In August 2018, CONMEBOL announced the return of the South American Pre-Olympic Tournament in 2020 with Colombia as the host country, after a 16-year absence. The last edition of this competition had been held in Chile in 2004. From the 2008 through the 2016 Summer Olympics, the two teams from South America were determined by the South American Youth Football Championship, always held in the previous year. The tournament was held from 18 January through 9 February 2020.
The top two teams qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics men's football tournament in Japan as the CONMEBOL representatives. Argentina successfully defended their title won 16 years ago, and qualified for the Olympics together with runners-up Brazil, the defending Olympic champions.
