A, the second team drawn placed into Group B and the final team drawn placed into Group C. Teams from the same national association could not be drawn into the same group.[26]
