Draw

The draw of the tournament was held on 19 December 2024, 14:15 PYT (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay.[3] The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five. The hosts Colombia and defending champions Brazil were seeded into Group A and Group B respectively and assigned to position 1 in their group, while the remaining teams were placed into four "pairing pots" according to their results in the 2024 South American U-17 Women's Championship (shown in brackets).[3]

Seeded Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4
  •  Colombia (2) (Hosts, assigned to A1)
  •  Brazil (1) (Title holders, assigned to B1)

From each pot, the first team drawn was placed into Group A and the second team drawn was placed into Group B. In both groups, teams from pot 1 were allocated in position 2, teams from pot 2 in position 3, teams from pot 3 in position 4 and teams from pot 4 in position 5.[4]

The draw resulted in the following groups:[5]
