* Argentina (ARG): The second Argentine berth was originally reserved for the 2021 Liga Nacional de Futsal champions, however, the second berth was awarded to Boca Juniors as Barracas Central were champions in both tournaments that awarded berths to the 2022 Copa Libertadores (2021 Campeonato Único de Primera División and 2021 Liga Nacional de Futsal), and Boca Junior were runners-up in both tournaments.
