The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, on 27 December 2021 the Brazilian Football Confederation asked CONMEBOL to transfer the event to Paraguay because of the sanitary restrictions imposed in Brazil due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CONMEBOL confirmed the change to Paraguay on 4 January 2022, maintaining the same dates. Planned to be held in 2021, the tournament was postponed until 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it marked the return of the Copa América de Futsal after four years as the 2019 edition ended up being cancelled.
Brazil were the defending champions, having won their tenth title in 2017, but were eliminated by Argentina in the semi-finals leading to the third place match against Colombia, which they won by 3–0 score. Argentina won their third title after defeating Paraguay 1–0 in the final.
