The 2019 South American Under-15 Football Championship was the 9th edition of the South American Under-15 Football Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the CONMEBOL for the men's under-15 national teams of South America. The tournament was originally to be held in Bolivia between 23 November and 8 December 2019.[1][2] However, on 8 November 2019, CONMEBOL announced the tournament would be moved to Paraguay due to the 2019 Bolivian protests.[3] The defending champions are Argentina.
Teams
All ten CONMEBOL member national teams entered the tournament. Moreover, two teams from UEFA will be invited to compete.

Initially, Bolivia was designated as host of the tournament at the CONMEBOL Council meeting held on 14 August 2018 in Luque, Paraguay.[1] Estadio Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Estadio Samuel Vaca Jiménez in Warnes had been chosen as the venues.[4][5][6] However, due to the 2019 Bolivian protests, on 8 November 2019 CONMEBOL moved the tournament to Asunción, Paraguay.[3] The new venues were announced on 19 November 2019. Four stadiums in 3 cities were chosen, Cancha CONMEBOL and Estadio Adrián Jara in Luque, Estadio Arsenio Erico in Asunción and Estadio Luis Alfonso Giagni in Villa Elisa.[7] The Estadio Defensores del Chaco was added as venue for the final matchday (third place match and final).[8][9][10]
Squads
Draw
The draw of the tournament was held on 22 October 2019, 19:00 BOT (UTC−4), in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.[11][12] The twelve involved teams were drawn into two groups of six. The original hosts Bolivia and the defending champions Argentina were seeded into Group A and Group B respectively and assigned to position 1 within their group, the remaining 8 CONMEBOL teams were placed into four "pairing pots" according to their final positions in the 2017 South American U-15 Championship (shown in brackets) and the two guests UEFA teams (Belgium and Poland) were placed in a last fifth pot.[12]
Seeded | Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 | Pot 5 |
