The 2020 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina was the 12th edition of the CONMEBOL Libertadores Femenina (also referred to as the Copa Libertadores Femenina), South America's premier women's club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. The competition was played between 5 and 21 March 2021.
The tournament was originally to be held in Chile between 25 September and 11 October 2020.[1] However, it was postponed by CONMEBOL on 19 June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, provisionally to early 2021.[2] CONMEBOL announced on 20 November 2020 that the 2020 edition would be held in Argentina from 5 to 21 March 2021.[3] Corinthians, the defending champions, were eliminated in the semi-finals.
Ferroviária (Brazil) defeated América (Colombia) 2–1 to win their second title.[4]
Format
[edit]For the group stage, the 16 teams were drawn into four groups. Teams in each group played one another in a round-robin basis, with the top two teams of each group advancing to the quarter-finals. Starting from the quarter-finals, the teams played a single-elimination tournament.[5]
Teams
[edit]The competition was contested by 16 teams:
- the champions of all ten CONMEBOL associations
- the title holders
- an additional team from the host association
- four additional teams from associations with the best historical performance in the tournament (associations in bold receive two berths according to the points total until the 2019 edition).[3]

- Paraguay: 101 points
- Argentina: 82 points
