South America
The 2006 Sudamericano Femenino acted as qualifier for CONMEBOL. Originally, a women's football tournament at the 2006 South American Games in Buenos Aires would serve as qualifier tournament, but the South American Games committee scrapped football from the games, forcing the Argentine Football Association to organize a tournament on short notice.
On November 24, Brazil qualified by earning six points. Argentina qualified on November 26 by defeating Brazil and earning a total of 7, thus winning the tournament.
